    \n
  • Potential members are only able to join at the conclusion of their first meeting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The board can propose ratifications to the bylaws, to be voted on by all active LCW members in attendance, as needed at any meeting, given a one month proposal period for member deliberation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
