If you would prefer to send your written testimony directly to staff, you may email rblake@msms.org. Both types of submissions will be shared with the Reference Committees prior to their deliberations.
Reorganization Report and Recommendations: The Task Force and MSMS Board of Directors recommend a series of comprehensive structural changes designed to position MSMS for the next decade of success. As these recommendations require bylaw changes, they will be submitted to the House for decision. They include: replacing the House of Delegates with an all-member, year-round policy forum; eliminating mandatory dual membership, eliminating the Judicial Commission, and reducing the size of the MSMS Board of Directors.
