ABA Board Announces Proposed Bylaws Changes

Every three years they review each vendor as part of their checks and balance process. In 2023, the ABA Board hired a new general counsel as part of that review and, as part of the onboarding with the new general counsel, counsel reviewed all of ABA’s legal docs such as the association’s letter of incorporation, IRS Forms 1024 application and determination letter, and the ABA’s Bylaws.
