At the November 6th, 2014 meeting, the new Board of Directors approved new Association bylaws to commence starting July 1st, 2015. Highlights of the changes:
- Consistent terminology throughout and removal of conflicts.
- Moved articles explaining the positions (above) ahead of others to acquaint the reader with terminology.
- For
better financial oversight, added a Treasurer officer. Added
more specifics concerning financial duties between Treasurer,
Exec. Director and President.
- Executive Committee is now called a Board of Directors. Director responsibilities are listed. The Executive Committee becomes the group name of 3 officers, Executive Director, and ex-officio past-president and NYSSBA Area 9 Director.
- For Executive Director, stated responsibilities to match current Association desires.
- Removed
Legislative Director and Program Director. V.P. assumes
legislative duties and (new) Executive Committee addresses the program.
- Officers now have a limit of 3 successive years (was 2 then no limit several years ago). There is no cumulative limit.

- One
vote per member board instead of five.
- Officers only vote on
behalf of their district if either (a) they are the acting Director or (b) if no Director or alternate is present.
