Minutes Recording Secretary: Jennifer Quinlan.
Old Business:
New Vice Chair: With the election of Michelle Danyluk
to Secretary on the Executive Board, she could not complete her second year as Vice Chair of the Committee and
Jennifer Quinlan was asked prior to the Annual Meeting to
complete Michelle's term as Vice Chair as well as serve as
Chairperson of the Committee for the next two years.
Meeting from the 2018 meeting reviewed: Approved
unanimously with minor editorial corrections.
Review of 2018 recommendations to the Executive
Board: The Executive Board agreed with all recommendations made in 2018 and the Committee agreed that the
new statement regarding Roberts Rules of Order included
in the 2019-2020 Committee and Professional Development Group Handbook was sufficient and clarified appropriate vote-taking processes for PDGs.
It was also discussed that while the Executive Board
agreed with the recommendation to make the list of Award
Committees be more consistent with current practices by
making the wording more generic so that individual awards
are not listed, this has not been done. Therefore it was
agreed that this recommendation should be made to the
Executive Board again this year.
New Business:
New Vice Chair: Discussion surrounded the idea that
there has been an attempt to rotate leadership of the Committee between a representative from industry, academia
and government. Based on current membership and who
has/has not already served as Vice Chair/Chair. A motion
was made by Caroline Smith DeWaal that Bobby Krishna
be nominated as the New Vice Chair, the motion was seconded by Kathy Glass and it was unanimously voted that
Bobby Krishna be the new Vice Chair of the Constitution &
Bylaws Committee. His appointment will be recommended
to the Executive Board.
New Committee Members: There was discussion that
over the past year or two some members of the committee
have left the committee either because of retirement or
election to the Executive Board. Therefore the committee would like to invite three individuals, one each from
industry, academia and government, to join the committee.
Potential IAFP members were identified and will receive an
invitation to join the committee from the Chairperson upon
approval of new members by the Executive Board.

Recommendations to the Executive Board:
1. The list of Award Committees in the Bylaws should be
updated to be consistent with current practices. That
is, the current list is outdated and removal of actual
names of awards and use of more generic wording
would allow the Bylaws to be correct regardless of the
addition of/or removal of awards.
2. Approve invitation of three new members to the committee, one each from industry, academia and government, to replace committee members who have left
the committee over the past few years.
3. Approve Jennifer Quinlan as Vice Chair to complete
the term vacated by Michelle Danyluk and then to
serve as Chair beginning August 2, 2020.
4. Approve Bobby Krishna to serve as Vice Chair beginning August 2, 2020.
Next Meeting Date: August 2, 2020, Cleveland, Ohio.
Meeting Adjourned: 11:35 a.m.
Chairperson: Jennifer Quinlan (Vice Chair).
