By-Laws

The Association By-Laws are periodically reviewed to ensure they accurately reflect the organization. The Board has reviewed and updated them with the goals they should:

  • Be as simple as possible
  • Fulfill requirements in the Articles of Incorporation
  • Reflect what we actually do
  • Focus on our core purpose to promote and educate about the Grand Jury.

As such, the following changes were made:

  • Changed the membership-year to the Court July-June year
  • Removed the Associate Member distinction
  • Restructured the Committees section by removing committees we don’t have and creating 2 committee categories: permanent and ad-hoc.

The Board approved these changes at the August 1, 2024 Board meeting. The entire GJAOC membership voted and approved them September 12, 2024. The current By-Laws can be viewed here.
