MATA Members-
This summer, the MATA executive board has been reviewing our policies and procedures and bylaws. Any amendments to the bylaws must be voted on by the membership. We ask that you please review these amendments by clicking the button below. We must provide a 90-day period for review and comments. These amendments will be discussed in person at the fall business meeting on November 9 at Maine General Hospital in Waterville. Details on the meeting will be released soon. Once the 90-day period concludes, a vote will take place electronically. All members will receive a ballot to vote. The complete bylaws can be found on our website at www.gomata.org. If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please reach out to me at president@gomata.org.
