Title

CBPC 2 - Revised CFP Constitution and ByLaws

Issue you would like the Conference to consider

Acceptance of the Draft of the Revised Conference for Food Protection Constitution and ByLaws 2018

Public Health Significance

2018 II-024 Review the Conference for Food Protection governing documents (Conference for Food Protection Constitution and Bylaws, Conference Procedures, Conference Biennial Manual, position descriptions, conference policies, etc.) to facilitate a merger and conformance of these documents into a comprehensive "Conference for Food Protection Manual." (Issues 2012-II-001, 2012-II-004, 2014-II-018 and 2016-II-026)

Current technologies could be investigated to accomplish the same intent.

The existing charge dates back to 2012 and asks for a merger of CFP documents. In order to create a merge of existing documents, the documents being merged need to be harmonious with each other. Due to discord within the same documents as well as discord between documents, the logical approach was to have a solid foundational document. The CFP's foundational document is our Constitution. Once the Constitution is a solid foundational document, steps can be taken to make the rest of the existing CFP documents harmonious with the Constitution and each other.

Continual review of the core governing documents will help prevent contradictory language in the CFP's governing documents.
