/ NAPHIT Bylaws /
NAPHIT members were almost unanimous in their support of the proposed amendments to the NAPHIT Bylaws approved July 11, 2003 confirming the members' desire to modify the following Articles in the Bylaws:
- Article I: Name. The name of the association has officially been changed from the Association for Public Health Chief Information Officers (APHCIO) to the National Association for Public Health Information Technology (NAPHIT).
- Article II: Purpose. The purpose of the organization now reflects a new, broader membership base that includes IT leaders from State, Territory, and Local public health agencies.
- Article III: Membership. The membership categories have been modified to create an Agency Designated Membership that provides three voting memberships per agency. The amendment also creates two types of individual memberships: an Individual Membership (voting) and an individual Membership (non-voting). Individual Membership (voting) was designed to allow individuals from public health agencies to join as voting members when their agency will not or cannot appropriate funds for a NAPHIT Agency Designated Membership. In such cases, the NAPHIT executive committee can offer these individuals the option of an Individual Membership (voting).
- Article XIV. Dues. The date for collecting membership dues has changed from January 1 to July 1 to coincide with the state fiscal year.
