The VAFRE Board of Directors has just completed the process of reviewing and updating the organization’s Articleso f Incorporation and Bylaws to make sure that they are in line with current organization practices.
Due to the functions filled by the management company, the Board agreed that it would be appropriate to combine the positions of Secretary and Treasurer into one and to have the Immediate Past President serve as the fourth officer of the organization.
