 +===Proposal 037 -- Change bylaws restriction on establishment of scholarship / discount programs===
 +
 +**__IMPORTANT__**:​ Bylaws changes must be approved by the full membership.  ​
 +
 +==RATIONALE==
 +The board should have the flexibility to create discount programs for memberships for marketing/​member recruiting purposes. ​ Currently all dues changes require the approval of the full membership. ​ Rather than remove that restriction,​ it is proposed to change the restriction that all discount programs must be open to all members.
 +     
 +==CURRENT BYLAWS TEXT==
 +    VI.5.4 Scholarships
 + 1. The Board may establish a scholarship program and reduce or waive these dues or fees for some members accordingly. ​
 + 2. Application to any scholarship programs established shall be open to all members.
 +
 +==PROPOSED REVISION==
 +    VI.5.4 Scholarships
 + 1. The Board may establish discounts, scholarships,​ or other programs and reduce or waive these dues or fees for some members accordingly.  ​
 + 2. No discount programs or other modification of dues shall be enacted which are counter to the organizations goals of inclusion and diversity.
