IRA seeks ratification of reincorporation and bylaws revision

 The International Reading Association’s Board of Directors recently approved reincorporation of IRA in Delaware under a revised set of Bylaws. (The Association is currently incorporated in Pennsylvania.) In order to ratify the Board’s recommendation, the Association will need the approval of a majority of all members in a special ballot to be conducted between April 2 and June 30, 2008. This is an important issue for IRA, and we respectfully ask each and every member to participate in the process. The Board of Directors recommends your approval of reincorporation in the State of Delaware and approval of the revised set of Bylaws.

The current Bylaws and proposed Bylaws have been posted on the IRA website. There is also a link to provide feedback. If you are an IRA member, please read this information carefully and prepare to cast your vote. Voting will take place between April 2 and June 30, 2008.
