Abstract
This article details proposed revisions to the bylaws of the Association for Communication Administration, outlining changes in mission statement, membership structure, governance, and voting procedures. It clarifies that the association’s objective is to foster dialogue among departmental and senior administrators in communication arts and sciences, while promoting systematic collection and dissemination of relevant information. Membership will be defined at the unit level, represented by the chief administrative officer, and only units that have paid dues before the annual meeting may vote. Governance authority is vested in an executive committee that manages interim business through authorized mail ballots, ensuring continuity between yearly meetings conducted during the discipline’s national convention. The revisions codify transparent decision making, streamline administrative accountability, and align organizational practice with contemporary standards of professional association management, providing a template for policy scholars interested in nonprofit governance, organizational communication, and higher education leadership.
