Since 2011, the AIBC has been engaged in a comprehensive bylaw review process to address both substantive bylaw subject matter areas and more routine amendments. The Bylaw Review Committee (BRC), supported by AIBC Council, is now consulting on a suite of bylaws in two subject areas:
- A series of amendments to certain bylaws in the AIBC’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (“Code of Ethics”). This will be the first phase of a multi-stage update to the Code of Ethics, which will span several bylaw initiatives.
- Routine administrative bylaw amendments to several investigation and discipline bylaws, as well as to the honorary membership voting process.
The Code of Ethics and Administrative Bylaws initiative is organized into three categories: Code of Ethics – Part 1; Investigation and Discipline; and Honorary Members. An overview of each section, including a PDF of the bylaw amendments and supporting rationales, can be found on the AIBC website.
