This Constitution may be amended at any Regular Meeting of the Class by a two-thirds vote of the Regular Members present in person and by returned proxy ballots, provided that at least 50% of the members of the Class (considered to be "active" members by the Association of Graduates and have a good address on file) vote. Proposed amendments shall be submitted by the Board to Regular Members for approval, together with a written explanation of the amendment's purpose and a proposed ballot.
