At the conclusion of the discussion, the Board unanimously passed the following motion: "I move that the ACPE Board of Representatives accept the recommendation of the approval by the membership through a vote on bylaws this fall. And that the Organizational Design Work Group is dismissed with our greatest thanks for their dedication and commitment to ACPE."
