ARTICLE 15 CFP AMENDMENTS TO CFP CONSTITUTION
15.1 The National Executive Council, or any committee or task force established by the National Executive Council, by a National Convention, or a Constituency Association, on approval of a majority vote of the members at a duly constituted meeting of the Association called for that purpose, among others, may propose amendments to this Constitution. An amendment so proposed by a Constituency Association, together with a copy of the notice and minutes of the meeting where it was passed shall be presented to the national Secretary Treasurer of the CFP.
15.2 The Secretary Treasurer of the CFP, or the chair of the Constitutional Committee, shall create a grassroots Constitutional Amendment Process, which shall include timelines, leading up to each National Convention. Such process will allow for all Constituency Associations to receive all Constitutional Amendments to be debated at the National Convention not less than thirty (30) days prior to the National Convention.
15.3 This Constitution may be amended at a National Convention but must receive a two- thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast, which include the votes cast in a mail-in vote by members not in attendance at the National Convention.
15.4 This constitution may also be amended at any time, with a minimum of fifteen (15) days' notice, by direct referendum of CFP members, provided any such amendment receives a two-thirds majority of the votes cast.
