The 2018 NARFE Bylaws (FH-4) published in October 2018 stated that a chapter, a federation executive board, a federation conference/annual meeting, the NEB, any committee designated by the NEB, or a group of twenty members in good standing may submit proposed amendments to the NARFE bylaws.   Amendments to any standing rule require submission of the same form and will be processed in the same manner as bylaws amendments.
