Dear SCEA members,
The Bylaws of Silicon Valley Chinese Engineers Association (SCEA) was last amended on July 16, 1994. Many things have changed in the last 12 years. Per members’ request and having had many discussions, we, Board of Directors of SCEA, have come to the conclusion that it is time to make necessary modifications to the By-law of SCEA. Please see the proposed amendments at the end of this message.
On September 14th of 2006, SCEA regular members (have paid your membership before September 14th of 2006) will receive a separate email containing your membership ID and instructions how to vote for By-law amendments. Please show your care to SCEA and exercise your right to vote for SCEA By-law amendments after receiving the email.
We’ll appreciate SCEA associate members or any SCEA friends to show your support and give your opinions in the SCEA Forum about these By-law amendments. Please click or copy-paste the following link:

We will announce the results on September 29th, 2006.
