The governing board may establish by resolution councils, districts, committees,
commissions, and/or task forces as necessary to structure the organization as its
membership grows and necessitates such structures.
Article VLogo
The Logo of CALLAC as represented herein reflects the (a) non-recognition of the
legitimacy of the border between Alta California and Baja California and the goal of
harmony and unity of all Californians (b) the idea of Consafos [C/S]. As defined in
Wikipedia, The name of the band derives from 'con safos,' a Chicano term meaning
'with safety,' used to mark graffiti. If such a piece was marked with 'con safos,' it was off
limits, a sort of trademark, and a way of indicating that a graffito was complete and
unarguable. In Chicano usage, a derogatory term placed after Consafos or C/S has
been applied goes on the writer of the derogatory comment, not on the original creator.
Article VIAmendments
These Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of the full voting membership. The
governing board may establish a quorum for any vote.
