SECTIONS 



On presentation of a formal written petition signed 

 by one hundred or more members, the Executive Com- 

 mittee of the American Fisheries Society may approve 

 the formation in any region of a Section of the Ameri- 

 can Fisheries Society to be known as the Section. 



Such a Section may organize by electing its own of- 

 ficers, and by adopting such rules as are not in conflict 

 with the Constitution and By-Laws of the American 

 Fisheries Society. 



It may hold meetings and otherwise advance the gen- 

 eral interests of the Society, except that the time and 

 place of its annual meeting must receive the approval of 

 the Executive Committee of the American Fisheries So- 

 ciety, and that without specific vote of the American 

 Fisheries Society, the Section shall not commit itself to 

 any expression of public policy on fishing matters.
