The Conservancy’s Articles of Incorporation were submitted to and approved by the California Secretary of State’s office in 1995. While it is not customary to make changes in an organization’s Articles of Incorporation, it is a good governance practice to periodically inspect the articles and make determination they remain relevant and consistent with the organization’s mission.  This is presented to the committee for review.
