With a landslide vote, paid-up members decided to change the name of our organization to Philippine Bird Photography, Inc. (PBPI), from the previous Wild Bird and Nature Photographers of the Philippines, Inc (WBNPPI). The online poll ended today, with 33 out of the 43 paid-up members casting their e-vote. The new name got a total of 26 votes, while the old one got 5 votes.
Among the reasons cited for the name change are brevity, easier name recall and the fact that we have been known for quite a while as members of the PBPF.
In a related development, the Constitution and By-Laws (CBL) of the organization was ratified by a majority of the paid-up members last April 1, 2010. The CBL was initially drafted by our legal adviser Atty. Jenny de Villa based on inputs from the first meeting of the Board of Trustees (BOT). The CBL was subsequently approved by the BOT and then presented to the general membership for online ratification.
PBPI is now ready to move forward with the SEC registration process.
Big congratulations to all PBPI members!
