      <Desc>To provide residential semester programs in the Washington DC metro area to students attending Lutheran affiliated colleges. Each semester LCWS welcomes 40 to 50 students to Washington, D.C. and is proud to extend the quality of education from each of our schools to students while they live and work in the Nation's Capital.Through professional engagement in a competitive internship placement, academic inquiry in challenging weekly classes, and whole-hearted participation in the day-to-day life of Washington, D.C., students gain a new perspective on what it means to be an active member of society in a culturally diverse world. Students of the program leave Washington, D.C., with a newfound confidence in who they are and a better sense of their purpose in life.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Bylaws were amended during the year. The changes include: Members are now added by a majority of the full Board of Directors, not just a majority of those present. Members are removed by a majority of the full Board of Directors. Quorum is clearly stated as a majority of Directors (previously it was a majority of those present). Specifies how decisions can be made without a meeting of the Board. Dissolving the corporation requires a vote of three quarters of the full Board of Directors at a special meeting of the Board held for such purpose. This raises the requirement from a majority of those present. Changes to bylaws requires a 2/3 vote of the full Board of Directors. This raises the requirement from a majority of those present.</ExplanationTxt>
