The language of the organizing purposes was changed to "The purposes of this organization are (1) to bring together singers and audiences who share a common interest in high-quality performance of time-honored choral masterworks and an ever-broadening range of excellent repertoire from many traditions; (2) to establish and maintain a standard of excellence in choral music performance; and (3) to ally musical experiences with the cultural development and enrichment of the community. Refer also to the Society's mission statement, which can be found on its website." Some policy statements were moved out of the bylaws into separate documents.

The bylaws now clarify that if a successor to a Governor cannot be found after they reach the limit of six consecutive one-year terms, the Governor may remain on the Board until their successor is appointed or elected.
