You do not need to make a change to the bylaws, but it is probably a  
good idea for something of this magnitude. However, the board may  
adopt operational procedures by vote (standing rules). The only  
exception is that you cannot vote into affect any procedure that  
contradicts or voids the bylaws.

Here is a good reference from Robert's Rules of Order: http://
