NONPROFIT BYLAWS

Bylaws provide the framework for how your board functions. I can help you complete a comprehensive review of the bylaws or draft amendments for specific sections. A detailed review usually entails working closely with your Bylaws Task Force to negotiate different points of view.

Common client bylaws changes or clarifications:

1. •Membership classes, qualifications and rights
   

2. •Trustee and officer terms
   

3. •Officer positions
   

4. •Committee structure
   

I prepare a comparison of the current clauses with the recommended revisions.  A draft of the proposed amendments will be reviewed either by your attorney or an outside attorney specializing in exempt organizations prior to being presented to the board or membership.
