Bylaws: Guidance on Reviewing, Revising and Ensuring Compliance

Bylaws: Guidance on Reviewing, Revising and Ensuring Compliance

For a nonprofit, bylaws are more than just a legal necessity; they are the roadmap for how a nonprofit should function. It is essential that your nonprofit has quality bylaws that are customized for your organization. Bylaws should be both clear and flexible. If your board does not understand the organization’s bylaws or worse yet, hasn’t read the bylaws, your organization is not running as effectively as it could and is at major risk for governance disputes. The bylaws should be used as a tool by your board to ensure effective governance and should provide clear guidance regarding the board and officer's roles and responsibilities.

Please join attorney Nikki Semanchik for a presentation that examines the important provisions that should always be included in your bylaws. We will also discuss how to engage your board in the process of reviewing and revising your bylaws and key questions that need to be answered by your board during this process.
