Well-written and formulated bylaws help shape power relationships within a nonprofit organization; provide unambiguous procedures to prevent disputes; and reduce the risks of litigation. Bylaws should provide answers, not raise questions. Come with questions and candidness, and leave with clarity and confidence to draft or edit a workable document.
What you will learn:
- Gain clarity on procedural issues
- Learn how to avoid, avoid, avoid
- goal-oriented expressions
- inconsistent language
- passive tense and ambiguities
- Determine whether your bylaws appropriately answer "whose organization is this"
- Understand how to produce an effective document
- Receive "Annotated" Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
- Take home sample forms that work
