10 steps for writing bylaws for an association Research. Form a committee. Create the structure. Outline your organization's key roles and responsibilities. Establish your meeting rules. Define your membership. Address finances. Outline the amendment process.
Some of the differences between standing rules and bylaws are: Bylaws state when the meetings of the association are held. Standing rules tell where and what time association meetings are held, and when executive board meetings are held. Bylaws give the primary responsibilities of officers and chairmen.
Bylaws generally define things like the group's official name, purpose, requirements for membership, officers' titles and responsibilities, how offices are to be assigned, how meetings should be conducted, and how often meetings will be held.
One set of bylaws is 3 pages, one 5 pages the last is 10 pages. Bylaws should cover the heart of what is required but not a lot more. Bylaws should rarely need to be amended. Everything else can be in policies and procedure documents voted on by the board, these can change easily and as needed by a vote of the board.
