Constitution - The fundamental principles of an organization which determine the responsibilities and rights of its officers and members. Bylaws – The detailed procedures and working guidelines of the organization which govern the day- to-day operations of the organization and accompany the Constitution.
A set of bylaws should include at least the following: Name of the organization. Purpose of the organization. Membership. Governing body. Officers. Meetings. Fiscal year, financial matters, audit (Including any requirements your state may have for the financial governance of not-for-profits.)
There's plenty of work that goes into writing bylaws, so let's break down what you need to get writing! 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.
Typically, the constitution will set out: The objectives for your club (e.g. what you want to do or provide for your members). the different forms of membership (e.g. adult, junior, social) and perhaps their subscription rates The rules by which your club will operate.
It should state the reasons for, and intent of, the group and the Constitution. Article I - Name. Section 1. Article II - Purpose. Article III - Membership. Article IV - Meetings and Procedures. Article IV - Officers. Article VI - Electing, Appointing and Removing Officers. Article VII - Committees. Article VIII - By-Laws.
Law is interpreted by societal or political institution as a set of rules that are useful in governing the behaviour of the people of the land. A Constitution is the set of fundamental laws that stipulates how a country should be governed.
The constitution covers the fundamental principles but does not prescribe specific procedures for operating your organization. Bylaws set forth in detail the procedures your group must follow to conduct business in an orderly manner.
Most clubs have bylaws that are open-ended regarding elections. However, there may be the chance that your club has bylaws that prohibit online voting. Read here about how you can amend your bylaws.
