Unlike employee guidelines, bylaws pertain to board-level decisions and actions about the day-to-day running of the business. Think of them as legal guidelines for your business, any action that violates them could be challenged in court.
A court of law will side with your bylaws in any dispute brought by another board member, an employee, volunteer or recipient of services who may have a grievance. Keep your bylaws relevant.
