Bylaws: The "Constitution" of Nonprofits - The Art and Science of Making Them Work-Webinar

July 27, 2011 - 9:30am

This presentation addresses the art and science of drafting bylaws. 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- goal-oriented expressions,  inconsistent language and 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.
Who Should Attend: Executive Directors, Board Members, Consultants, Attorneys and others interested in reviewing and assessing an organization's bylaws.
 
Presenter:  Donald W. Kramer, Esquire, Editor of Nonprofit Issues
