Very few people bother to look at their nonprofit bylaws – until they want to take some unusual action or there is a dispute. And that’s when you need bylaws that work!
There is both art and science in drafting nonprofit bylaws that work. Well-written bylaws help shape power relationships within a nonprofit organization, provide unambiguous procedures to prevent disputes, and reduce the risks of litigation. They are the “Constitution” of a nonprofit corporation. They should provide answers, not raise questions.
This webinar will answer your questions and leave you with confidence in being able to recognize a workable set of governing instruments.
In a line-by-line review of sample articles of incorporation and bylaws, you will learn how to avoid aspirational language, inconsistent language, passive tense, and ambiguities. Participants can raise their questions for immediate answers. You will take home articles of incorporation and bylaws "annotated" with explanatory comments, as well as sample forms that work!
*CPE & CLE credits are available for this program; to receive credit you must register through Nonprofit Issues. |
