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 is when you need bylaws that work!
But bylaws that set out clear roles and responsibilities so that people can understand how to proceed, without litigation. 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. Come with questions; leave with understanding:
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. You will also take home sample forms that work! *CPE & CLE credits are available for this program; to receive credit you must register through Nonprofit Issues. |
