Dust Off Your Bylaws: Why Your Nonprofit Bylaws May Be Putting You at Risk

When was the last time your nonprofit actually read its bylaws? For many nonprofit organizations, bylaws are outdated, inconsistent with current practices, or missing key provisions that support effective governance.

This engaging session will help nonprofit leaders and board members identify common bylaw gaps, including board terms, officer roles, voting procedures, meeting requirements, committees, conflicts of interest, and amendment processes. Attendees will walk away knowing what to look for and why regular bylaw review is essential.
