Bylaws Toolkit

CAPLAW’s latest publication, the Bylaws Toolkit, is just what you need to make your organization’s bylaws clear, effective, and up-to-date. Created in the spring of 2006, the toolkit outlines key concepts for your agency’s bylaws, such as the authority of the Board of Directors, petitions for board representation, replacement of directors due to vacancies, quorum and voting policies, officers, conflicts of interest, and more. This 25-page toolkit sets forth the primary issues that your CAA’s bylaws should address, as well as some common ways in which nonprofit organizations and CAAs structure their governing documents. The toolkit is available in hard-copy or in handy electronic form. Order now!
