Constitution & ByLaws

Our organization uses three documents to govern itself: our Constitution, our Bylaws and our Standing Rules.

The Constitution explains the structure of our organization, the Bylaws govern us, and the Standing Rules relate to the administration operation.

The Constitution and Bylaws of your Unit and County should be reviewed at the beginning of each administration and all changes or updates recorded in the Department Office.

  1. To accomplish this: Order two copies of "SUGGESTED UNIT CONSTITUTION & BYLAWS" from Department Office. (County Rules contained therein.) at a cost of $1.50 each.
     

  2. Or you can Download Suggested Unit Constitution and Bylaws at no cost to the Unit
     

Include notices of proposed change(s) with your meeting notice.

  2. Voting cannot take place until the next meeting.

  3. After your members have approved changes, a 2/3 vote of the members present is required.

  4. Complete ALL blanks making the necessary changes.

  5. Send both copies along with the transmittal form to the Department Constitution & Bylaws Chairman.
