governance documents

From isolated bylaw amendments to full revisions... from bylaws for a new association to rules for an association that is well-established... the important thing is to say what you mean. Your parliamentarian should have the training necessary to codify the vision and ensure you get it right the first time, so you can move on to other matters.

Bylaws should communicate the structure and flow of authority of the organization. Too much detail in the bylaws can be just as damaging as too little. I can help you develop the framework that works best for your purposes.

I'm also experienced in governance documents such as standing rules, board standards of conduct, board operations manuals, policies, and disciplinary handbooks.

In addition, I can conduct a governance documents review to tell you if you have conflicting rules and processes and whether your current rules are effective for achieving your goals. (Hint: if the right rule is in the wrong document, it may not be enforceable.)
