[edit] Bylaws
The bylaws of a society are the rules used to govern the actions of a society. They must be harmonized (in line with the Society's Act of BC), and are essentially customizable by the members of the society.
Examples:
BC Sustainable Energy Association: http://www.bcsea.org/about/bylaws.asp
Initial notes:
Two sessions:
- Becoming a member
- Governing the society
Things to consider:
- Must correspond with the Society Act of BC
- We’ve adopted “Schedule B”
- How you become a member
- Size of BOD & How we choose the BOD
