Bylaws are the rules and regulations that govern the internal management of an organization, such as a nonprofit, corporation, or association. They outline how the organization operates, including the roles and responsibilities of its members, how meetings are conducted, and the process for making decisions. Bylaws help ensure that everyone involved understands the procedures and expectations. Typically, bylaws include sections on membership requirements, voting procedures, and the process for amending the bylaws themselves. They serve as a foundational document that provides structure and clarity, helping to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts within the organization.
