RLC By-Laws Committee

Our goal is to work to improve the RLC By-Laws including: clarification of ambiguous text, simplification, modernization, and addressing gaps (due to e.g. change in Laws). It is a common best practice in non-profit organizations to go through such a revision periodically.

Our intention is to have this designed as a member-driven process. By design, a large majority of the By-Law Committee Members are not Trustees. Additionally, we like to incorporate members’ feedback and suggestions in multiple stages of the process. As a first step, we ask you to send us your suggestions for By-Law improvements. To help us address your suggestion please be as detailed and as concrete as possible.
Please include:

  1. The issue this suggestion is addressing

  2. Proposed changes to resolve said issue

  3. List of relevant locations (page and paragraph number) in the By-Law document.

(Note: The scope of this committee is the By-Laws only. Trustees Laws are handled separately by the RLC. Trustees, and must not conflict with the By-Law.)
