Kramer, PANO plan another bylaw webinar

Editor Don Kramer and the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations are planning another webinar on the art and science of bylaws, which serve as the constitution of a nonprofit organization.

Well written bylaws can establish power relationships and provide a clear roadmap for handling procedural issues in running a nonprofit organization.  Badly written bylaws can raise questions, add to confusion and rancor, and lead to lengthy, expensive, and diverting litigation.  You can learn some of the ways to draft good bylaws and avoid bad ones by participating in the webinar.

The newly scheduled webinar will be held at 1:30 ET on Tuesday, January 25.  Put it on your calendar and sign up now.

One of the participants described a recent session as “very useful.”  “I have been involved in revising our bylaws for the last year,” he said.  “I wish I had it a year ago!”
