Vote on Bylaws
@ Annual Membership Meeting
When: January 31, 2025, 1pm
Where: Clemenceau Museum
For a non-profit, Bylaws are the organization's operating manual that outlines how it will function. Bylaws define the structure, roles, and procedures for governance, including the size and function of the board, election processes, officer roles and operating rules. Bylaws help protect the organization from potential problems by clearly outlining rules around authority levels, rights, and expectations.
A revision to the Bylaws of the Verde Historical Society (VHS) has been prepared, to be voted on by VHS Members at the Annual Membership Meeting, which is scheduled for January 31, 2025.
All current members may vote.
You may view a copy of the proposed Bylaws; just click the link here:
Or you can drop by the Clemenceau Museum during regular business hours to see/obtain a copy.
