Gregory has an extensive record of bylaws recommendations for various organizations, and has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly! Gregory’s bylaws philosophy he heard from a fellow parliamentarian: “the rules should serve the organization; the organization should not serve the rules.”

Description: Interpreting Ambiguous Bylaws. Bylaws are a critical document for an organization. They define the organization’s purpose and most important rules. Unfortunately, bylaws also can be ambiguous or even contradictory. This presentation provides tools for interpreting ambiguous bylaws with examples inspired by real-life situations. Participants will see how rules of order placed within bylaws work.
