|  | | Why Are Our Bylaws So Important?
An organization's bylaws provide the structure and framework for how the organization (in this case LWVGT) conducts its business. Prospective members should be asked to read the League’s Bylaws prior to joining League, to affirm their commitment, especially to the League’s Purpose and Policies. Bylaws should be updated regularly to be sure they reflect current operations and are in conformity with National Bylaws. While the Board makes decisions on our behalf in many areas, the Bylaws are so important that the general membership has a say in suggesting changes and voting on them.
Every year, LWVGT members are encouraged to review our Bylaws to see if changes should be made. Any member may suggest changes to the Bylaws. Suggestions from members and the Board are reviewed by the Bylaws Committee, submitted to the Board for its recommendation and voted on by the general membership at the Annual Meeting in April.
