|  | | 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 general membership plays an important role regarding the Bylaws by 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.
If you would like to suggest a change to the Bylaws or if you would like to participate on the Bylaws Committee, please send an email to the Bylaws Committee: bylaws@lwvtucson.com. The deadline for submitting changes is January 25.
