Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of existing board procedure, policy, set of guidelines, or system
  • Creation of one document outlining one procedure, policy, operations, or set of guidelines, for example: bylaws, board meeting procedure, succession planning guidelines, committee policies, board member orientation handbook, etc.
What we have in place
  • We currently have dedicated staff member, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a lawyer as part of our board, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,298 , allowing us to buy new books for our learners.

I would like a short audit or ideas on our current bylaws. Our board is starting to go over each of them soon.
