Board Operations & Systems

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.
Additional details

I would like our bylaws reviewed for best practices, updates and such

What we have in place
  • We currently have bylaws that have been reviewed by an attorney, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated executive director, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,723 , allowing us to work with the people of northeast Michigan to get them critical information and referrals.

We like to review our policies and such every few years and it's time to review and update our bylaws. We have grown a lot and would like to make sure we are doing the best job that we can.
