If you have not as yet attended these workshops – don’t miss out this time around!    Do register soon – (please see below)

 

 

As  past participants aptly remarked…

 

“Really great training! … this workshop helped me learn how to create a guide for ‘instituting a coaching culture’ in the workplace to retain staff and develop their talent.   It enabled me to determine key drivers for my team to keep them engaged…”                   (from workshop “Engaging Your Employees”)

 

“This workshop was ‘right on” !   It was practical and applicable to what I do --- had a lot of substance to it”.

Session Five:  
TAPPING ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION TO ADDRESS ORGANIZATIONAL DILEMMAS  

Session description:

Innovation is not just about coming up with new ideas for service and programs. It’s a way to think about how you solve all the challenging facing your organization.

This leadership development session examines the complexity of dilemmas facing today’s organizational leaders and provides a simple and powerful tool to organize your thinking and uncover new possibilities for moving forward. Research and experience show that the success of any organizational initiative depends on the fit between the situation you’re facing the planning and implementation tools used to address it. The Three-Lens Conversation (TLC) is a practical tool that will help you lead change under challenging and uncertain conditions.

Your session takeaways:

  • The ability to map organizational dilemmas on a complexity continuum;
  • The ability to match the type of situation you are facing to appropriate management tools and methods and to see how different management approaches support and reinforce each other.
  • Practice three key practices for leading in challenging times. There will be an interactive panel discussion on this session topic in the afternoon.

Here’s a document that has all the basics about forming a non profit in WA State including Bylaws. If you look at Exhibits C and D, you’ll see samples of Bylaws.

Please note this is an old How To document and may be out of date. King County Bar Association may have an updated version. The bylaw sample should still be helpful for you though.

I am not a lawyer or expert in this area. Our organization used this to help us as we formed the organization.

Hope this is useful for you.

Pam,

 

The answer is yes and no.

 

If you plan to make the executive director an ex-officio member of the board (which means a member by means of her/his position) then that should be outlined in the by-laws. Remember, ex-officio does not mean without voting powers….a member of the board is a member of the board.

 

If you plan on simply including the executive director in board meetings as a staff resource and a non-voting, non-board member, that does not have to be in the by-laws.

 

The by-laws need to make clear how the board is to enter into contracts and other legal obligations on behalf of the corporation. While some of this is inherent in the state's corporation laws, the by-laws can, and should, reference those powers. For example, does the whole board have to vote on a contract or are you going to allow an executive committee to do some business?

That process helps outline the hiring process for the e.d. in that the nonprofit corporation and the individual enter into a contract when you hire that person.

Regards,

Ken Ristine

Our volunteer coordinator recently received the following message:

Hi,

I am looking to make a one time cash donation to support a non profit
charity or rescue group.

I would love to know more about your work and why you think this donation
would be beneficial to your work.

Regards,

John Hamilton.

---email above---

This just seemed a little suspicious to me, especially that period after
Hamilton - who would do that? So I took a look at the headers. (I've
included them at the end of this message for those who might be interested).
One hates to turn down any inquiry for donation, but this appears to be
someone trolling for mailable email addresses for nonprofits, probably for
"treasure-auction.com". I went to treasure-auction.com, but got a 403 error.
Did anyone else get this email? Your thoughts?

Helen,
I appreciate so much you taking the time to help me with this.  I would be honored to have a copy of your bylaws and the pdf of which you referred.  I have been reading all I can on this subject, but after awhile is seems to all melt togethe,r and it's hard to once again pull out just the area needed, one by one, to get things going, but still trying.  Nice to know someone else thought the experience was a bit painful and not all easy as they went through it.

Hi Pam,
As someone who went through the painful experience of trying to understand all these things while setting up a non profit I can tell you that it helps to read as much as possible on this issue.

By laws are generally pretty easy  to change as your organization develops.  You don't need to list all the job positions you expect to create in the by laws.
If the CEO, E.D., President of the organization is to be an officer of the corporation and have certain powers then you might want to consider putting that info in the Bylaws.

You may change who does the hiring from time to time. Your bylaws can state something general like administrative duties relative to the overall functioning of the organization may be delegated by the board to the CEO, ED, etc. 

or this ( see below) could be the verbiage re: committees in which case you might decide to have a committee that is given a certain task - like finding or screening the candidates but the general board makes the decision on the hiring of the ED or however you set it up.

the committee and it's creation can be decided at a general board meeting and documented in your minutes

3.20 Board Committees

3.20.1 Standing or Temporary Committees

The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors in

office, may designate and appoint one or more standing or temporary

committees, each of which shall consist of two or more Directors. Such

committees shall have and exercise the authority of the Directors in the

management of the corporation, subject to such limitations as may be

prescribed by the Board; except that no committee shall have the

authority to: (a) amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws; (b) elect, appoint or

remove any member of any other committee or any Director or officer of

the corporation; (c) amend the Articles of Incorporation; (d) adopt a plan

of merger or consolidation with another corporation; (e) authorize the

sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets

of the corporation not in the ordinary course of business; (f) authorize the

voluntary dissolution of the corporation or revoke proceedings therefore;

(g) adopt a plan for the distribution of the assets of the corporation; or

(h) amend, alter or repeal any resolution of the Board which by its terms

provides that it shall not be amended, altered or repealed by a committee.

The designation and appointment of any such committee and the

delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board or

any individual Director of any responsibility imposed upon it, him or her

by law.


If you want a good pdf file on "How to form a Non profit organization" I will be happy to send it to you.
It was put together for WA state incorporation so some of the info re: the Articles of Incorporation are specific to WA state but the By law info is general and should be applicable.

I also am willing to share our original bylaws with you. We have made a few changes along the way but if you think t wold be helpful, I am happy to share them with you.

I would also advise that you see about having a pro bono attorney look at the Bylaws or you so they give you what you want up front as much as possible. I live in an area that has a Non Profit Assistance Center and they periodically have legal clinics that are free for non profits in their service area. 
Hope that helps somewhat.
Contact me if I csn be of any help- NO charge! I am not a lawyer or consultant but I can offer my experience.

Sorry, guess my request was a bit convoluted, so here's another go at it.

The bylaws include how many directors are on the board and what they do and what officers are to be included and usually their duties.  Should anything be mentioned about how to hire or who's to hire the Executive Director?  Should anything be included on that job description?  Should the positions you are planning to hire (this is a new non-profit) to set-up at the beginning be listed, i.e. office manager, development coordinator, etc? 

Hope that helps,
Pam

Pam,

 

The answer is yes and no.

 

If you plan to make the executive director an ex-officio member of the board (which means a member by means of her/his position) then that should be outlined in the by-laws. Remember, ex-officio does not mean without voting powers….a member of the board is a member of the board.

 

If you plan on simply including the executive director in board meetings as a staff resource and a non-voting, non-board member, that does not have to be in the by-laws.

 

The by-laws need to make clear how the board is to enter into contracts and other legal obligations on behalf of the corporation. While some of this is inherent in the state's corporation laws, the by-laws can, and should, reference those powers. For example, does the whole board have to vote on a contract or are you going to allow an executive committee to do some business?

 

That process helps outline the hiring process for the e.d. in that the nonprofit corporation and the individual enter into a contract when you hire that person.

Hi Pam,
As someone who went through the painful experience of trying to understand all these things while setting up a non profit I can tell you that it helps to read as much as possible on this issue.

By laws are generally pretty easy  to change as your organization develops.  You don't need to list all the job positions you expect to create in the by laws.
If the CEO, E.D., President of the organization is to be an officer of the corporation and have certain powers then you might want to consider putting that info in the Bylaws.

You may change who does the hiring from time to time. Your bylaws can state something general like administrative duties relative to the overall functioning of the organization may be delegated by the board to the CEO, ED, etc. 

or this ( see below) could be the verbiage re: committees in which case you might decide to have a committee that is given a certain task - like finding or screening the candidates but the general board makes the decision on the hiring of the ED or however you set it up.

the committee and it's creation can be decided at a general board meeting and documented in your minutes

3.20 Board Committees

3.20.1 Standing or Temporary Committees

The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors in

office, may designate and appoint one or more standing or temporary

committees, each of which shall consist of two or more Directors. Such

committees shall have and exercise the authority of the Directors in the

management of the corporation, subject to such limitations as may be

prescribed by the Board; except that no committee shall have the

authority to: (a) amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws; (b) elect, appoint or

remove any member of any other committee or any Director or officer of

the corporation; (c) amend the Articles of Incorporation; (d) adopt a plan

of merger or consolidation with another corporation; (e) authorize the

sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets

of the corporation not in the ordinary course of business; (f) authorize the

voluntary dissolution of the corporation or revoke proceedings therefore;

(g) adopt a plan for the distribution of the assets of the corporation; or

(h) amend, alter or repeal any resolution of the Board which by its terms

provides that it shall not be amended, altered or repealed by a committee.

The designation and appointment of any such committee and the

delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board or

any individual Director of any responsibility imposed upon it, him or her

by law.


If you want a good pdf file on "How to form a Non profit organization" I will be happy to send it to you.
It was put together for WA state incorporation so some of the info re: the Articles of Incorporation are specific to WA state but the By law info is general and should be applicable.

I also am willing to share our original bylaws with you. We have made a few changes along the way but if you think t wold be helpful, I am happy to share them with you.

I would also advise that you see about having a pro bono attorney look at the Bylaws or you so they give you what you want up front as much as possible. I live in an area that has a Non Profit Assistance Center and they periodically have legal clinics that are free for non profits in their service area. 
Hope that helps somewhat.
Contact me if I csn be of any help- NO charge! I am not a lawyer or consultant but I can offer my experience.

Pam,

 

The answer is yes and no.

 

If you plan to make the executive director an ex-officio member of the board (which means a member by means of her/his position) then that should be outlined in the by-laws. Remember, ex-officio does not mean without voting powers….a member of the board is a member of the board.

 

If you plan on simply including the executive director in board meetings as a staff resource and a non-voting, non-board member, that does not have to be in the by-laws.

 

The by-laws need to make clear how the board is to enter into contracts and other legal obligations on behalf of the corporation. While some of this is inherent in the state's corporation laws, the by-laws can, and should, reference those powers. For example, does the whole board have to vote on a contract or are you going to allow an executive committee to do some business?

 

That process helps outline the hiring process for the e.d. in that the nonprofit corporation and the individual enter into a contract when you hire that person.

 

Regards,

BoardSource publishes an excellent booklet entitled "The Nonprofit Board's Guide to Bylaws: Creating a Framework for Effective Governance."  We have copies that circulate and I suspect that it may be available in other libraries.

Subject: [NonProfitNetworking] what all goes in the bylaws?

 

Sorry, guess my request was a bit convoluted, so here's another go at it.

The bylaws include how many directors are on the board and what they do and what officers are to be included and usually their duties.  Should anything be mentioned about how to hire or who's to hire the Executive Director?  Should anything be included on that job description?  Should the positions you are planning to hire (this is a new non-profit) to set-up at the beginning be listed, i.e. office manager, development coordinator, etc? 

Hope that helps,
Pam
