Bylaws focused on PC/PB membership help PC/PBs to run smoothly, by spelling out expectations of members, and providing guidance for recruiting, engaging, and maintaining a diverse and active membership that meets planning needs and legislative requirements.
This resource covers key membership issues that should be addressed in PC/PB bylaws, including the open nominations process, number of members, reflectiveness, term limits, committee participation, attendance requirements, and more. For each of these membership issues, the resource describes sound practices that can be codified in bylaws, and highlights example bylaws provisions from at least two PC/PBs.
