By Laws
The TBoI By Laws define the governing and operational rules of the organization under which the Board of Directors must operate on behalf of the members. They include operating requirements, such as when and how often the board meets, when the annual membership meeting is held, the term of office for board members, committee details, and other governance matters.
Amendments to the TBoI By Laws require a vote by the TBoI Board and a vote by the membership.
