Bylaws
Bylaws are the rules adopted by an organization for governing itself. The purpose of bylaws is to establish a basic structure for the organization and to guide its manner of operation. The bylaws contain those rules which the organization considers so important that they cannot be changed without approval by the general membership.
According to Roberts Rules of Order, "the provisions of the by-laws have direct bearing on the rights of members within the organization . . . A member should become familiar with the contents of these rules if he looks toward full participation in the [organization's] affairs." (RONR (10th ed.) p.14, l.25-26,32-34)
Whenever FASN considers a by-law change, the membership is notified. The actual voting to accept or decline the changes in the bylaws takes place at FASN's annual business meeting. The attached pdf contains the most current bylaws.
