Provisions for initiation fees, if any, dues and assessments should be covered here; also details regarding delinquencies. Time and method of electing officers and duties of the officers. Duties, authority, and responsibility of an executive committee. The names of the standing committees and the method of choosing chairpersons and committee members. The duties of the committees should also be stated. A provision for some accepted rules of order or parliamentary manual as Rules of “Robert’s Order.” The number or proportion of the group constituting quorum. A method to the bylaws, usually by a majority vote. The constitution should always display the date it was last revised.
