Talk:Standing Rules/@comment-26361426-20150609190530

Constitution, By-Laws, Rules, Standing Rules, Orders of Operations and Procedures are all words used by organizations, clubs and societies. It is my understanding that By-laws or Constitutions include all the rules that are of such importance that they cannot be changed in any way without previous notice.

Rules or Order, Standing Rules etc. contain the rules relating to the orderly transaction of business in the meetings and to the duties of the officers. These sets of rules contain the rules that have been adopted by vote at any business meeting.

Printed in the directory? I am probably incorrect but Judy, I thought the printing of the By-Laws in the directory only occurred recently? Just curious.

Children will not be allowed at meetings. [thank you!] this seems like meeting etiquette and helps members plan to leave their angelic children with other care givers. Could be moved to Article II meetings creating a Section 3.

Charity work--don't think this is needed Outside speakers selling merchandise--covered in programs Mailing list--this could be moved to Article III membership in a new section Fiscal Year and procedures for an audit--year could go under membership. The information regarding the audit could be moved to a document of all the businessy information including duties of the officers Expenditures--move to information document

Liz made a great point about information being available to all. If the RULES are going to exist in a document for all maybe they could be posted in the members only section. The current document was a result of work that Judy Liebo, Marilyn Henderson and I did combing through previous minutes. I would volunteer to go through all the board minutes again and help with this after my term as finance officer. Vickie
