Bylaws

The Bylaws Review Committee, chaired by Dean Fournier, met on Monday, March 5th, 2007. We presented our recommendations to the full Executive Board on March 6th, and a final draft of the proposed changes was approved. We will be considering these changes at the April General Meeting.

We also have a copy of the following:

• King County Democratic Central Committee Bylaws (.PDF)

Our Bylaws Committee is chaired by Dean Fournier.

Roberts Rules of Order

While they may seem arcane to some, Roberts Rules of Order are a critical tool for running a meeting. They allow an agenda to be followed smoothly, and ensure that decisions are made fairly. Here are some links to learn more:

• The official Roberts Rules website.
• A Quick Reference Guide on the most popular and useful motions during a meeting.
