AFCPE Bylaws: What’s New?
The AFCPE Governance Committee with the support of outside consultants, legal counsel, and accreditors, has drafted new bylaws for AFCPE. On February 11, we will share a summary of the process and changes, answer member questions, and then vote to adopt the new bylaws.
All AFCPE Members who attend the business meeting will have the opportunity to vote.
What are bylaws?
Bylaws are the internal rules that govern how an organization will operate. They establish an organization’s purpose and how it will function.
Updating the AFCPE bylaws is part of our governance work to ensure a strong foundation for the future of our organization.
Our main goals:
- Streamline language to provide clarity
- Ensure compliance with our accreditors and our nonprofit status
