I'm on the board of a small non-profit for a sports team that my children are involved in. The by-laws are in some serious need of being amended (they were last amended in 1980) and I'm looking for some resources on the best way we go about doing that. Some of the board thinks you can just write down whatever you want and that's the new by-laws. They don't understand that we have to follow the current by-laws until the new ones are in place and voted in based on the requirements of the current by-laws, etc. One board member has even convinced other board members that they deserve to not pay the fee because they are on the board and it should be their "payment" for volunteering to be on the board. It's a hot mess to say the least and I need help and resources to show what's right vs wrong and legal vs illegal so that we can get the by-laws where they need to be and make sure the board is doing what's best for the association and not what's best for the board members.
