Bylaws, CMOP, COH and Other Chapter Guidelines

ByLaws, CMOP and COH

  • ByLaws
    • Chapter ByLaws January 1, 2023. This is based entirely on the State 1/1/2023 final template and includes the allowed and approved chapter changes for Document Title, 24 month terms for Officers and Board Members, and inclusion of the Addendum for 501 (c) (3) Chapters.
  • Chapter Management and Operating Protocols (CMOP)
    • CMOP-January 1, 2023. This is based entirely on the State 1/1/2023 final template. It is not modifiable by chapters.
  • Chapter Operating Handbook (COH)
    • Final Jan 1 2023 version.  Our December 9th chapter approved final version for 2023. And for understanding the changes made from the State template, this version has edit colors .  This document includes all changes approved, with red text indicating State suggested text/guidelines that are deleted, and blue text being our additions. All black text is “as is” from the State template. This is the only state provided document that is intended to be customized to each chapter’s preferences.  This updated COH also references other documents:
      • Communications Overview and Infrastructure document to be reviewed by board and the chapter along with the new COH.
      •  It also references the state Chapter Data Retention Policy template 2023.  As reviewed at Dec 5 board review meeting: El Camino Real Chapter retention practices
      • And our own Guidelines for conducting the annual audit
    • Other State TMN templates and guidelines  These templates will be reviewed for update by State TMN in November of each year going forward, and also can be found on TXMN Documents. Latest versions copied here:
      • Process-for-Disciplining-or-Removing-Members-2021-Nov
