Current GANS Bylaws
The GANS Bylaws are our governing document — they define our purpose, membership, board structure, elections, and how the organization conducts business. We encourage members to review the bylaws before submitting a resolution or bylaw change, or running for office.
GANS Policies & Procedures
The GANS Policies & Procedures work hand-in-hand with our Bylaws — where the Bylaws set our structure and governance, the Policies & Procedures spell out how we operate day to day. They cover the standards, expectations, and processes that guide our board, chapters, and events, and keep GANS running consistently from one year to the next. Members, chapter leaders, and anyone stepping into a board role are encouraged to review them.
