AGD Headquarters requests that all constituents who have not submitted their constituent and/or component bylaws within the last three years review their bylaws, align them with the AGD Model Bylaws and forward a signed copy to the CST by Aug. 31, 2018. 

We realize that you may want to include some additional sections that are specific to your particular constituent or component; however, please be sure to keep the essence of the model document intact in order to stay in compliance with the AGD Bylaws. This step is particularly important because the AGD Bylaws are the parent documents — in other words, if there was a conflict of procedure or policy between the two documents, the item outlined in the AGD Bylaws would supersede your constituent and/or component bylaws.

To obtain a copy of the latest bylaws on file for your constituent and/or component, please contact CST at constituentservices@agd.org. To ensure your bylaws are in compliance with AGD Bylaws, please review the following links:

• Model Constituent Bylaws 
• Model Component Bylaws 

AGD Headquarters understands that these updates require a significant amount of time, so if you need an extension or have any questions, contact CST at 888.243.7392 or constituentservices@agd.org.
