Parliamentary Authority what it is

(Name and Author) and should be stated in one sentence.

Amendments
This Article would contain the procedures for amendment on how to change

How do you change something already in the bylaws or
want to add something?
The change/s are called amendments. There are five ways in which to change.
They are known as to insert, strike, strike and insert, add, or substitute.

Insert To insert a word or words between other words.
Strike To take a specific word or words out.
Add To add word or words at the end of the sentence.

Substitute To substitute one entire paragraph for another. Used when normal amend-
ments would to be too cumbersome that it would be easier to make a new
paragraph.
A combination of the above can be used.

These are the proper words used in our Parliamentary Authority to amend a motion
and bylaws and it serves as a road map of what is proposed.

BPW’s Parliamentary Authority states that the format for informing the members of a
“proposed bylaws amendment” is to:
• present in writing the present wording of the bylaws sentence or paragraph as it
is currently written in the bylaws including the Article number, paragraph and
section number/letter;

• then indicate the proposed change with the named methods above; and
• then write the proposed bylaw sentence or paragraph as it would read if the pro-
posed change or changes were voted on as approved by the members.

Be sure to read the Article in the bylaws on Amendments to be certain the deadline is
adhered to for its submission.

Deadline: submit proposed changes to CF Bylaws to the Bylaws Chair (see below)

March 18, 2024.
