Welcome to Bylaws EZ!
All units and councils must have PTA bylaws under which they operate.
The bylaws must be updated every 3 years to keep your unit or council in
good standing with the State and National PTA. Bylaws are the backbone
of your organization. You are encouraged to use the new
Bylaws EZ process as it is more efficient, user friendly and takes
less than 15 minutes to complete.
You will only need to send in the completed Bylaws Cover page, signed by
the President and Secretary and dated with the Membership Adoption date.
The bylaws are sent electronically to your Region Bylaws Chair (RBC) who
will review them and forward them electronically to the NYS PTA Bylaws
Coordinator for approval. Once approved, you will receive 2 hard copies
of your bylaws along with an electronic copy in pdf format. This will
enable you to share the approved bylaws with your board members.
You will still need to have your bylaws approved by your membership,
giving them the required 30 days’ notice of the vote. You will be able
to print a copy of the bylaws in process once you have completed the
online Bylaws EZ process and
then discard them when you receive your NYS PTA approved bylaws.
We encourage you to have written Procedures where the executive
committee and executive board roles can be described in more detail than
in your bylaws. Please review the Sample Procedures posted on our
website that allow you to customize them to fit the needs of your unit
or council.
Please download the Instructions below and read them carefully before
going to the EZ website and inputting your bylaws.
We are very exited to offer the
Bylaws EZ process to you. We want you to go through the process to
ensure that your bylaws meet the needs of your unit or council but in a
manner that is effective as well as efficient.
