Because conventional methods argue that there should always be an article in the bylaws that states the organization’s name, chances are that your bylaws document includes an article that reads, “The name of this organization is . . . ” There is no requirement that states that your bylaws must include an article naming the staff. Therefore, you could opt to place the name only on the cover sheet of the bylaws. Using two sentences to restate the organization’s name is a waste of time and space, and adds to the complexity of the document. Do away with it and you are on your way to more streamlined bylaws.
This week's tip is an excerpt from The Greeley Guide to Medical Staff Bylaws, Second Edition, by Joseph D. Cooper, MD.
