Maintain and reevaluate the bylaws annually, and ad hoc as required by special circumstances. Assure the bylaws mature with the society. Evaluate and maintain the SOP templates for SABI committees, minimally every three years. Evaluate all committees SOP changes prior to board review for adherence to the bylaws. Once committees complete the SOP, this committee would be the first to review prior to the Board. Upon review, the bylaws committee may communicate any suggested changes with the relevant committee chair. The bylaws committee would then make suggestions/recommendations regarding the document to the board. (NOTE: Any committee that requests changes to the individual SOP, must use track changes to make it easier for review.) Evaluate all the committee SOPs approximately every three years. Approximately one third of the committee SOP's will be reviewed each year for adherence to the current bylaws.
