What is your nonprofit's purpose?

What services, products and/or programs will your nonprofit offer?
Will the nonprofit's directors be allowed to also serve as officers?
*
Federal law requires the office positions of president, secretary and treasurer.

Not sure / undecided / we need some guidance
Do you want there to be committees?
*
Yes, we will have committes and the board
No committees, just the board
How many years is each elected board member's term?
*
What are the limits to the amount of terms a board member can serve?
e.g. Two years, with term limits of three consecutive terms (making it a total of six terms); after a year off, a board member may be permitted to return. Similarly, terms can be staggered so that, for instance, one-third of the board is up for reelection each year.
Should board terms be staggered so that not everyone leaves at once and a new board needs to be voted in?
*
Yes, staggered
No, entire board could turn over at once

How often will your board meet? Is there a minimum number of board meetings per year?

Are there additional processes that you'd like to include here?
Are there any core values you'd like to include in your bylaws? What else comes to mind when you think about how your organizations is unique?
