No but it's just nice tohave as it gives the "mission" of your group clarity.

I would honestly look in the pto today archives for inspiration and help.

We are going through some updating and changes ourself and it's a great refrence to have! Just click on PTO archives and your subject is by-laws.

Just curious - is it correct to assume that a mission statement is always part of the bylaws?

We are in the process of forming a mission statement and bylaws. So instead of reinventing the wheel we would like to see some samples. Thanks. Can anyone help [img]smile.gif[/img] us?
