PAPNM Governing Document System
This document describes the formal structure to operationalize the organization.
The Governance Director implements and maintains this plan to oversee the life-cycle management of the governing document system, including coordinating the writing, review, update, inactivation, and approval of governing documents.
Bylaws
A bylaw provides the overall framework to govern the affairs of our organization. It does not deal with the day-to-day operations. Once bylaws are in place, policies and procedures can be developed.
