Bylaws

According to the Pike’s Peak Library District, bylaws are “the rules that govern the internal management of the organization and should be written by the organization’s founders and/or directors, with legal council” (2026).

Although not filed with the Colorado Secretary of State, bylaws are required by the IRS when applying for 501(c)(3) status. Bylaws typically include:

Amendment processes
Board structure
Conflicts of interest statement
Dissolution clause
Officer roles
Meeting procedures

These rules provide a framework for accountability, governance, and transparency within an organization.
