The superior body's governing documents need to be studied to determine if they require subordinate units to comply in this or other areas. "If the unit for which the bylaws are to be drawn up is subject to a parent organization or superior body, such as a state or a national society (or both), or a federation, the bylaws governing at these higher levels should be studied for provisions which are binding upon subordinate units in a way that must be taken into account. The bylaws of a subordinate unit need to conform to those of a superior body only on clearly requisite points. For example, if the superior body limits the size of its subordinate units to 200 members, the bylaws should contain this limit or one that is lower. But the subordinate unit should not adopt provisions from the other document that have no local application, and the bylaws of the superior body should not require it to do so" RONR (11th ed.), pp. 567-568 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't go to the fourth grade? That's where I learned most of what I know now. But it may be different for you in Michigan.
