Although RONR doesn't give a fleshed out version of what would go in the object/preamble you can find a fleshed out version of sample bylaws in Parliamentary Law written by Henry M. Robert (the original author of Robert's Rules) in 1923 located on pages 392-398. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
