Louise Posted August 5, 2021 at 03:52 AM Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 at 03:52 AM I'm reviewing an organization's bylaws, and they have four rather lengthy sections related to the indemnification of directors (e.g., the organization will save the director harmless if they've acted in good faith, etc. etc.). A single sentence in one of these sections is almost 350 words long. I have never encountered this in bylaws before, and it just seems really out of place to me. I'm sure there's some history behind these sections that I'm not currently aware of, but I'm leaning towards recommending that they be removed. Has anyone else encountered this type of content in bylaws before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
