Parliamentary Authority...easy question!

[Tomm]

When inserting the parliamentary authority into your bylaws as stated in 56:66 should the word "Society" be replaced with the actual name of the organization?

It can be if your organization wants it to read that way. Personally, I think you could also just use the description of your group that is part of its official name, e.g., the Society, the Club, the Organization, the Association, etc. Since your bylaws as a whole define your organization specifically, I don't think anyone will not know what group that article is referring to if the entire group name is not included.

Typically, the first article of the bylaws will contain something like:  The name of this organization shall be the National Snuffbox Association, hereinafter called "the Association".  

So that would be the natural word to use in place of Society

No, it should not be replaced with the full name of the organization, but it should be replaced with the appropriate word for that portion of the organization's name (ex. Association, Club, Corporation, etc.).
