Can a by-law be put in place for a non-profit society that states: "Every Member may vote at any Members' meeting of the Society after they have attended at least one previous Members' meeting."? The Board of Directors claimed this is in Robert's Rules of Order, I cannot find it.

The bylaws can say whatever the members want them to say but you won't find that particular bylaw in RONR.

And that's a pretty poorly-worded bylaw so you might want to vote "no".

The relevant rule is RONR, 10th ed., pg. 10, lines 11-20.
