SOUTH CAROLINA CHAPTER: Committing to DEIAB in Chapter Bylaws
SOUTH CAROLINA CHAPTER: Committing to DEIAB in Chapter Bylaws
Content
SUMMARY: The South Carolina Chapter revised chapter bylaws to recognize the chapter’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging (DEIAB) and modernize and improve overall chapter governance. The board established a Bylaws Committee, made up of board members, past presidents, and chapter members from diverse backgrounds, to review the chapter’s existing bylaws. In addition to addressing outdated clauses, grammatical errors, and inconsistencies, the committee drafted a DEIAB statement to formally recognize the chapter’s commitment to inclusivity and equity throughout chapter operations. This effort not only brought the bylaws up to industry standards and created a process for future bylaw reviews, but also set the foundation for a more inclusive and well-governed chapter.
