Bylaws and policies
How Columbia Gadget Works is run, and how the rules change.
Draft. These documents are proposed and have not yet been adopted by the members.
Columbia Gadget Works is a member-run nonprofit. The bylaws set out members’ rights, how the board is elected, and how votes work; only the members can change them. The policies cover day-to-day matters like dues, safety, zones, and money; the board adopts them after members have had a week to comment.
The official text lives in a public repository on GitHub, and these pages are built straight from it, so what you read here is always the current text. Any member can propose a change there; How we decide explains how.
