Does your LLI...
1. Use only the bylaws of your host institution
2. Use only the bylaws of your LLI, or
3 Use both the host and the LLI bylaws?
From Martha Klee - Lifetime Learning Institute of N. Virginia, Annandale,
VA - marthahk@aol.com
Lifetime Learning Institute of Northern Virginia has its own bylaws, designed
and approved by board members and general membership. These bylaws provide
the basis for our operation. We are not governed by the rules and regulations
or laws of our host institution, which serves only as the sponsoring organization.
We are completely independent of the college's control.
From Dan Salmon - PEIR, Hofstra University New York -
PEIR has had Bylaws for decades. We are 24 years young and the bylaws serve
as a framework for our association. They are provided to all members who
rarely glance at them unless they have personal situations that would encourage
a skimming. Our operation is under the umbrella of the University College
for Continuing Education. Our Director is liaison to the University, but,
for the most part, we function independently. However, and this is the big
item, certain situations demand that we have access to and know what is
in the University rules and regulations. There is nothing in our Bylaws
that conflict with those of the University. Our Executive Council makes
"Policy" which are operating rules and regulations, perhaps less formal
than bylaws. Policy is what establishes the guidelines for the day-to-day
operation of our program.
From Lenora Plothow - Center for Lifelong Learning, Utah Valley State
College, Orem, UT - plothole@uvsc.edu
Our LLI is Utah Valley Elder Quest. Elder Quest has its own set of bylaws,
which we very painstakingly developed as a part of our developmental process.
They are independent, and are not controlled, changed, or impacted by the
College. However, we would never have anything in the bylaws that would
conflict with College policies and procedures. I oversee and provide the
College link to Elder Quest, but they operate pretty independently. I have
a part-time staff person who is a receptionist and he provides secretarial
assistance to Elder Quest. However he is not paid from their account. We
do not use the institution’s bylaws.
From Rich Diemer - Lifelong Learning Institute, Washington U., St Louis
- rdiemer@artsci.wustl.edu
We use only the bylaws of our LLI.
From Bruce Murphy - Academy for Lifelong Learning at Cape Cod Community
College, MA - maertens@email.msn.com
We use the LLI bylaws exclusively.
From Art Sherman & Norm Avnet - Berkshire Institute for Lifetime Learning,
Pittsfield, MA - gdmads@aol.com
The BILL uses our own bylaws. We are a stand-alone, 501(c)(3) tax exempt
operation.
From Egon Berger, Round Table at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY - eneuberger@notes.cc.sunysb.edu
The Round Table at Stony Brook uses only its own bylaws, which were revised
recently.
From Bob Schwaegler, Society for Learning Unlimited, Beliot College,
Beloit WI - beloitslu@aol.com
We follow all the rules and regulations the college sets for the "traditional"
student, especially in the realm of risk management. Beloit College views
our organization as a "town-gown" organization joined at the hip through
the Development and Alumni office. We report to the Academic Dean's office.
Our bylaws give us complete autonomy. The college is assisting our program
by providing office space equipped with computer and office equipment, telephone
and mail service, custodian of the 800-name mailing list, allows occupancy
of classrooms when scheduled in advance and includes us in appropriate pubic
affairs announcements. Their support is greatly appreciated.
From Willidean Green - SPARK, U of MO-Kansas City - willidean@worldnet.att.net
We use our LLI bylaws only.
From Michaela French - UCALL, Union College, Schenectady, NY - frenchm@union.edu
UCALL uses only the bylaws of our LLI. We do recognize and consider if they
are consistent with Union's bylaws but each have different needs.
From Kay Wagoner - ALL, Ball State U, Muncie, IN - kpwagoner@aol.com
We use only the bylaws of our organization.
From Ruth Flexman - ALL, U of Delaware - flexman@udel.edu
At the Academy of Lifelong Learning, University of Delaware, we have bylaws,
which are developed and amended by our Academy Council. As part of the Division
of Continuing Ed, we also come under all University governance documents.
From Nancy Sykes - LLI, Albertus Magnus College, New Haven, CT - rcsykes@snet.net
Our bylaws are drawn up by a bylaw committee and voted on by the general
membership of LLI. They have nothing to do with Albertus Magnus College.
From Miriam Daulke - New Frontiers for Learning in Retirement, Mesa CC,
Mesa, AZ - mimalex@aol.com
We use only the bylaws of our LLI.
From Norm Bennett - Institute for Continuing Learning, Young Harris College,
GA - critter3@whitelion.net
The college does not have bylaws that I know of; if it does, it has never
shared them with us. Our LLI has its own bylaws, which we developed on our
own without input from the college other than the single college representative
who sits on our board and has one of the twenty votes.
From Bob Neil - Montreat College LLI, Montreat, NC - bneil@montreat.edu
McCALL has its own bylaws by which we operate; however, we do work closely
with Montreat College. We have an official "Letter of Understanding & Agreement,"
signed by the college president and president of McCALL.
From Evelyn Chasen - Columbia-Greene CC LLI, Hudson, NY - alicgcc@yahoo.com
The Columbia-Greene Community College LLI, Hudson, NY use our bylaws only.
From Dick Vernon - Baldwin-Wallace College LLI, Berea, OH - rvernon@worldnet.att.net
Our LLI uses bylaws, which we developed independently with the aid of samples
provided by EIN HQ; the college has no bylaws, which would be appropriate
for our LLI. Our LLI is essentially an independent organization within the
overall college structure and they give us almost complete freedom to do
as we choose. At one time our LLI wanted to approach local organizations
and foundations for grants and the college asked us not to because they
thought we would be competing for a limited amount of available funding.
From Merle Allshouse - ASPEC LLI, Eckerd College, St. Petersburg, FL - allshomf@eckerd.edu
Our bylaws are approved by the College's Board of Trustees. You can view
and download a copy of these bylaws at http://www.eckerd.edu/bylaws.html
From Rose Arthur - RISE, Rivier College, Nashua, NH - rarthur@rivier.edu
The RISE program is bound by the bylaws of Rivier College, but our members
have never seen them. RISE has its own bylaws and has had them since the
first year. So far there has been one revision.
From Ann Burdett - Mohawk Valley LLI, SUNY, Utica, NY - burdeta@sunyit.edu
re: bylaws. We drew up and adopted our own when we first started. re: Memorandum
of Agreement: we created one and signed it with the university when we first
started. We believe these formalities are essential to the development of
our organization. Our Board's function is to establish policy and that also
is essential.
From Marge Wyngaarden - Bergen CC LLI, Paramus, NJ - margewyng@juno.com
Bergen Community Collge in NJ uses their LLI bylaws, which I wrote.
NJ State Statutes require advisory committees for each program area at the
community colleges. Therefore the bylaws are for the Advisory Committee
and not the membership of the LLI. I teach bylaws and am willing to send
a mnemonic bylaw format, which I hand out at my classes. It is a generic
model I prepared based on Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised and can
be used by all types of organizations
