Guideline for Constituent and Component Bylaws

These guidelines are of considerable value to constituents or components when they revise and update their bylaws. Although state law takes precedence over these guidelines, it is important that ADHA constituents not be in conflict with the bylaws of the parent organization. Therefore, these guidelines have been developed to ensure that constituents and components are in compliance with the bylaws of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association.
