Caucus Bylaws
(APPROVED BY MEMBER VOTE ON March 26, 2023)

Key governance topics covered in the bylaws include:

  • Membership eligibility and the rights of caucus members at conventions and meetings

  • Officer positions, regional vice-chair representation, and election cycles

  • Quorum requirements, voting thresholds, and how endorsements and resolutions are adopted

  • Committee structure, meeting notice rules, and amendments to caucus policy
