Bylaws are the foundation of our NC HIMSS chapter governance. They outline how we make decisions, elect board members, hold meetings, and stay accountable to our mission. Clear bylaws ensure transparency, protect the integrity of our work, and provide a roadmap for responsible leadership. They help us operate with consistency and fairness—building trust with our community, sponsors, and members.
