Southeastern Branch has initiated the development of its own By-Laws within the framework of the NBGS Constitution. Branch members are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the first four By-Laws, which were adopted by the Branch membership on September 17, 2005. Branch members are also encouraged to assist the By-Law Committee by offering suggestions for the six remaining By-Laws still in under development.
