Guild Organization

Our By Laws

Like the pattern of a well-crafted quilt, our Guild is held together by a strong foundation of shared guidelines, responsibilities, and traditions. Our Bylaws provide the framework that helps Magnolia Quilt Guild remain organized, welcoming, and true to its purpose of preserving the art and history of quilting.

Our bylaws outline the essential pieces of Guild life, including:

Membership — Who can join, membership responsibilities, dues, and the privileges of being part of our Guild.
Leadership — The roles and responsibilities of our officers and Board of Directors, along with terms of office and elections.
Meetings — When we gather, how Guild business is conducted, and requirements for making decisions.
Committees — The teams that help bring our Guild to life through Membership, Hospitality, Programs & Events, Community Projects, and Social Media & Technology.
Elections & Nominations — How Guild leaders are nominated and elected, ensuring members have a voice in our leadership.
Amendments — How members can propose and vote on changes to the bylaws as our Guild grows and evolves.
Dissolution — Guidelines for responsibly handling Guild assets should the organization ever cease to operate.

Our bylaws give us the structure we need while leaving plenty of room for the creativity, friendship, learning, and community that make Magnolia Quilt Guild special. They are the framework of our quilt—helping each unique piece come together to create something strong, beautiful, and lasting.
