Governing Documents

The constitution is a very brief overview of the composition of the Engineering Society. It defines its purpose, responsibilities, goals, and membership and can only be changed at the Annual or General Meeting. The By-Law manual of the society outlines the basic organization, scope and role of the Engineering Society, i.e., its rules, positions, and responsibilities. By-Law is intended to be somewhat permanent, requiring two readings at consecutive councils that pass, by majority vote, both times. At AGM, there only needs to be a single reading and vote. The Policy Manual outlines procedures and supported activities. For example, the direct execution of the contents in By-Law. Policy is intended to change regularly, requiring only one reading at Council, which needs to be passed via a majority vote.
