NHAAO Governing Documents

Bylaws are the important rules that enable an organization to operate in an orderly manner. They are less rigid than constitutional provisions but more rigid than procedural rules. Bylaws cannot be waived, suspended, or ignored.

Procedural Rules are the detailed guidelines for carrying out a specific procedure, policy, or program of the NHAAO. These rules are promulgated and maintained by the Board of Directors. They are the rules that are to be followed by subordinate groups designated by the Board as the group having the responsibility for implementing and continuing a policy or program of the Association. The Procedural Rules also follow the basic structure and format of the NHAAO Bylaws.

As a matter of fundamental principle, NHAAO members should adhere to the highest ethical standards. Public trust in our performance is the foundation of our credibility. Municipalities and assessment professionals support NHAAO because they trust us to be good stewards of their resources, to uphold rigorous standards of conduct and to serve as a catalyst for excellence in the assessment profession.
