SIR and SIR Foundation maintain separate bylaws. The SIR Bylaws represent the official written rules for conduct for the organizations.

The SIR Bylaws are, in effect, a contract among members, and must be formally adopted and/or amended. SIR’s Bylaws provide the rules/information regarding offices, membership, meetings and vote of members, Board of Directors, officers, committees and councilors, amendments and miscellaneous items.
