By-laws 1954-1979

Scope and Content

This series contains the Agency's by-laws from the 1950s through the 1970s. There are numerous drafts of by-law amendments with hand-written notes on the margins of the drafts or on memos attached to the drafts. It seems this folder was created in preparation for the 1978 split between the National Council of Jewish Women and the Agency soon to be renamed El Nido Services, since it also contains legal documents pertaining to the official name change from the "Council of Jewish Women" to "El Nido Services." (See also Series 5 for more Name Changes Documents.)
