Governing Documents of PASA
The Constitution of the Public Administration Students Alliance (PASA) is the supreme governing document of the organization. It defines the foundational vision, mission, objectives, organizational structure, and governance principles of PASA. Serving as the ultimate legal and institutional framework, the Constitution ensures uniformity, transparency, accountability, and integrity across all levels of PASA—national, regional, and chapter-based.
It outlines the powers and responsibilities of the leadership bodies, rights and duties of members, and the rules for the formation, function, and dissolution of official structures. The Constitution is binding on all members and officers of PASA and serves as the cornerstone for decision-making, conflict resolution, and organizational continuity.
The Bylaws of PASA are the detailed operational rules and policies developed under the authority of the Constitution. They provide practical guidance on how the organization functions on a day-to-day basis and ensure the effective implementation of constitutional provisions.
Bylaws cover matters such as selection procedures, financial practices, disciplinary processes, and administrative operations. They offer the necessary flexibility to adapt to evolving organizational needs while maintaining consistency with PASA’s constitutional principles.
Together, the Constitution and Bylaws form a comprehensive governance system that enables PASA to operate efficiently, ethically, and inclusively across all its tiers and activities.
