OPMC BYLAWS REVISIONS
transparency, stewardship, and long-term sustainability
Why is OPMC revising its bylaws?
We started the journey as a 501(c)(3) in 2019, creating bylaws and establishing a board of directors — led by community members.
The organization and the community has grown and continues to improve itself.
January 2025 - OPMC undergoes a screening audit by the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) related to documentation, procedures, and best practices.
March 2025 - OPMC board training by an MLFA attorney
April 2025 - OPMC retains an attorney to bring the bylaws in compliance with federal and state regulations, and create policies and procedures in alignment with nonprofit best practices.
