Yes, as a federated organization, GSFRW has its own bylaws. These bylaws must comply with the guidelines set forth in the State and National bylaws. 

Please see the links below to view the bylaws for National, State, and Greater Salem organizations.

A federated organization is a type of organizational structure where multiple semi-autonomous member groups or units come together under a centralized authority, typically for coordination, support, and shared goals. In a federated model, individual member organizations maintain independence while benefiting from shared resources, knowledge, and a united voice. This structure allows for local adaptation and responsiveness while simultaneously harnessing the strength of collective action at a larger scale.

Critical characteristics of federated organizations include:

1. Shared Vision and Values: Member organizations align around common goals, principles, or beliefs.
2. Distributed Leadership: While a central authority exists, decision-making power is often distributed among member organizations, allowing for local control and flexibility.
3. Coordinated Efforts: Member organizations collaborate on initiatives and campaigns that benefit the collective whole while pursuing their own goals and objectives.

Federated organizations exist in various sectors, including non-profits, political parties, and professional associations. The federated model balances local autonomy and centralized coordination, making it attractive for organizations with diverse membership and geographic reach.
