RulesBuddy

Your All-In-One VFW Governance & Bylaws Toolkit

RulesBuddy | Department of Washington VFW

Department of Washington RulesBuddy supports VFW leaders with tools for bylaws, resolutions, and Article IX work.

RulesBuddy for VFW officers

A focused workspace for VFW members who handle bylaws, resolutions, discipline, and meeting questions. Built to feel familiar, clear, and ready for real work.

  • ✓ Search VFW, Auxiliary, Department, MOC, and Robert’s rules by keyword.
  • ✓ Use guided formatters for resolutions, amendments, and disciplinary actions.
  • ✓ Keep everything in one place so officers spend less time hunting for forms.

What you can do with RulesBuddy

These tools focus on real paperwork and questions that officers face all year: resolutions, amendments, discipline, and rule lookup.

Resolution Formatter

Write resolutions that move instead of stall

The Resolution Formatter walks you through each part of a VFW resolution. It keeps the structure clean and helps you think through where the resolution starts and where it needs to go.

  • Format "whereas” and "resolved” sections with clear prompts.
  • Keep origin, routing, and endorsements in the right place.
  • Export your work so it is ready for local or Department review.

Amendment Formatter

Amend bylaws and procedures without losing the thread

The Amendment Formatter gives officers a clear path for changing bylaws, manuals, or procedures. It helps keep references, language, and structure consistent with VFW expectations.

  • Identify the exact section you are changing and how.
  • Use "strike,” "insert,” and "substitute” actions consistently.
  • Produce clean text that is easier to read at meetings and conventions.
Disciplinary Action Assistant

Keep Article IX work documented and organized

The Disciplinary Action Assistant helps you track the paperwork, deadlines, and steps that go with an Article IX matter. It is designed to support fairness, clarity, and complete records.

  • Capture incident details, dates, and attachments in one view.
  • Connect actions to the correct forms and expected next steps.
  • Support both local and Department-level work on cases.
