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.
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.
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.
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.
