Section 1. Levels of Organization
MESJ is organized at two levels: local (referring to individual chapters) and global (referring to the organization as a whole). At the local level, each chapter is governed by local membership meetings. At the global level, MESJ is governed by MESJ conferences and a Steering Committee.

Section 2. Use of the Organization's Name
The name "Mormons for Equality and Social Justice," or "MESJ," should be used only in connection with activities authorized at the global level (i.e., by a MESJ conference or the Steering Committee). When a local chapter sponsors an activity, it should specify that the activity is sponsored by that chapter (not by MESJ as a whole). Similarly, MESJ members who speak or participate in activities authorized by a local chapter, rather than at the global level, should identify themselves as members of that local chapter.

Section 3. Consensus Decision Making
Decision making in MESJ, at both the local and global levels, is by consensus. Local chapters are empowered to decide for themselves exactly how consensus decision making will be conducted at the local level.
