This law describes how the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic is governed. A national convention holds supreme authority and can't let control concentrate in a small group. The constitution and bylaws set officer titles, terms, and duties.

(a) National Convention. (1) The national convention is the corporation's supreme governing authority. (2) The convention is made up of officers and elected representatives from the states and other local subdivisions, as the constitution and bylaws set out. However, the corporation's form of government must represent the membership at large — it cannot let control concentrate in a small number of members or in a self-perpetuating group that doesn't represent the membership at large. (3) National convention meetings can happen in the District of Columbia or in any state, territory, or possession of the United States. (b) Officers. The constitution and bylaws set the officers' titles, how they're chosen, their terms of office, and their duties.
