Why don't you post the entire situation one place with all the facts - ?

It would make it much easier to answer.

The board of directors, or the incorporators at the time the non-profit corporation was organized, would have adopted the by-laws. The board of directors would have to adopt any amendment(s) to the by-laws.

Probably (assuming nothing in the by-laws is to the contrary), but depends upon the corporations act for the state in which the organization was organized.
