The name of the association shall be the Southern California Technical Processes Group (SCTPG).
The object of SCTPG shall be to provide opportunities for networking, interchange of ideas, and continuing education in all aspects of library technical services processes, including but not limited to: acquisition, identification, cataloging, classification, and preservation of library materials in all types of institutions. We will carry out this objective through workshops, programs, meetings, and other forms of communication.
All persons interested in the objectives of SCTPG may become members upon payment of dues. The amount of dues will be determined by the Executive Committee and approved by a two-thirds vote of the membership. The annual dues are paid on a fiscal year basis beginning July 1st and ending June 30th. The annual dues become due on July 1.
The Officers shall consist of three elected officers: President, Vice-President/President-elect, and Secretary/Treasurer. The term of office for the President and Vice-President/President-elect shall be one year. The term of office for the Secretary/Treasurer shall be two years.
Should one of the elected officers be unable to complete his/her term of office, the President shall appoint a replacement to fill the office for the remainder of the term. In the case of an appointed Vice-President/President-elect, that person shall not automatically become President the following year, but shall stand for election as President at the next annual election.
The President shall appoint three positions: Program Chair, Membership Chair, and Web Chair. There is no set term of office for the appointed positions. The President, Vice-President/President-elect, Secretary/Treasurer, the immediate Past President, Program Chair, Membership Chair, and the Web Chair shall constitute an Executive Committee with power to act for SCTPG as a whole.

SCTPG shall affiliate with the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services of the American Library Association (ALCTS).

If the President is not able to attend an ALCTS CRG meeting, he or she may appoint an SCTPG member to attend in his or her place.
