Nysarc Inc - Suffolk Chapter

“Nysarc, inc. Is a unitary corporation consisting of its 37 chapters. Nysarc, inc. Suffolk chapter is one division of the corporation. The corporation and chapter's governing body is the board of governors representing the individual membership in each chapter's jurisdiction. Each chapter has one primary and one alternate governor with a weighted vote based on membership. The corporation through its bylaws delegates day-to-day operating authority to the chapter's board of directors. The executive committee of the board of governors (see part vi, line 7a below) comprises the corporation's elected officers and exercises all powers of the board of governors between plenary meetings of the governors.”

“The organization's members elect the officers and directors of the chapter annually. In turn, those chapter board members nominate the officers and directors of the corporation.”

“The board of governors does not review chapters' form 990s before they are filed. Each chapter submits a copy of its form 990 to the governing body when the chapter files it. Each chapter must have a process for its board of directors to review the form 990. The suffolk chapter's process is as follows: the form 990 is reviewed in detail by the assistant controller. The cfo performs a follow-up review. A copy of the form 990 is presented to the board prior to filing with the irs.”

“The conflict of interest policy covers all board members, officers and directors. Each board member, director and officer completes a questionnaire on an annual basis. Anyone with a possible conflict of interest will promptly notify the president of the board. The board president, after receiving information about a possbile conflict of interest, will take such action as is necessary to assure the transaction is completed in the best interest of the corporation without the substantive involvement of the person who has the possible conflict of interest. Any corporate business transaction which involves a possible conflict of interest with a board member, officer or director will have terms which are at least as fair and reasonable to the corporation as if it were dealing with an unrelated party. A written record of any report of possible conflict of interest and of any adjustments made to avoid possible conflicts of interest will be maintained in the board minutes.”

“There is a compensation committee and then the salaries are voted on by the full board. The ceo is hired on a contract basis. As each contract is renewed, the board uses historical salary, comparative salaries at other similar agencies are used to make sure the ceo's compensation is within fair market value for the agency, and job performance as the primary tools for determining compensation. The board documents compensation discussions/decisions in the board minutes.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statements are available upon request.”
