“Nysarc, inc.is a unitary corporporation consisting of its 55 chapters. Nysarc, inc., schenectady county 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 from 1 to 6 governors based on membership. The corporation through article vi section 3 of its bylaws delgates 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 delegate assembly, which represents nysarc's 100,000 members, elects the corporation president, secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer to 1-year terms. Delegates elect regional vice presidents to 1-year terms from their respective regions. The board of governors elects one vice-president, senior vice president. The schenectady chapter election procedure is as follows: at least 60 days prior to the annual meeting of the chapter, the chair of the nominating committee delivers the slate of nominees for officers, directors and nominating committee, along with their respective written acceptance of nomination the chapter secretary. At least 45 days prior to the annual meeting, the secretary notifies the chapter members by mail of the nominations. The election of the officers, directors and nominating committee takes place at the annual meeting each year. Voting is done in person or absentee ballot. No nominations may be made from the floor. Elected officers, directors and nominating committee are installed at the annual meeting or at such time that the board deems appropriate but on or before the effective date of their assumption of office. Terms of office for board officers and directors begins on july 1 and expires on june 30 of the appropriate year”

“Chapter bylaw amendments are subject to board of governor approval. Any action of the board of governors may be reviewed at the succeeding delegate assembly. No action of the governors that affects the irrevocable rights of third parties may be rescinded. Corporate bylaw amendments are subject to approval by a majority of chapters.”

“The board of governors does not review the chapters' form 990 before they are filed. Each chapter submites a copy of its form 990 to the governing body when the chapter is filed. Each chapter must have a process for its board of directors to review the form 990. The schenectady county chapter's process is as follows: the completed form 990 is provided to the full board before it is submitted to the irs. In addition, the completed form 990 is provided to the finance committee for its review prior to being signed by the president of the organization. After the form 990 has been reviewed by the finance committee, it is distributed to the full board. Distribution to the full board may be by e-mail or any other means that enables access to the full document.”

“The conflict of interest policy and disclosure statement for board members, senior managers and key employees is prepared and signed by all board members and employees subject to this policy on or before the end of each calendar year and is reviewed by the executive director and by the president of the board of directors. Any conflicts identified in the disclosure form that are not resolved or addressed to the satisfaction of the president or the executive director are brought to the executive committee of the board of directors. A copy of the signed form is kept in the personnel file of each affected employee and board member.”

“The compensation and performance of the executive director is reviewed annually. The board president convenes a meeting of the full board, or (at his or her discretion) of the executive committee of the board, in executive session to review the performance of the executive director over the past year and to set goals and objectives for the executive director for the coming year. At this same meeting, the board, or the executive committee of the board, reviews the current compensation and benefit package for the executive director. If the review is performed by the executive committee of the board of directors, it will make a recommendation to the board of directors, at an executive session of the next regular meeting of the board, with respect to the performance review to be presented to the executive director and the compensation and benefits for the next year. In either case, the performance review and compensation and benefit package is set by a majority vote of a quorum of the full board of directors.”

“A high level financial picture is provided in the agency annual report, which is available to the public. Additionally, the agencys form 990 is available at www.guidestar.org.”

“The committee that assumes responsibility for oversight for the audit, review etc. Did not change from prior year.”
