Nysarc Columbia County Chapter

“Nysarc, inc. Is a unitary corporation consisting of its 39 chapters. Nysarc, inc., columbia county chapter, is one division of the corporation. The corporation and the 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 excercises 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 chapter's form 990 before they are filed. Each chapter submits a copy of its form 990 to the governing body when the form 990 is filed by the chapter. Each chapter must have a process for its board of directors to review the form 990. The columbia county chapter policy is as follows: a copy of the irs form 990 is distributed upon completion each year to all members of coarc's board of directors prior to filing with the internal revenue service. The completed form 990 is reviewed each year with the members of the audit committee at the first regularly scheduled monthly meeting subsequent to completion.”
