Steuben County Chapter Nysarc Inc

“The organization recently approved changes to its by-laws resulting in a reduction in the size of its board. Prior to this change, each chapter was entitled to between 1 and 6 seats on the board of governors based on that chapter's membership resulting in a board of approximately 150 members. The new structure caps the size of the board at one for each chapter, who now receive a weighted vote of between 1 and 10 based on a published chart of the number of members.”

“Nysarc, inc. Is a unitary corporation consisting of its 52 chapters. Nysarc, inc. Steuben 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 one primary and one alternative governor with a weighted vote based on membership. The corporation through its bylaws delegates day-to-day operating authority to the chapters 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 the chapters form 990s before they are filed. Each chapter submits a copy of its form 990 to the board of governors when the form 990 is filed by the chapter. Each chapter must have a process for its board of directors to review the chapter's 990. The steuben county chapter's process is as follows: the organization provided a copy of the 990 to the finance committee, which reviewed a draft and approved the final changes, if any were made. Form 990 then distributed to the baord of directors prior to filing.”

“Annual trainings are conducted for board members and associates on corporate compliance and conflict of interest statements are signed by individuals.”

“The board members have access to the compensation survey done by nysarc and several of them are executives or have access to salaries paid at corning, inc., for example. The board goes into executive session and conducts an annual review of performance of the executive director.”

“Documents are available upon request.”

“All nysarc chapters are subject to chapter manual that delineates the policies and procedures of the board of governors.”
