The Arc Jefferson-St Lawrence

“The organizational structure caps the size of the board at one for each chapter, who 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 40 chapters. The arc jefferson-st. Lawrence 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 corporations'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 chapter's form 990 before it is filed. Each chapter submits a copy of its form 990 to the governing body when the chapter's 990 is filed. The chapter must have a process for its board of directors to review the form 990. The arc jefferson-st. Lawrence has a designated board committee or individual board member assigned responsibilty for the review, approval and signature of its 990 before it is filed. Following their review the complete form 990 is provided to the board of directors to provide the opportunity for review prior to filing.”

“Key employees, and board of director members are required to review the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis.”

“For the board of directors, exempt wage scale information is developed by an outside firm.”

“Upon request, copies of the form 990 will be provided to the person making the request.”

“Upon request, the governing board documents, and conflict of interest policy is provided to the person making the request.”
