Society of Cardiovascular Computed

“There are three (3) classes of membership: professional member, technologist member, and trainee. All membership classes shall have full voting privileges. Membership in the society shall be available to all individuals without discrimination based upon race, religion, national origin, sex or handicap. The membership shall be available to all individuals interested in cardiovascular computed tomography, having an interest in the society, supporting its purpose, or otherwise qualifying for membership under criteria established by the board of directors from time to time. We currently have more than 3,900 members with an annual membership in the organization.”

“Directors are selected by a majority vote of the membership. Nominations may be recommended to the nominating committee for a slate of directors and officers to be approved by the board and presented for a vote from the membership at the annual membership meeting.”

“The form 990 is prepared by the outside accountant and then forwarded to the board of directors prior to the meeting of the board and prior to filing with the irs. At the board meeting, any questions or discussion will be conducted during the agenda item review of the 990. In addition, the treasurer will field any inquiries prior to the board meeting to ensure a timely response to the inquiries.”

“If any conflict of interest exists, the board member is required to remove himself/herself from the discussion and abstain from voting on the item under consideration. The board members must complete a written disclosure form on an annual basis and the conflict of interest statement is read at the start of all board meetings.”

“The chief executive officer's 2024 compensation was by contract under the advice of an independent executive recruiter.”

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

“The organization undergoes an audit or review every year. At that time, the board of directors selects an auditor at a board meeting based upon recommendation from the treasurer and/or finance committee. Each member of the board receives a copy of the audit or review and management letter for his/her review. The audit or review is then reviewed in detail by the treasurer at a subsequent board meeting. The board then formally approves the financial statements during this board meeting.”
