There shall be four classes of membership: student, corporate, annual, & lifetime members. Each member shall be entitled to a vote of the members. Dues are payable annually on the date of membership of any calendar year. Any member whose annual dues remain unpaid for 90 days after the due date of any calendar year shall be deemed to have resigned upon the due date thereof. Any member may resign by filing a written resignation with the secretary. The board of directors, by affirmative vote of a majority of all the members of the board, may suspend or expel a member for cause.”

“Directors shall be elected to three (3) year terms via written ballot at the annual meeting of the corporation by a majority vote of the members present. Ten (10) members shall constitute a quorum. When a quorum is present at the meeting, the vote of the majority of the members shall, except where a larger vote may be required by law, or these bylaws, decide any question brought before the meeting. The vote of each member must be cast in person. There shall be no voting by proxy.”

“The 990 is reviewed by the executive committee only. The cpa preparing the return securely sends a draft of the 990 to the treasurer who then shares it with the rest of the executive committee for review and input. Any questions, comments, and/or corrections are sent to the preparer, who makes the corrections if there are any, and sends a secound draft to the treasurer. Once the form has been approved, it will be filed. The 990 is shared with the full board at a later date.”

“Members must make a written disclosure of potential conflicts of interest upon joining the board. This disclosure will be kept on file and will be updated as appropriate. In the course of meetings or activities, members will disclose any conflicts of interest, and after disclosure, the member will be asked to leave the room for the discussion of the item in conflict. They will not be permitted to vote on that item.”

“If requested, documents are sent via email.”
