“A Renewed Mind (ARM) and OhioGuidestone (OGS) entered into a member substitution agreement on July 1, 2018. ARM is a 501(c)(3) organization. OGS is a separate 501(c)(3) organization with a separate Tax Identification Number. OGS is the sole member of ARM. ARM is managed and governed by a Board of Directors, which is separate and distinct from the OGS Board of Directors. While ultimate authority and financial oversight is reserved to OGS, as the sole member, OGS is not the governing body of ARM. Further, the ARM Code of Regulations limits the ultimate authority of OGS during the two years following the member substitution (until July 1, 2020), and expressly prohibits OGS from removing or revising the governing rights of the ARM Directors without approval of the ARM Board during that period.”
