The ceo shall be an ex-officio member, without vote, as shall be the secretary-treasurer-elect, when occurring. The executive committee shall have all the authority of the board except as withheld by board resolution.”

“Membership shall consist of active members, emeritus members, retired members, and doctoral-level trainees, all of whom are entitled to one vote on matters requiring membership action.”

“Four classes of members have the right to elect members of the board (governing body): active members, emeritus members, retired members, and doctoral-level trainee members. Any member of the society may submit recommendations to the nominating committee for its deliberations. For the four or five positions on the nominating committee becoming vacant each year and the positions on the board of directors becoming vacant each year, the society members shall be invited to submit to the board of directors names of members they wish to be considered.”

“Decisions that require member approval: 1)the members, pursuant to procedures established by the board of directors and these bylaws, shall elect by ballot a president-elect. 2) removal of officers, board members, or appointed officials requires a vote of two-thirds of the membership responding to the ballot. 3) board, at any meeting, may amend the society's bylaws by an affirmative two-thirds vote of the number of board members provided that there is no proposal to require a membership vote for approval that has four votes by members of board. In the event that there are four affirmative votes by members of board to require a vote by the society membership, then the amendment will be put to a ballot of the membership. Bylaw amendments require an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the membership responding within 45 days after the transmission of the ballot to the members.”

“A detailed review of the form 990 is performed by the associate director, finance, the cfo, secretary-treasurer, secretary-treasurer elect (when occurring), and the ceo. The board members and officers have the opportunity to review the form 990 prior to filing with the irs.”

“Board members and key employees are required to read and sign a conflict of interest statement annually. They are required to disclose, in writing, any conflicts from business transactions that would need to be listed on schedule l, part iv. In addition, the conflict of interest statement is read at the beginning of each board meeting and individuals are required to disclose any new conflicts they are aware of arising from their own or other board members' activities. Board members are required to recuse themselves from voting on any issue in which they have a conflict of interest. Depending on the conflict, they may also be required to leave the meeting during the discussion and deliberations and they may not be counted in determining a quorum for the meeting. Meeting minutes reflect any recusal.”

“The ceo's proposed compensation is reviewed by the performance and compensation committee (p&cc) of the society before it takes effect. The p&cc is composed of the secretary-treasurer (and secretary-treasurer-elect, when occurring), current president, president-elect, and immediate past president. An independent consultant performs a compensation study of other comparable professional associations and discusses the results with the p&cc. The committee evaluates the proposed compensation in light of the survey for market reasonableness and the irs intermediate sanctions rules. The p&cc approves a compensation amount. A written employment contract between the society and the ceo has been approved by the p&cc. The p&cc also reviews salaries for the remaining key employees. The independent consultant performs a compensation study of other comparable professional associations to determine market reasonableness of salaries. The consultant also reviews the irs intermediate sanctions rules with the p&cc to ensure that they understand the salary levels are appropriate in light of those rules.”

“The endocrine society's bylaws and its conflict of interest policy are available on its website: www.endocrine.org. The society's form 990 is available on a public website (www.guidestar.org) or upon request to the society.”
