“The organization is a nonprofit membership corporation. Any individual or entity with an interest in the provision of care for the chronically ill shall be eligible for membership. The corporation shall have two classes of members: founding members and supporting members. Each class of membership shall have such responsibilities and privileges as provided in these bylaws and as the board of directors may designate from time to time, but such designations may not be inconsistent with these bylaws. The membership eligibility and classification of each applicant for membership shall be determined by the board of directors using any criteria or process it chooses to adopt. The board of directors may establish categories within the supporting member class of membership, with such categories having different levels of membership fees or dues, as determined by the board of directors. The classification of any member may be changed by the board of directors at any time; however, a founding member's classification may only be changed with the approval of at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the other founding members. In the event a founding member's classification is changed, the member must be given notice in the same manner as if it had been terminated under section 3.3.4 of the bylaws.”

“Designation, election and tenure of office: each founding member shall have the right to appoint and designate up to two (2) directors (each a "designated director") who will serve at the pleasure of the founding member. A designated director's term shall commence immediately upon appointment, and continue until such director's death, removal or resignation. Upon determination of the board of directors, each supporting member that has paid membership dues at the level determined from time to time by the board of directors shall have the right to nominate one individual to serve as an elected director. The board of directors shall elect additional directors (the "elected directors"), each of whom shall serve a two-year term. The elected directors shall consist of (i) nominees of the supporting members nominated in accordance with section 4.3.2 of bylaws and elected by the board of directors and (ii) any additional directors elected by the board of directors. The initial elected directors' terms will be staggered in accordance with procedures adopted by the board. Despite the expiration of an elected director's term, the director will continue to serve until the director's successor is elected and qualified or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. An elected director's term of office will begin immediately after election.”

“The only class of membership with voting rights is founding members. The founding members are entitled to vote on the following matters: (1) admission of additional founding members and termination of membership of founding members; (2) dissolution of the corporation; (3) any merger or similar transaction involving the corporation; and (4) disposition of all or substantially all of the corporation's assets. No member of the corporation shall have the right, on any occasion, to vote to elect any director or directors to the board of directors.”

“The form 990 is prepared by a cpa firm and is reviewed by the executive director and board prior to filing.”

“All board members are required to annually review and sign the conflict of interest policy. All actual and potential conflicts of interests shall be disclosed by board members to the executive committee through the annual disclosure form and/or when a conflict arises. The disinterested members of the executive committee will make a determination as to whether a conflict exists and what subsequent action is appropriate.”
