“The following are summaries of changes that took place in the articles of incorporation and bylaws during 2013: for the articles of incorporation, irusa changed the phrasing of the article 3 statement of purpose to more closely conform to the phrasing recommended by california state tax law to qualify for sales tax and use exemptions. It did not change our statement of purpose to include new areas etc. The bylaws were amended to: 1) remove the ceo officer position 2) create two officer positions, the coo and president.

The president is a figure-head position for the purposes of external engagement and pursuit of institutional funding.”
