Ncrs bylaws

Re: Ncrs bylaws

I am President of the International Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club, a 501c3 organization that is 40 years old. We are required to post our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws as a non-profit for the membership. The Board determines changes to the By-Laws and the membership votes for the Board positions.

I'm new to this vocation of classic corvettes and not even sure what the NCRS is registered as. Are we a non-profit? Different rules apply to different groups

PS. BTW very few of the membership ever bothers to even read this kind of stuff. It's generally only talked about by a small percentage of members.

Re: Ncrs bylaws

This is probably an issue more of us should be interested in. Having served (and am still serving) on several BODs of for-profit Fortune 500 and non-profits foundations over the last 15 years, there are responsibilities where the BOD members are accountable to the stakeholders or stockholders of the organization. We all should be informed of these as well.

Re: Ncrs bylaws

can you guys just post it here?

Re: Ncrs bylaws

It is too big to attach. I have suggested that NCRS just post this on their website. A lot of non profit organizations do this for their by-laws and the IRS financial reporting documents.My suggestion is working it's way through the system.

Re: Ncrs bylaws

Not to get off topic, but does local chapters of the NCRS have to follow the same guide lines stated in the NCRS bylaws? I just quit my local chapter because they didn't. We had no voting rights and the board members were not elected but appointed by the board.

As I recall each Chapter has by-laws. In ours, the Chapter Chair, Vice Chapter Chair, Secretary, Membership Chair and Treasurer are elected by the members at our January Kickoff meeting. The Judging Chair and the Activities Chair are selected by the Chapter Chair. Any changes to the by-laws are reviewed and approved by our board, but they are only approved to take to the members to vote on. Therefore our members really approve any by-laws changes.

Re: Ncrs bylaws

I think the Chapters should have their own rules and/or bylaws (ours does). They do have to do certain things to retain their Chapter status from the National. Don H.

Re: Ncrs bylaws

There is a publication entitled NCRS Chapter Guidelines and Operations Manual that spells out how in detail how to organize and operate a chapter, including writing bylaws and electing officers. Chapter chairmen should have a copy; if not, contact your regional representative.

My chapter is voting on two bylaws amendments at our fall business meeting.

Re: Ncrs bylaws

Surely someone on this TDB can answer Dick's original question?

Post #21 does not seem to indicate the bylaws, which seem to be changing often according to current info, are available to members in general.

What do our bylaws state about bylaw access by general membership?

Just wondering if we are becoming the NCRSS.
