22 State Business Filings for Chapters NCMA Counsel has advised that chapters must be in compliance with state business registration requirements –Specific for each state in order to do business in that state –A part of NCMA National Bylaws NCMA has not in our long history monitored chapters’ filings, or enforced this bylaw provision. –NCMA BoD believes that failing to comply with state requirements constitutes an unacceptable legal risk that must be remedied promptly. NCMA’s national office will manage the process of registering in each state where we have business. –Will need information from chapters, such as an in-state point of contact, to be included in the state filings. –The costs associated with the initial filings will be paid by NCMA; renewal procedures and fees in future years, if any, will be addressed in a revision to NCMA’s policy 5-7 to be released this summer. Letter from Executive Director asking for a volunteer in each state to be focal point –Training will be held
