Once again, we would like to remind you the deadline
for submitting applications for the May CAE exam was February
9th, 2007. The CAE Exam fee is $500
for ASAE members ($700 for non-members), with
an additional $100 fee to extend the deadline
to March 9, 2007. E-mail Laura Frank at the
ISAE
office
(lfrank@isae.org) if
you are planning to sit for the
May exam. ISAE can then keep you informed of upcoming study sessions
and mentors to provide
valuable
help
prior to the exam.
For more information
on the CAE exam, visit the
following ASAE link:
CAE Exam Information
Are they ISAE members? Shouldn’t they be? You can easily find this
information on the ISAE Web site at: http://www.isae.org/directory.php
When
you make your next buying decision or do payables, take a moment
to review your list of vendors. If they are ISAE members, let them know
their membership in ISAE is important to you. If they are not ISAE
members,
consider asking them to join ISAE.
ISAE past President and
current member Tim Murphy, CAE, shared a memo his organization
sends to potential vendors. It reads:
TO: ILBSA’s professional service
providers and potential vendors
FR: Timothy J. Murphy, CAE
RE: Doing business with Indiana Lumber and Builders’ Supply Association
As
a statewide association for over 122 years, ILBSA’s volunteers and
staff inherently understand the great impact
the entire not-for-profit association community has upon the economy
of the State of Indiana, and the nation as a
whole. Our members, too, understand the importance
of their membership in ILBSA for the numerous membership and industry
benefits.
As such, we prefer to conduct business with those companies and
firms who understand this dynamic
and support the association management
profession.
One of our guidelines for selecting vendors
/ professional partners
is membership in the trade/professional
association that represents your product, trade,
industry, or profession; as well as the
Indiana Society of Association Executives (for resident
companies and professionals, when
applicable).
Recently, our office has been contacted
by hotel / meeting venue representatives asking us
to consider their facilities for our events.
Please
note that our
association’s annual, regional, and professional development
meetings are only contracted
with those providers who are members of The Indiana Society of
Association Executives (www.isae.org).
This assists our volunteers and staff
in knowing that the property
and its meeting professionals automatically understand our needs,
making our
meetings
most successful and enjoyable.
I thank you for your interest in conducting business with our
association, as well as the many
other professional, trade, and fraternal associations located within
our
community;
and look forward to learning
more about your products and services.
(Just so you know, he started this program
years before his wife became ISAE’s Executive!)
Please consider
implementing a similar program
within your association. Not only will it improve ISAE membership,
it will also strengthen
the bond with and value to
our current associate members.

In order to continue the much requested discussion on Indiana Non-Profit
Law started at last summer’s seminar, each month Synergy will address
a question from members pertaining to the current Indiana law. As always,
we encourage you to ask your corporate attorney for clarification.
This month’s
question has to do with records and reports.
Q: What do you do
if a member requests a copy of your organization’s
financial statement? What are you obligated to present
to that member based on Indiana ’s
Law?

Sec. 2. (a) Subject to subsection (e) and section 3(c)
of this chapter, a member is entitled
to inspect and copy, at a reasonable time and location specified
by the corporation, the records of the
corporation described in section 1(e) of this chapter if the member gives
the
corporation written notice or
a written
demand at least five (5) business days
before the date on which the member desires to inspect and copy.
(b) Subject to subsection (e), a member may inspect
and copy, at a reasonable time and reasonable
location specified by the corporation, the following

to
inspect and
copy:
(1) Excerpts from records required to
be maintained under section 1(a) of this chapter, to
the extent not subject to inspection
under subsection (a).
(2) Accounting records of the corporation.

faith and for a proper purpose.

particularity the purpose and the records the member desires
to inspect.
(3) The records are directly connected
with the purpose.

following:

records under IC 23-17-11-1 or, if the member is in litigation with
the corporation,
to
the same extent
as
any other
litigant.
(2) The power of a court, independently
of this article, to compel the production of corporate records for
examination.
(e) The articles of incorporation or
bylaws of a religious corporation may limit or abolish the right of
a member under
this section
to inspect and copy a corporate
record.
(f) The articles of incorporation of
a corporation may limit or abolish the following:
(1) The right of a member to obtain from
the corporation information as to the identity of contributors to the
corporation.
(2) The right of a member or the member's
agent or attorney to inspect or copy the membership list if the corporation
