I am on a board that is a 501 (c-3) they don't seem to be following any rules. How can I find out how they should be conducting a meeting. Example -. Signing black checks, giving raises with out board approval, not having motions made when making decisions. :(
I try to explain that the meeting can not be conducted this way, they tell me to prove it. So here I am trying to find where I can get a copy of rules and regulations.
Thanks

First, any governmental regulations governing a 501(c)(3) organization would be found under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. You can find them at Internal Revenue Service (http://www.irs.gov).

Beyond those rules, there are standards of accounting that any 501(c)(3) organization would have to adhere to for reporting purposes. I'm not sure where to find those, but a search for 501(c)(3) accounting rules should find that info for you.

Finally, most organization create a set of by laws when they are setup. I'm not sure if that is a requirement, but it may be. Those bylaws should specify how meetings are conducted and other factors.

I must say that you don't seem to be that good about following rules either. This post was moved from the Forum Help area, which is clearly marked as NOT the place for asking regular questions, just for questions about how to use this site.

OK I will ask the question again... in a workingmans club where you pay a membership,is it right for employees to be members , that's 1 question the other is can employees vote at a general meeting ( agm )

... in a workingmans club where you pay a membership,is it right for employees to be members ...

Probably. You would have to check the statutes and perhaps caselaw for whatever jurisdiction (state or country) the club is organized in.


... can employees vote at a general meeting ( agm )

If they are members, probably. Again, depends on where you are.

Are all 501c3 records public information... this includes board minutes, personnel recorda and records of daily activities?
