Newly Adopted Chapter Policies.
Dec. 11, 2012

On December 3rd the Executive Committee approved Financial Reporting and Pet Participation policies. Chapter Leaders will continue to make the decision on whether to allow or disallow pets on Chapter activities but will include a notification in the activity write up if pets are allowed. Based on that knowledge people can decide whether to participate or not participate in the activity.

The Financial Reporting Policy covers all activities that include a participant fee. The Policy reflects long-time AMC practices and complies with an AMC-wide effort that each Chapter have a written policy. Fee collection, fund use and accounting reporting requirements are the key elements covered by the Policy.

You can view these policies by clicking on these links: pet participation in chapter activities and activities that include a fee. The new policies take effect 1/1/2012.
