5 STANDING RULES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL IAWP, INCORPORATED SUBCHAPTER A Organization of IAWP Section.0100 FUNCTIONS.0101 Purposes: The IAWP shall foster the following and related purposes, namely: 1. To enhance the individual competence, knowledge and proficiency of members interested in all occupations in the Workforce Development field. 2. To provide an international forum for the exchange of information. 3. To support administrators in carrying out programs, and to assist in the continued improvement of the administration of programs and services. 4. To promote public and legislative awareness of the skillful services provided by the personnel of these programs. 5. To provide information to members on proposed legislation and policy matters affecting these programs. 6. To foster a closer working relationship with organizations that have common concerns regarding the improvement of the Workforce Development field. 7. To contribute toward the advancement of peace, goodwill, and international understanding through world fellowship among persons interested in these programs Division of Work (a) To facilitate accomplishing the.0101 Purposes, the President may designate such work under appropriate IAWP committees, either standing or special. (b) The Board of Directors or its designee shall determine the number of members, composition, method of appointment or election, functions, powers and duties, structure, authority to act, and other matters relating to each committee, standing or special. (c) Any committee may be composed of members of the Board of Directors, Officers, District Directors or other members of IAWP Standing Committees 1

6 The standing committees shall be: Conference, Education, Communication, Chapter Development, International Development, Recognition, Marketing, Executive, and Bylaws and Resolutions Cooperation with other Committees: Each committee so appointed may secure the cooperation of like committees, chapters and districts of the IAWP The organization of Chapters and Districts of IAWP (a) The IAWP shall encourage and foster the organization of chapters and districts. (b) Each state or territory of the United States, each province of Canada and each country may create a chapter. (c) A group of 25 active members as specified in Section.0200, may petition the IAWP president to form a chapter, upon review of qualifications the President will approve the formation of a new chapter. The new organization must prepare and adopt bylaws according to the following requirements: (1) The name of the chapter will incorporate the name of IAWP or indicate association with IAWP. (2) The dues structure of a chapter must incorporate the international dues. International dues for members will be remitted to the Administrative Office of IAWP annually for each member of the chapter. (3) The purposes of a chapter must be consistent with the purposes of IAWP. (d) A chapter will create and adopt its bylaws and submit them to the President of IAWP. The president will review the bylaws and submit them to the IAWP Bylaws and Resolutions committee for review to ensure they meet the standards as stated in.0105(c). At the completion of the process the Secretary/Treasurer of IAWP will issue a charter to the chapter. The Charter will remain the property of IAWP and may be revoked at any time for cause by the IAWP President or by a two thirds vote of the Board of Directors. Decisions may be appealed to the Board of Directors. The decision of the Board of Directors shall be final. (e) A chapter shall be deemed active and entitled to retain its charter as long as the chapter retains members for whom annual membership fees are remitted to the IAWP Administrative Office. A chapter shall be deemed inactive during any membership year in which annual membership fees are not remitted to the IAWP Administrative Office. If a chapter is deemed inactive for four (4) consecutive membership years, its charter shall be deemed revoked without any action by the IAWP Board of Directors. A chapter that only has life member/s is deemed to be in compliance since their membership was paid up in full by their chapter in advance. If a life member (full or retiree) at any time wishes to switch their membership to another chapter they 2

7 will not be penalized in any way. They will transfer to the new chapter if that chapter will allow the transfer, and they will be a member of the new chapter with all rights as a member, upon notification to the administrative office.

(f) To ensure continuing compliance with the governing documents of IAWP, each chapter shall transmit to the chair of the IAWP Bylaws and Resolutions Committee a copy of each proposed amendment to and/or revision of the constitution and/or bylaws of such chapter. This transmittal to the Committee Chair shall occur before the adoption of the proposed amendment and/or revision, and the Chair shall review the documents and advise the chapter and the Board of Directors of the results of the review within thirty (30) days after receipt of the documents. (g) Except with the approval of the Board of Directors, a chapter will have no administrative jurisdiction outside the state, territory, province or country in which such chapter is located. A chapter or person acting for a chapter may use the name of IAWP only concerning matters directly affecting the interests of such chapter in the state, territory, province or country in which the chapter is located. A chapter or person acting for a chapter may address a federal agency or a federal administrator on matters pertaining to IAWP outside the jurisdiction of the chapter only if authorized by the IAWP President or Board of Directors.

(l) The establishment or realignment of geographical districts shall be with the advice and consent of the affected chapters. The consent of a chapter shall exist if a majority of votes cast by chapter members entitled to vote on such issue approve the establishment or realignment of the geographical district.

Section.0200 MEMBERSHIP YEAR, CLASSES, RECORDS AND FEES.0201 Membership Year The membership year shall be the calendar year (January 1 December 31). 4

9 .0202 Classes of Membership (a) Classes of Membership The classes of members of IAWP are chapter affiliated and non chapter affiliated. The categories of these classes are set forth below. (b) Chapter Affiliated Members The chapter affiliated members are all persons interested in the purposes of IAWP as stated herein and whose names appear on a chapter s membership roster forwarded to and maintained by the Administrative Office of IAWP. All chapter affiliated members must pay the annual IAWP membership fees established for each category. (1) Full Members This category includes those chapter members who pay the annual IAWP chapter affiliated membership fee at an unreduced rate. Members in this category shall have the right to vote, make and second motions during any meetings of the members, place names in nomination, be nominated for and hold any office, and serve on one or more committees. When determining a quorum for a meeting of the members, all full chapter affiliated members shall be counted. (2) Retired Members This category includes those chapter members who have retired from full time employment and pay the annual IAWP membership fee at a reduced rate. Members in this category shall have the right to vote, make and second motions during any meeting of the members, place names in nomination, and serve on one or more committees. A retired chapter affiliated member paying membership fees at a reduced rate may seek and hold office as a member of the IAWP Board of Directors. If a retired chapter affiliated member pays a membership fee at an unreduced rate they shall have all the rights of a full chapter affiliated member. When determining a quorum for meetings of members, all retired chapter affiliated members shall be counted. (3) Life Members This category includes those chapter affiliated members on whom IAWP has conferred a paid up IAWP membership for life. A paid up life membership shall be conferred upon any member who has held the elected office of International IAWP President. Any other member may receive a paid up IAWP membership for life upon the recommendation of his/her chapter, submission of the appropriate membership fees (full or retiree rate) by the chapter, and approval by the Board of Directors. Members in this category shall have all the rights as set forth in the category (full or retiree) for which life membership dues have been paid, and shall be considered in determining what constitutes or shall constitute a quorum for meetings of members. If a life member (full or retiree) at any time wishes to transfer their membership to another chapter they will not be penalized in any way. They will transfer to the new chapter if that chapter will allow the transfer, 5

10 notify the administrative office and they will be a full member of the new chapter with all rights as a full member. A life membership is an honor and members with this distinction should be treated as such. (4) Introductory Members This category includes those individuals who are considering membership in IAWP as an inducement to participate for one year s activities. Membership in this category entitles the member to all benefits of membership except the ability to receive scholarships & grants, and to be nominated for international awards (the member would still be able to be nominated as a non member in applicable categories). Individuals may only be in this status for 1 year. Individuals are prohibited from being in this membership class if they have previously held membership with IAWP in this class. (5) Chapter Associates Optional for Chapters This category is intended for the purpose of increasing membership and allowing chapter affiliated members of one chapter to participate in the activities of another chapter without paying additional international dues. A chapter may offer associate status to an individual who is considering membership in IAWP as an inducement to participate for one year in chapter activities. This status may also be offered to an individual who signs up for a payroll deduction plan where IAWP and chapter membership dues are collected one year in advance. This would allow an individual to participate in the chapter s activities during the twelve month period prior to becoming an IAWP member. Such status should be limited to non members for no more than one year. Associate status may also be offered to IAWP Chapter Affiliated members of one chapter by any other chapter. Chapter Associate status would allow the individual privileges as determined by the offering chapter but would not provide the individual any privileges and/or rights in regards to any matters and/or activities pertaining to IAWP. (c) Non chapter Affiliated Members The non chapter affiliated members are all persons interested in the purposes of IAWP as enumerated herein, are not associated with a chapter and whose names do not appear on a membership roster maintained by a chapter. A non chapter affiliated member must pay the annual IAWP membership fees established for the category in which said membership is conferred. Members in this class shall have the right to vote, make and second motions during any meeting of the members, place names in nomination, serve on one or more committees, and seek and hold office as a member of the IAWP Board of Directors. In the determining what constitutes or shall constitute a quorum for membership meetings, all non chapter affiliated members shall be considered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no member in this class shall be entitled to be nominated for and/or serve as an elected or appointed officer as defined in Article III of the Bylaws.

(3) Life Members (Non chapter Affiliated) Life Time Members are non chapter affiliated members on whom IAWP has conferred a paid up IAWP membership for life. A non chapter affiliated member may receive a paid up IAWP membership for life upon the recommendation of a current or past IAWP officer or member of the IAWP Board of Directors, submission of the appropriate membership fees (full or retiree rate) by this sponsor of the non chapter affiliated member, and approval by the Board of Directors.

Life membership shall be determined by multiplying the applicable class or category membership fee by fifteen (15) years. The Board of Directors shall also establish a separate membership fee schedule for non United States chapter affiliated and non chapter affiliated members, and in doing so must consider the economy and governmental restrictions applicable to the country in which these members reside and/or work.
