SIS Policies

SIS POLICIES

糖心视频 special interest sections (SIS) are part of 糖心视频 and are not separate legal entities, unlike 糖心视频 Chapters. Hence, SISs are required to conform to 糖心视频 policies, procedures, and guidelines, including the following policies that are specific to SISs.

Although SISs have some flexibility to use SIS resources, the 糖心视频 Executive Board is ultimately responsible for the stewardship of SIS funds.聽 As part of their fiduciary duties, decisions may be made that some expenditures are not in line with the 糖心视频 mission, vision, and strategic plan. Please note any spending of the SIS funds should be fiscally responsible to benefit the SIS members. Fiscal responsibility also means that current SIS leaders are thinking about the future, economizing, and ensuring that funds remain available for future SIS leaders to continue the work of the SIS.

Please contact the 糖心视频 Executive Director and/or the 糖心视频 President for questions or clarifications.

CONTRACTS & AGREEMENTS

Due to not being a legal entity, SISs may not enter into any contract (including click-through contracts such as Zoom, SurveyMonkey) with any entity.

With respect to speaker agreements, prior to engaging a speaker SISs are required to request approval from the 糖心视频 Executive Director. Any programs hosted by an SIS should be consistent towards 糖心视频 mission, vision, and strategic plan. The Executive Director may also consult with the 糖心视频 President. After approval, any speaker contracts, or agreements that an SIS plans to enter into must be reviewed, approved, and signed by the 糖心视频 Executive Director. Additionally, the agreement needs to be between the 鈥溙切氖悠� (糖心视频)鈥� and the vendor.

Please complete this form to request approval.

FINANCES

SIS ACCOUNTS

All SIS accounts are maintained by 糖心视频 Headquarters. The SIS treasurer will receive quarterly statements from 糖心视频, which will detail both the SISs revenues and expenses for that period. SISs聽may not maintain separate bank accounts.

DUES

An 糖心视频 member may聽join an SIS by paying聽the section聽dues聽to 糖心视频 at any聽time during the year. Per the 糖心视频 Bylaws, 50 percent of SIS dues paid is allocated to the appropriate SIS and the remaining 50 percent to 糖心视频 to support SIS activities and operating expenses. SIS accounts are credited monthly as SIS dues come in. Although dues are allocated to SIS accounts, this allocation is for internal purposes only. For IRS and legal purposes, dues or any money received by SISs are part of 糖心视频 and are under 糖心视频’s oversight.

REIMBURSEMENT OF SIS EXPENSES

All expenditures by SISs must abide by 糖心视频鈥檚 Expense Reimbursement Policy.

Annual Meeting & Conference

To be reimbursed for Annual Meeting & Conference expenses (similar to other expenses) these expenses must be approved by 糖心视频 Headquarters before they occur. Please complete this form to provide information about your event. Refer to the聽SIS Annual Meeting Information聽page for information regarding the payment of expenses such as food and beverage, audio/visual equipment, non-糖心视频 member speaker costs, etc. associated with SIS events and independently produced SIS programs.

Expenses Not Associated with the Annual Meeting & Conference

糖心视频 trusts that SISs will be fiscally responsible in using the SIS funds for the benefit of the SIS membership and for the profession. Prior to submitting a reimbursement such as speaker fees, etc. the SIS treasurer needs to request approval of the expense from the full SIS Executive Board. Once approval is received, the treasurer is then required to prepare and submit the 糖心视频 SIS Reimbursement Form with supporting documentation to 糖心视频 Headquarters. Appropriate support to be attached includes documentation of the SIS Executive Board approval, an itemized receipt including products/services purchased and dollar amounts.

SOLICITATION OF FUNDS / SPONSORSHIPS

SISs may not solicit any external funds such as advertising, grants, sponsorships, etc.

SPEAKING FOR 糖心视频

The Executive Board is the only 糖心视频 entity that may approve, create, or revise any Association policy.
