Now at LIMac:Disclosures
Long Island Macintosh User Group legal stuff
The user group is incorporated as a not for profit company. The Federal government lists us a LIMUG INC as Apple Computer doesn't want us to use the word fragment Mac in our legal name. We have registered ourselves in New York State with a DBA or Doing Business As under the name LIMac. Part of being a responsible organization and in order to comply with the not-for-profit guidelines, years ago the board hammered out a comprehensive set of by-laws that govern the basis for our operations. It took many months to debate every point during the allotted portion of our 2 hours per month board meetings. We looked at the by-laws of other organizations for a starting point and like the Founding Fathers of the United States, we laid out the structure for our future. These by-laws are open for inspection by all members, just like any member may attend a board meeting.
Download the latest By-Laws as a Adobe Acrobat format file. The first page, a table of contents, has links to each section of the By-Laws for your ease of use. The By-Laws are only 12 pages total and 296KB
