Forms 990 or 990-N must be filed every year by the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of the chapter’s tax year. For most chapters this will be May 15, 2018, for the 2017 tax year. All chapters must submit their own chapter filing to the IRS. Failure to file for three consecutive years could lead to the loss of the chapter’s tax-exempt status.
For assistance, review the job aid on understanding tax filings.
Chapter presidents and past presidents interested in continuing their leadership development are encouraged to apply for the NAC! ATD is currently accepting applications through Monday, June 4.
Please submit the online form, or learn more about serving on NAC or one of ATD’s other chapter-related committees by reading the committees-at-a-glance document.
Rochester Chapter: TED Talk Format of Programs to Increase Attendance
After polling members, the chapter completely restructured its programming to offer one event with smaller, bite-sized presentations containing more variety and networking opportunities. The board recruited volunteers in the chapter as guides and speakers for the event and hosted the program at a local art gallery. Because of the effort, the chapter increased event attendance in addition to chapter membership and created more buzz in the community. After the events, the board received great feedback from attendees and gained four new community partners.
The SOS program helps chapters improve through finding and sharing easy-to-use ideas, resources, and practices.

Joint membership activities are included in CARE to help chapters be successful by using best practices. Review the recent webcast by the National Advisors for Chapters (NAC) CARE team to learn more!
Beginning in 2018, the following changes go into effect to streamline joint membership activities:
• Add participating in the chapter membership on the ATD Store program in addition to sharing joint membership best practices (whether on NAC area calls, through the Sharing Our Success—SOS—program, or at ALC) as recommended activities to make a list of 20 recommended joint membership activities.
• Eliminate foundational activities, making no one activity required for completion over others.
• Decrease the number of minimum activities from 13 to 10 to make tracking and completion of activities more manageable for chapter leaders.
Marketing materials promoting the exciting changes to membership are available. Chapter leaders can use these resources to discuss the improved benefits and new rates with chapter members, and update their websites, Power Member communications, and more. The available materials include updated Power Member benefits tables, a promotional flyer, digital Power Membership brochure, an email template, PowerPoint slides, and updated HTML code for a Power Member page. Chapters in need of hard copy membership brochures should contact their chapter relations manager (CRM).
The price of Wild Apricot plans will increase on chapters’ next renewal date after April 3, 2018. Chapters participating in the Wild Apricot Partnership Program will continue to receive 20 percent off subscription prices. Along with the pricing change, Wild Apricot is also adding new features across all plans, including unlimited administrators, an online store, and a mobile app for members.
ATD has a new partnership with Lockton Financial Services to establish individual Directors and Officers (D&O) policies for interested chapters. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (often called D&O) is liability insurance offering protection to an organization (such as an ATD chapter) against “wrongful acts,” or a breach of “duty,” of its directors, officers, employees, and volunteers.
