The mandatory IRS filing requirements deadline for most chapters was May 15, 2018, for the 2017 tax year. To assist chapters with their financial health and meeting the Chapter Affiliation Requirements (CARE) financial requirements, chapter services requests each chapter submit a copy of their most recently filed 990 or 990-N and confirmation of acceptance by June 30.

Cascadia Chapter: Partnership With UMU
Through a partnership with UMU, the Cascadia Chapter has offered just-in-time evaluations and on-the-spot polling capability for a variety of functions including their annual conference, monthly programs, and member meetings. The chapter engages speakers ahead of time by asking for three questions to add to the program as an initial survey. As participants enter, they can log in using instructions on tent cards on each table and provide their answers to the questions. The board members also set up opportunities for organic Q&A, as well as a post-event evaluation. As a bonus, the chapter promotes its Chapter Incentive Program (ChIP) code by using it as the password for everyone to log on!
The SOS program helps chapters improve through finding and sharing easy-to-use ideas, resources, and practices.
Greater Las Vegas Chapter: Roles and Responsibilities Connected to CARE
The GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. The regulation applies not only to organizations located within the EU, but also to organizations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behavior of, EU data subjects. It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location. The GDPR will apply to chapters if they are marketing to or have data on individuals residing in the EU. While this regulation should not affect many chapters, chapter services recommends a thorough review of your chapter’s database(s). If you identify data for members or nonmembers residing in the EU, please contact your CRM immediately.
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).
Review the benefits of participation and determine if your chapter is eligible by reading the requirements document. Questions? Contact Erin Murphy.
Currently, 45 chapters are participating in the membership on the store program. Congratulations to the newest chapters added to the store: New York City, Maine, and Tulsa!
