Articles of Incorporation
BSOA Governance and Finance » Articles of Incorporation
Articles of Incorporation are the basic charter of a corporation which spells out the name, purpose, incorporators, and any special characteristics such as being non-profit. The starting point for filing and approval of articles of incorporation is usually the state’s Secretary of State.
The BSOA Articles of Incorporation need to be updated. Although two ballot efforts (in 2007 and 2009) resulted in overwhelming support to amend and update the BSOA Articles of Incorporation, voter quorum of two-thirds (2/3) was not met. The BSOA Board intends to send a third ballot to the membership in Summer of 2011.
