ACC Program Area: Club Documents - Introduction

Introduction

If your club is organized with officers, a board, and membership dues, you probably have a need for certain established documents. The most common of these are the Bylaws, Procedures Manual or Operating Manual, and a Code of Ethics. Particularly if your club has a desire to be incorporated or register as a not-for-profit organization under the 501(c)3 category, it is important to have some of these club documents.

A Program Advisory Group is developing this program area and will continue to monitor, add to, and refine the information on an ongoing basis. Discussion Forums are available for collectors to gain more specific information from a variety of forum participants. A listing of Resources for this Program Area is provided, as well as a Reference Archive.

The primary purpose of the Association of Collecting Clubs (ACC) is to build coalitions between clubs, networking to share information for strengthening member clubs and better serving their memberships.
