3. APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION* Connop

BACKGROUND The Iowa State University Alumni Association (ISUAA) is an Iowa public benefit corporation. The ISUAA last filed its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (Articles) with the Iowa Secretary of State on June 20, 2006. Subsequently, the ISUAA’s Articles had been amended by the ISUAA Board of Directors (Board) to add a new category of members – annual business members. The amendment for the new category of members was approved by the Board on May 29, 2009; however, this addition wa not officially approved by the members of the ISUAA.

ISSUE In addition to board approval, Iowa Code 504.1003 specifies that amendments to the Articles of a corporation must receive member approval. As this writing, the Board is requesting members’ approval of the Board’s decision to add “Annual business members” as an eligible group for membership in the ISUAA. Annual Business Members officially began being recognized as ISUAA members in May 2009. The Association’s Board, when amending the Articles to properly recognize this new member category pursuant to Iowa Code 504.1003, failed to send the approved amendment to the members.

The Board also seeks member approval to amend the Acknowledgment paragraph of the Articles. This change recognized that all prior changes to the Articles have been consolidated into this amendment and that the necessary approvals for the Board and members have been obtained.
