You need at least two Directors: one President, one Secretary/Treasurer. Your state might require more than two if you are incorporating (so check your state Secretary of State website!). You can have three or more, and you can divide the Secretary and Treasurer offices. Each Director needs to be an LC.

You can be a corporation or an unincorporated association.

• The corporation will protect you from being personally sued, if something goes wrong at your event. However, you have to register the corporation with your state. (See your state Secretary of State website.)
• The unincorporated association is easier, because you do not have to go through the State. However, you might open yourself up to being sued personally, if something goes wrong. (This varies from state to state, in some states you are still protected. Again, see your state Secretary of State website.)

If you choose Corporation, your Directors must copy the text of this document into a new Word document, fill it in and edit as necessary, add certain provisions if your state requires you to do so, sign, and file with the State Secretary of State or Department of Corporations with the required fee. Then send a copy to the National Treasurer.

If you choose Unincorporated Association, your Directors must must copy the text of this document into a new Word document, fill it in and edit as necessary, sign, and send a copy to the National Treasurer. You might also be able to file it with your State Secretary of State

Fill in this form and mail to the National Treasurer. When the National Treasurer gets all the LC consent forms, he will apply for a Group Exemption with the IRS. Then wait for our approval!
