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
