NAEA治理变更2023

NAEA members who are active enrolled agents will still have to meet the IRS continuing education requirements. They will still be required to get 72 hours of CE every three years, with a minimum of 16 hours per year, and two credits of ethics each year.  

• 目前的附属机构结构在许多领域不起作用.  
• 招募新的志愿者领导一直很困难, 当前附属机构结构的重要组成部分.  
• Member engagement, member services, and member value vary widely among the state affiliates.  
• 我们需要适应成员国不断变化的需求和利益.  
• 人们想要最能满足他们需求的选择. They don’t want to pay for something that is not providing value or is not of interest to them.  
• 会员人数多年来一直在稳步下降, and we need to remove the barriers to entry for membership in the states and NAEA.  
• Additional engagement opportunities for members who don’t live in active, affiliated geographies.  

• 国家分支机构将继续像现在一样运作, but NAEA members will no longer be required to be a member of a state affiliate unless they choose to do so. State affiliates may need to undergo bylaws changes to remove the 双重会员资格要求 in their bylaws as well. A state affiliate will maintain its separate incorporation and continues to be bound by all nonprofit laws and reporting regulations.State affiliates will also continue to maintain a chartered relationship with NAEA and will continue to work with NAEA to support all members. The state affiliate would be responsible for all administrative and operational functions.

• An affiliate would dissolve their current incorporation and become a component of NAEA. 这消除了对单独治理结构的需求.  
• 没有单独的分会会费.
• 本分会的经费来自附属公司的储备金, net profits from events, 以及NAEA年度预算.
• 不会有双重成员, but a member would be a member of the chapter based on geographic region unless the member opts into a different chapter.  
• NAEA将提供所有业务, administrative, and support services so state/local efforts could be focused on member engagement and member services. Committees, programming, and engagement would be led by local volunteers and supported by NAEA.
• 该分会不需要章程或董事会. A local leadership committee or project/special interest group committees would drive member engagement.  
• 本章不需要维持IRS CE批准, a website, a database, 市场营销/通讯软件, 或者被要求提交纳税申报表.  

• 成员就某一特定主题的虚拟“会议场所”.g.、数字资产、能源信贷、行业新ea)  
• SIGs do not have to be in a geographic region; they can span the whole NAEA membership.  

• 第一年将不会有超出常规年度增长的增长. There could be possible nominal increases needed in the future to support additional member programs and activities. Dues are determined each year by the NAEA Board of Directors through the annual budget process.
