JOHNSON AND TED QUIRK -BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 4: During FY18, UNLV Foundation made revisions to its Bylaws. Below is a summary of those that constitute siginificant changes: -Article 1.3. Statement of Purpose. Previous versions of the bylaws did not include a Statement of Purpose. The Bylaw Revision Task Force thought it was important to include this information. The wording was taken from the Articles of Incorporation. -Article 2.1. Members. This section was added to clarify that members of the Board of Regents are "Members" of the UNLV Foundation only during their term of office on the Board of Regents. -Article 2.03. Annual Meeting. Added for clarification is a statement that reflects adherence to the Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 82.316, as amended. -Article 2.04. Special Meetings. Clarification added with reference to NRS 82.336, as amended, as the controlling principle. -Article 2.7. Proxy Voting. Wording updated to reflect current requirements under NRS 82.321, as amended. -Article 3.01.d. and 3.01.e. References to "employees" were struck to reflect that employees are subject to oversight by the employer and not the Board. -Article 3.01.h. Reworded with reference to Article VIII of the Bylaws which specifically states the process and requirements for amending the Bylaws. -Article 3.02.d.2) Changed to reflect UNLVs change in title for the position of Vice President for Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement, and also the change from "Executive Director" to "President" of the Foundation. -Article 3.02.d.4) This is an addition to the Bylaws. Previously only the president of the Alumni Association was included as an Ex-Officio member of the Board. The Board decided to extend Ex-Officio status to the presidents (or chairmen) of all UNLV institutionally affiliated foundations. -Article 3.03. Annual Meeting. Addition of clarifying language to state that notice of meeting shall be given in writing. -Article 3.7. Telephonic or Other Means of Participating in a Meeting. This provision was added to reflect and specifically allow the use of electronic means by which Trustees may participate in Board or committee meetings. It confirms such permission as afforded by NRS 82.271, as amended. -Article 3.8. Committees. a. The Executive Committee Adds the role of Governance Committee to the scope of the Executive Committee responsibilities. c. The Committee on Trustees Added the responsibility of nominating new members for the Foundations Advisory Board to this Committee. f. The Audit Committee Paragraph 1) amended to better reflect the responsibilities of the Audit Committee in todays world. -Article 4.07. Duties of the Secretary. Struck language requiring the Board Secretary to keep minutes of the proceedings of the meetings of the "Members of the corporation." -Article 4.08. Duties of the Treasurer. Rewritten for clarity and to better state the role and responsibilities of the Treasurer by todays standards. -Article 4.09 Duties of the President of the Foundation. Updated reference to "President" of the Foundation rather than "Executive Director." Also adds clarifying language, "subject to the authority of the Board," that establishes the relationship with the Board. -Article VII Indemnification Language added reflecting the provisions of NRS 82.541 and NRS 78.752. |
