16 Board of Direction and Executive Committee

Duties and responsibilities of the Board of Direction

The duties and responsibilities of the ICRI Board of Direction are governed by the ICRI Bylaws found in this manual. In addition, general duties include:

1. Establish general objectives for the organization. 2. Determine and establish policies to carry out the intent of the chartered objectives of ICRI. 3. Report annually to the general membership on the state of the Institute finances and affairs (This is done through the Annual report published in the Annual Meeting program and the Concrete Repair Bulletin) 4. Examine, authorize and review budgetary matters. 5. Delegate to administrative committees and the Executive Director authority for the conduct of the affairs of the Institute. 6. Receive and review reports of those to whom authority has been delegated to assure that objectives are being properly followed. 7. Assign specific problems to administrative committees or staff for study, review their recommendations, and adopt courses of action.

Since the Board of Direction collectively is the governing force, no single officer may act independently for ICRI without Board authorization. The Executive Director is the duly appointed agent of the Board for the conduct of ordinary business.

Individual members of the Board of Direction should bear in mind that while their suggestions as to operating details of the Institute are always welcomed by staff, it cannot, on the other hand, necessarily be bound to adopt them. They must be weighed in connection with established policies and procedures which have been demonstrated to be practical and useful. A Board member may in good faith suggest a course of action which has been demonstrated to be less effective in accomplishing a given mission than that which is in effect. A Board member therefore should not feel let down should some of their suggestions not be adopted.

The Executive Director and staff are responsible for the exploration and analysis of present and future problems, development of plans for solving these problems, and for initiative to give the Institute the perpetual life that distinguishes it from the individual.

The Board of Direction has the responsibility to confirm or disapprove management recommendations on major changes and objectives, policies, organization, and single transactions that will have a substantial effect on the stability and success of ICRI.

The Board should be a source of constructive council to the Institute Staff. In this capacity, the Board does not formally approve or direct executive action. Instead, there is

17 an exchange of views as to the technical activities, membership problems, reactions of and relations with other organizations, effect of business conditions, and other factors.

An important function of the Board is to regularly review the results of current operations. This helps to keep Board members informed about ICRI operations which is essential if they are to perform their other duties effectively. It also provides Board members an opportunity to ask questions dealing with the fundamental aspects of ICRI’s operations.

The three regular meetings of the Board each year do not provide time for intimate review of details of the ongoing programs of the institute. Therefore, the Board delegates supervision of these details to the appropriate Administrative Committee, and the Technical Activities Committee.

To ensure strong participation at these committee meetings, each Board Member is required to serve as a member of two administrative committees. These assignments are made by the President at the start of their term of office.

The acronym for the International Concrete Repair Institute is ICRI and will be called I - C - R - I, and not pronounced. 1/3/94

Duties and responsibilities of the Executive Committee

The Executive Committee, per ICRI Bylaws, “shall act for the Board of Directors in any matters requiring attention between regular meetings.”

The Executive Committee has responsibility for the contract with ICRI’s management company, including all contract negotiations and annual management company review.

The Executive Committee shall review and update the ICRI Policy Manual annually.

The Executive Committee shall review the status of any Director or Committee Chair who has failed to attend two consecutive meetings and make recommendations of their decision to the Board. 5/16/94

The Executive Committee will determine which organizations or associations that ICRI will join, after discussion with the Executive Director.

Guide to Chapter Organization

STARTING A LOCAL CHAPTER By following the steps outlined below, as a group of like-minded repair specialists should be able to have a chapter formed and operational over a period of several weeks. ICRI staff stands ready to answer any questions you may have after reading this booklet, so please do not hesitate to call.

Step 1 - Determine Local Interest Level It should go without saying that a chapter has little chance of success if there is not a core group of individuals willing to make it happen. However, if those individuals are all involved in the same or similar businesses, it is much less likely that others will be attracted to take part in chapter meetings and activities.

To determine the level of local interest, contact current ICRI members and any nonmember contacts you may have in your area. The ICRI office will supply a list of members and nonmembers in a given area, so long as the person is an ICRI member. Allow a relatively short response time; if persons are genuinely interested, it will not take long to gather this information.

The ICRI by-laws allow the formation of chapters in areas with at least 15 ICRI members. However, this is a minimal number to depend upon when trying to provide for a viable and growing organization, and it is prudent to have 20-25 persons interested in forming a chapter before proceeding.

Step 2 - Hold an Initial Meeting An initial meeting can be in one of two forms.

If there is a sufficient number of interested persons willing to act as a steering committee, and they represent several facets of industry, you can hold a meeting to determine the structure of the chapter.

The other, and probably more desirable, alternative is to hold an open meeting, to which all ICRI members and potential members are invited. To attract these people to the meeting, feature a technical presentation or panel discussion on an issue relevant to the area.

When sending the invitations, invite people interested in starting the chapter and serving as an officer to attend a meeting prior to the technical presentation meeting. You can then choose your initial officers and board based on the interest of the meeting attendees.

Following the technical meeting, introduce the proposed officers and board to the meeting attendees and tell them whom to contact if they are also interested in serving.

23 Step 3 - Determine the Chapter Structure The steering committee determines a proposed structure for the chapter. The items that need to be determined are:

 Chapter name.  Geographical boundaries.  Frequency and types of meetings.  Meeting location(s) (one general location or different communities within the geographic area that the chapter services).  Chapter dues.  By-laws. This guide includes a model by-laws. Use it to develop by-laws specific to your chapter. Because these are the rules by which your chapter will operate, it is imperative to carefully prepare them. Options are to be selected and blanks filled in to arrive at usable by-laws for chapter activities. Sections may be added or deleted as appropriate.  List of pending officers and directors. All chapter officers must be ICRI members. Note: There is no ICRI requirement for a separate secretary and treasurer; these offices may be combined into one position if desired.  Standing committee chairs. It is important to appoint Program and Membership Committee chairs as soon as possible.

Step 4 - Assign Officers and Directors The chapter’s Steering Committee should make up the chapter’s first slate of officers and directors, all of whom must be ICRI members. Listing of the chapter officers on the charter, with the signatures of at least 15 local ICRI members constitutes approval of the officers.

The chapter must provide the Chapter Relations Coordinator a complete list of its officers and board.

Step 5 - Apply for ICRI Charter This guide includes a sample application for an ICRI charter. When the organization of the chapter is substantially complete, the application should be forwarded to the ICRI office. The following must be included with the chapter charter and by-laws:

1. Federal Employee ID number (EIN) or tax ID, if applicable. 2. A list of past and upcoming events, so the committee and ICRI board can verify your activities.

The proposed chapter by-laws must be included with the application.

Step 6 – Begin Regular Meetings While the chapter is waiting for its charter to be approved, it should go on with business as usual. Holding technical dinner meetings or a social outing is a great way to generate more interest in your chapter and will show the ICRI Board that the chapter is active.

24 The chapter must provide event announcements and reports to the Chapter Relations Coordinator.

Approval of ICRI Chapter Charter Once a chapter has completed all six steps to starting a local chapter, it must submit all required documentation to the ICRI chapter relations coordinator. The chapter relations coordinator will then verify that all information has been received or if there are any missing information the chapter needs to provide.

Once all documentation is in order, the chapter relations coordinator will send everything to the Chapter Committee Chair and ICRI executive director for review and approval. If all three parties (chapter liaison, committee chair and executive director) approve the charter and documentation, the chapter will be chartered and can begin dues collection as an ICRI chapter. If there are any discrepancies, the chapter will be given the opportunity to make corrections and resubmit their documentation.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Identification Number All chapters must apply for a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) or tax ID, as applicable, as soon as possible. This identification number is required to open a bank account for the chapter.

You can obtain an EIN by phoning the IRS. When applying, be sure to note that you are applying for the number for bank account use only.

Bank Account Chapters must open a bank account in the name of the chapter ONLY. It is recommended that the Treasurer be bonded for his/her own protection as well as the chapter’s protection. ICRI will withhold all dues reimbursement checks until the chapter provides proof of establishing a bank account.

Federal Taxes Filing a Federal Income Tax form (the non-profit form is #990) is not required until and unless the chapter's gross receipts in any one year reach or exceed $25,000.

Literature The new chapter will be supplied with reasonable quantities of promotional literature about ICRI, including issues of Concrete Repair Bulletin, membership applications, ICRI brochures, etc. The value of these items is not used in determining the chapter's initial reimbursement. ICRI will also assist in preparing and mailing notices of organizational meetings, again at no charge.

25 Chapter Supplies The purchase of stationery and other supplies is the responsibility of the local chapter. ICRI can provide the logo to the chapter or start-up chapter upon request.

Representation The chapter’s officers and members must not represent themselves as being the International organization or agents of the International organization. The chapter letterhead and other chapter publications must take this into account, and the chapter name must appear in larger type than the ICRI name. It must be clear to anyone receiving chapter correspondence that the material is from the chapter and not ICRI International.

26 Chapter Operating Policies

Membership – April 1990 A person or firm must be a member of ICRI in order to be a member of a local chapter.

Chapter Officer Membership – November 1997 According to all chapter bylaws, in order for someone to serve as an officer or director for a chapter, that person must be a member of ICRI and the local chapter.

ICRI will periodically send notices to chapter officers, listing their paid and unpaid officers and board members. For those who have not paid dues, ICRI will recommend the chapter elect a new officer or board member to replace that person. ICRI will give the chapter 30 days to either have the board member/officer pay their dues or elect a dues- paying member to replace that person.

Failure to comply may lead to the chapter’s charter being revoked.

Chapter Officer and Board Installation Date – March 2001 The installation date for all ICRI chapter officers and directors is January 1. Chapters can hold elections at a time that works best for them, but all officers and board members will have the same installation date, January 1.

Dues Collection – November 1996 All ICRI and chapter dues must be sent to the ICRI International office and not collected by a local chapter. ICRI will send the chapter secretary a dues reimbursement check each month the chapter has new and renewing members with a list of those members.

For start-up chapters not yet chartered as official ICRI chapters, see the section titled Dues Collection for Chapters Not Yet Chartered.

Chapter Sponsorship and Co-Sponsorship of Events at ICRI Conventions and Annual Meetings – April 1997 If a local chapter wants to hold an event in conjunction with an ICRI convention, ICRI headquarters must approve, in writing, the entire event plan before it can be publicized or finalized.

If a local chapter wants to sponsor or cosponsor an event (e.g., social outing, Welcoming Reception) at an ICRI convention or Annual Meeting, the chapter must conform to the following guidelines.

Full Sponsorship – The chapter pays the TOTAL cost of the event. If the chapter wants to get local business sponsors, it must get the approval of ICRI.

27 Co-Sponsorship – In the case of co-sponsorship, such as contributing to the Welcoming Reception at an ICRI convention, the chapter pays an agreed upon amount. The chapter must commit to the sponsorship in writing.

Note: ICRI recognizes all chapters who co-sponsor social events at ICRI conventions and Annual Meetings.

Chapters Holding Product Demonstrations at ICRI Conventions – October 2002 Chapters must abide by the following guidelines, if interested in having a product or equipment demonstration at an ICRI convention.  The host chapter is solely responsible for the demonstration criteria.

 The chapter must make the request for this program to the Meetings and Conventions Committee at least one year in advance.

 ICRI headquarters will be responsible for providing transportation to the demonstration site (if necessary) and marketing the event.

 The chapter must provide and agenda and final plan for the demonstrations to the Meetings and Conventions Committee at least one convention prior to the planned event.

Insurance – April 2002 Normal chapter operations are insured under the blanket ICRI liability policy. Each chapter has a letter from ICRI International’s insurance provider, explaining the chapter’s insurance policy. If your chapter needs a copy of this letter, please contact the ICRI International office.

Chapter Start-Up Cost Reimbursement – April 1990 ICRI will reimburse local chapters up to $400 for miscellaneous start-up expenses such as postage, printing, etc. These payments are made promptly upon receipt by the ICRI office of copies of paid invoices or receipts, and it is felt that these advance expenditures will not constitute a severe hardship on the local organizers. Please contact the ICRI office with any questions regarding initial funds.

Chapter Kits – October 1999 ICRI will provide each chapter, upon approval of its charter, a chapter kit at no charge. ICRI will charge chapters $100 to replace the kit.

Chapters Access to ICRI Brochures – March 2002 ICRI will provide each chapter 100 ICRI four-color brochures each year, should the chapter need stock. If the chapter wishes to acquire more than 100 in any year, the chapter can purchase extra brochures for $75 per 100, to cover printing costs.

Charging Chapter Delegates – March 2002

28 Elected chapter delegates of any ICRI convention are required to attend both the Inter- Chapter Lunch Forum and Chapter Committee meeting. If the delegate fails to attend both of these events, ICRI will invoice the chapter for the full registration fee.

To ensure the delegate and chapter officers are aware of this responsibility, ICRI will send a letter to the delegate and the chapter officers, reminding them of this policy. If the delegate can’t make one or both events, substitute attendees from the same chapter – on a case-by-case basis – can be proposed to the Chapter Committee chair and chapter relations coordinator. This must be done prior to the forum and meeting.

Chapter Annual Reports – October 2002 Each chapter is required to file an annual report with ICRI no later than May 15th of each year. The purpose of this report is to summarize the chapter's activities for the year, list its current officers and directors and provide a financial report as required by the ICRI by-laws.

The failure to submit this very important report may result in the withholding of chapters dues reimbursement checks by ICRI.

Inactive Chapter Protocol – March 2003 If a chapter has not had any activity in close to a year, the chapter coordinator reports the chapter to the Chapters Committee. The coordinator will report on communications he has had with the chapter, including unreturned phone calls, e-mails, etc.

The Chapters Committee chair will contact the chapter officers and board members via letter and a follow-up phone call, informing them that the committee is concerned with their lack of activity and that the chapter may have its charter revoked.

The letter will establish a time line of goals the committee would like the chapter to achieve.

If the chapter still hasn't met the Chapter Committee’s goals by the set deadline, the ICRI president will send a letter to all of the chapter’s members, giving them an extended deadline to fulfill the committee's requirements.

If the chapter members do not meet all of the established goals by the extended deadline, the ICRI board has the right to revoke the chapter’s charter.

Host Chapters Promoting Conventions to Local Colleges -- March 2003 Chapters hosting ICRI conventions, even if they are not planning a special event, need to contact local colleges and universities with concrete or concrete repair programs to promote the convention. Chapters are encourage, but not required, to sponsor one or more students to attend the convention.

The President of the Institute may, by notification to all committee members, call a meeting of the Fellows Committee at other times or in conjunction with the Annual Membership Meeting.

Meetings of the committee during the Spring Convention shall primarily be for the purpose of identifying potential candidates for Fellows, so nominating documentation can be initiated. The meeting of the Fellows Committee during the Fall Convention shall be primarily for the purpose of voting to recommend to approve or disapprove nominations received.

If the Fellows Committee fails to meet during the Fall Convention or meets without a quorum present, all properly completed Fellows nominations received from the chapters and members shall be delivered to the Board of Directors without recommendation.

32 3. Quorum

Voting at the meeting may be by oral affirmation, show of hands, or if requested by any committee member, by secret ballot. In case of tie votes, the Committee Chair shall cast the deciding vote.

5. Committee Membership.

In an effort to encourage participation of a cross section of Fellows, regardless of tenure, membership on the Fellows Committee shall be rotated. Committee members will serve for a term of two years (except for the first year, where one- half of the committee members will serve one-year terms). Committee members may not serve consecutive terms.

The method of committee membership rotation shall be as follows: A list of ICRI Fellows shall be prepared, organized by year of designation, starting with the year 1999. The list shall then be divided sequentially into groups of six individuals. In the first year, the first individual within each group will be appointed to serve a one year term, the second individual within each group will be appointed to serve a two year term. In subsequent years, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth individuals will be appointed in sequence to serve two-year terms. The year following the appointment of the last individual in the group, the first individual in the group shall be reappointed and the rotation will begin again.

The sequence of the Fellows list or the groups shall not be altered except for the addition of newly designated Fellows at the end of the list, and removal from the list of individuals who are no longer members in good standing of the association.

Should any Fellow leave the membership of the association and subsequently reinstate that membership, that Fellow’s name will be returned to the list in its original position.

33 Should the membership in any group fall to three or fewer, the group shall be merged with the following or preceding group, whichever has fewer members. If groups are merged, Fellows from both groups currently serving on the committee will continue their term(s) on the committee. After merger, the combined group will revert to one appointment per year and the sequence of appointments will follow that of the group into which the smaller group was merged.

Should any Fellow be unwilling or unable to serve on the committee during his rotation, that individual will be passed over until his next rotation and the next individual in sequence shall be appointed.

Committee members are expected to be present at the meetings scheduled during the ICRI Spring and Fall Conventions. Fellows who do not expect to be present for these meetings should indicate that they are unable to serve on the committee.

6. Committee Officers

The incoming President of the association shall appoint a Fellow of the Association to serve as the Fellows Committee Chair for a term of one year.

The unwritten rule apart from above is if someone wants to give a page or two of the document to someone else, this is generally allowable, but any type of mass reproductions are not. When you reproduce entire documents, you are depriving ICRI of income generated from sales, and our income from publication sales helps support many of our non-income generating programs.
