As a non-profit 501(c)(7) Washington corporation, we are required to make available to our members the tri-annual minutes of our Board of Directors meetings, as well as our financial and other corporate records. Most of those documents are included below, the rest are available upon request.

This document was approved by the state of California on July 17, 2022 and is our primary operating document for legal purposes with the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS granted AANR-NORTHWEST tax-exempt status, however, because we are classified as a 501(c)(7) corporation, member dues and donations are not deductible to its members.

This document describes how we are to run our day-to-day club including a description of the duties of officers, Board members, and each committee. This document gets amended from time to time as needed. Almost all policy resolutions do not rise to this amendment level, however, and can be found instead in the Minutes of the Board of Directors.

The Procedure Manual spells out how we do specific tasks described more generally in the AANR-Northwest By-Laws. Examples: the specific duties of each of the region’s officers, how we run our elections each year, and the specific responsibilities of each of the region’s standing committees.
