Policy

Please take time to review the AZISWA Constitution as well as the policies and procedures that guide the decision-making process of the Board. This document depicts the rules by which the entity will operate and the restrictions, powers, and duties of its officers and board members.   In addition to Federal requirements, all Non-Profits and Charities in the State of Washington must follow specific State guidelines and it is a good idea to become familiar with them. Most States have codified Non-Profit Board responsibilities under three main “duties”: Care, Loyalty and Obedience.
