CHAPTER ADVISORY TEAM UPDATE
Greetings Chapter Presidents, leaders, and members,
Spring is around the corner! The deadline for annual chapter reports is fast approaching. The deadline to submit your reports to NAON and your CAT representative is April 1st . You will also need to complete and submit the 990 EZ post card for your chapter on line.
Did you participate in the NAON lunch and learn in February to receive verbal and visual instruction on completing and submitting your reports? It was very helpful. If you did not and you are scrambling and struggling do not hesitate to contact your CAT representative or the NAON office at 1-800-289-6266 for assistance.
Will we see you at Congress in Tampa? Registration is now open. Congress is a great learning experience; the knowledge gained will stimulate personal and professional growth in your area of expertise and your orthopedic community. Please plan on joining us in Tampa.
Julie Twiss, RN, BSN, ONC
CAT Chair

ANNUAL REPORT INFORMATION
Reports Due April 1st!
Included here is a "How To" guide for completing the annual reports for your Chapter's status and health in 2009. All forms are due to the National Office (lquinze@smithbucklin.com) and your CAT Representative no later than April 1, 2009. Forms recieved after this date will not be eligible for reimbursement, even if all other requirements are met.
IRS Reporting in 2009
Reminder: Due to changes in the IRS reporting requirements for 2008 for activity in 2007, all tax-exempt organizations are required to complete Form 990. Though the Form 990 is not included here, completing both tabs of the Financial Report will provide all the data you will need to complete the 990. All Chapters must complete this form in order to maintain tax-exempt status. No Chapter will be covered under a NAON group exemption.
