NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS

 

ARTICLE I

 

Name, Organization and Location

 

The name of this corporation is NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS (NAIC). The NAIC is organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The NAIC may have one (1) or more office locations within or without the State of Delaware as the Executive Committee may from time to time determine.

 

ARTICLE II

 

Membership

 

The Membership of the NAIC shall be comprised of those persons designated as members in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each member of the NAIC shall have the power to vote and otherwise participate in the affairs of the NAIC as set forth herein or as required by applicable law. This power may be exercised through a duly authorized representative who shall be a person officially affiliated with the member’s department and who is wholly or principally employed by said department.

 

The organization may charge members an annual assessment, the amount of which shall be determined by the Executive Committee. Members failing to pay all NAIC assessments on a timely basis shall be placed in an inactive status. Members in an inactive status shall not have any voting rights and shall be denied membership on NAIC committees and task forces, access to mailings and services of the NAIC Offices, as well as access to zone examination processes and other benefits of membership in the NAIC.

 

The NAIC’s receipt of full payment from the inactive member of all current and past due assessments shall serve to immediately remove them from inactive status.

 

The Membership of the NAIC shall be subject to a conflict of interest policy and disclosure form as adopted by the members.

The Executive Committee is empowered to reinstate, in part or in whole, an inactive member’s participation on the committees and task forces, access to mailings and services of the NAIC Offices and satellite offices, as well as access to zone examination processes, and other benefits of membership in the NAIC upon good cause shown as determined by the Executive Committee.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Officers

 

The officers of the NAIC shall be a President, a President-Elect, a Vice President, and a Secretary-Treasurer. Annual officer elections shall be held at the last regular National Meeting of each calendar year or at such other plenary session as agreed to by the members. The voting membership, by secret ballot, shall elect officers as provided in these Bylaws. Officers’ terms shall be for one year, beginning on January 1 following their election. The officers shall hold office until their death, resignation, removal or the election and qualification of their successors, whichever occurs first. Any Officer may resign at any time by giving notice thereof in writing to the President of the NAIC. Any such resignation will take effect upon delivery if no date is specified, or as of its date, unless some other date is specified therein, in which event it will be effective as of that date. The acceptance of that resignation will not be necessary to make it effective.

 

If an interim vacancy occurs in the office of President, the President-Elect shall cease to hold his or her office effective immediately and shall assume the office of President. If an interim vacancy occurs in any one or more of the other officer positions, an interim election shall be held to fill the vacancy. No member may hold any office for more than two consecutive years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall more than two officer positions be filled by members of the same Zone during the same term. Any officer may be removed from office by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the members, but only after a resolution for removal is adopted by two-thirds (2/3) of the Executive Committee whenever, in their judgment, the best interests of the NAIC would be served thereby.

 

The President shall serve as Chairman of the Executive Committee and shall preside at all special and regular meetings of the members. The President shall serve as the leader of the organization and its principal spokesperson. The President shall work closely with the Executive Committee to establish and achieve the strategic, business and operational goals of the organization; ensure appropriate policies and procedures for the organization are implemented and followed; and protect the integrity as well as the resources of the organization. After a member completes his or her term or terms as President, he or she shall not be able to hold another officer position for a period of twelve (12) months from the date such member completes his or her term or terms as President, which shall be referred to as a "waiting period"; provided however, the Executive Committee may waive the twelve month waiting period if warranted by exigent circumstances.

The President-Elect shall serve as Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee. In the absence of the President at a duly convened meeting of the Executive Committee or at a regular or special meeting of the members, the President-Elect shall preside over such meeting to the extent of the President’s absence. The President-Elect shall perform such other duties and tasks as may be assigned by the President. Where the President does not run for re-election, the President-Elect shall become President at the conclusion of the President’s term of office.

 

The Vice President, in the absence of the President and President-Elect at a duly convened meeting of the Executive Committee or at a regular or special meeting of the members, shall preside over such meeting to the extent of the President’s and the President-Elect’s absence; and shall perform such other duties as may be assigned by the President or President-Elect, or in the absence thereof, by the Executive Committee.

 

The Secretary-Treasurer shall assist the President and, as applicable, the President-Elect or the Vice President in the conduct of meetings of the Executive Committee and members. For member meetings, the Secretary-Treasurer shall call the roll of the membership and certify the presence of a quorum and shall receive, validate and maintain all proxies for elections held at member meetings. The Secretary-Treasurer shall also recommend to the Executive Committee such policies and procedures to maintain the history and continuity of the NAIC. The Secretary- Treasurer shall also assist the President and President-Elect in all matters relating to the budget, accounting, expenditure and revenue practices of the NAIC; including, but not limited to reviewing the financial information of the organization and consulting with NAIC management, independent auditors, and other necessary parties regarding the financial operations and condition of the organization.
