Action is taken under this section only if the affirmative vote for the action equals or exceeds the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the action at a meeting at which all of the directors then in office were present and voted. An action taken pursuant to this section will not be effective unless the Secretary of the Corporation receives writings describing the action taken, satisfying the above requirements, signed by all of the directors, and not revoked by any director. Any requirement of a writing may be satisfied by Electronic Transmission, as defined below, provided that any such Electronic Transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the Electronic Transmission was authorized by the director sending the Electronic Transmission. “Electronic Transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such recipient through an automated process.

Section 11.1. The Contract. Upon approval by the AMCAP Board of Directors, the President is authorized to enter into a CONTRACT with a group of AMCAP members from a geographic region to form a Satellite Chapter of AMCAP (CHAPTER). The CONTRACT shall contain clauses covering the following issues at a minimum.

Section 11.2. Membership. All members of the chapter shall be members of AMCAP.

Section 11.3. Separate Legal Entities. AMCAP and CHAPTER are separate legal entities. CHAPTER is not and shall not be considered a partner, joint venture, subsidiary, legal representative, or agent of AMCAP. At no time shall CHAPTER act or represent themselves to be acting in any of these capacities. Neither AMCAP nor CHAPTER shall have the right or power to bind or obligate the other party in any manner, and shall not make, or represent that it has the power to make, any contract, agreement, representation, warranty or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. Neither AMCAP nor CHAPTER shall be liable for any act, error, omission, debt, or other liability or obligation of the other.

Section 11.4. Taxes. CHAPTER shall obtain their own tax identification number, file and pay all of their own taxes, if any or obtain their own tax-exempt status.

Section 11.5. Governing Board. CHAPTER shall have a governing board of which at least 65% are fully licensed mental health professionals, be a medical doctor, or hold a Ph.D.in psychology.

Section 11.6. Annual Report. CHAPTER shall submit annually to the AMCAP executive Secretary a report consisting of a list of current officers and committee chairs; a roster of current members including names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, medical and mental health licenses held and education if no license is held; a financial report showing the previous years cash receipts and disbursements and a statement of assets and liabilities.

Section 11.7. Indemnification. CHAPTER and AMCAP agree to mutually indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from any and all claims, loss, liabilities, damages, costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs) that AMCAP, CHAPTER or any of AMCAP’s or CHAPTER ‘s past, present, or future officers, directors or employees incurs as a result of the acts or omissions of the other or the breach of this Agreement by either.

Section 11.8. Distinction Between CHAPTER and AMCAP. The distinction between CHAPTER and AMCAP must be maintained. Communication by a CHAPTER and its officers or members, in correspondence, reports, or other materials, must always identify the CHAPTER by name. The use of AMCAP’s name and logo and the AMCAP acronym by the CHAPTER must always include the name of the CHAPTER (not just the AMCAP name) so as not to confuse communications from AMCAP with those of CHAPTER, especially when communicating with the general public.

Section 11.9. Governing Law. The Contract shall be governed by the laws of the state of Utah.
