Transparency in structure

Why Delaware
Delaware's General Corporation Law is the most developed body of corporate law in the United States, with a dedicated court of equity and well-settled precedent on nonstock, member-governed corporations. Incorporating there gives the NRRA's members, directors, and the public a predictable legal framework for how the association must be governed — the same reason it is the default home for national associations and standards bodies.
The compliance calendar
A standards body that lectures on accountability must keep its own filings current. The association tracks these obligations on a published calendar:
- Delaware annual report — filed with the Secretary of State by March 1 each year. As a nonstock corporation the NRRA expects exempt-corporation treatment for franchise tax purposes, with the applicable annual report fee. Treatment is confirmed with Delaware counsel at filing.
- Registered agent — maintained continuously in Delaware; any change filed promptly with the Secretary of State.
- IRS annual information return — Form 990 series filed annually once federal recognition is in place.
- Foreign qualification — registration as a foreign corporation in any state where the association's activities require it. The principal office state is assessed first.
- Corporate records — minutes of board and member meetings, written consents, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and the membership register, maintained by the Secretary‑Treasurer.
- Charitable/professional solicitation & state notices — reviewed annually against the states where the association operates. Reviewed with counsel.
Financial transparency
Membership dues, certification fees, and program revenue fund the association's operations. Once the entity's first fiscal year closes, the association will publish an annual summary of revenue and expenditures alongside its annual report to members. Honors and credentials cannot be purchased; no sponsorship or fee buys standing in certification, judging, or ethics review.

This page describes the association's corporate structure for transparency. It is not legal, tax, or investment advice, and it does not create an attorney-client or advisory relationship. The association's counsel reviews this page as filings complete.
