Chapter

SUNA chapter officers can access a list of their chapter members via the SUNA website. Follow these directions to access a list of your chapter members.

• Each chapter must apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a federal tax identification number (this is a 9 digit number).
• To apply for an EIN, go to www.irs.gov.
• Instructions for completing the form can be found at www.irs.gov/instructions (select SS-4 in html or pdf format).
• There is no charge to apply for an EIN.

• In order to maintain active SUNA chapter status, a chapter must have six SUNA national members, submit a report on the activities in the chapter 60 days prior to each Board of Directors meeting, hold one meeting annually (this does not have to offer contact hours), and complete part 1 of the Chapter Review Form annually.

• All chapters must submit bylaws to the SUNA National Office at the time they are requesting chapter affiliation.
• Chapters may adapt the current national bylaws or request a copy of another chapter’s bylaws to assist them in creating bylaws for their chapter.
• Chapter bylaws must be reviewed / revised as necessary and submitted to the National Office where they will be kept on file.
