Legal Disclaimer

The HSPA Executive Board approved the following chapter disclaimer on March 4, 2011: “HSPA is an Illinois corporation exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. Although HSPA’s bylaws make provision for participation by “constituent chapters,” HSPA’s corporate standing is separate and independent of each of those chapters. As such, HSPA has no involvement in, direction over, or responsibility for the business affairs of any chapter. Each chapter is responsible for overseeing and conducting its operations, including without limitation: establishing its organizational existence in compliance with any applicable state law, seeking independent tax-exempt status separate from HSPA; maintaining its own financial accounts, books and records; and submitting its own tax filings independent of HSPA. As a matter of policy, HSPA refrains from any interference in any of the business affairs of any of its constituents so as to, inter alia, specifically preserve the separate and independent identities of the organizations. The only standard to which constituent chapters are held by HSPA is that, as a member of HSPA, the chapter acts in compliance with the bylaws and objectives of HSPA. As such, HSPA disclaims any responsibility, legal or otherwise, for any matter, claim or dispute involving, arising from, or relating to any of the activities or business affairs or operations of any of its constituent chapters.”
