Our Goals

Meaningful change will take several years. The petitions are a first step.

Beyond the petitions, we are working toward three lasting goals:

1. Accountable leadership

A Board committed to transparency and to following the Bylaws. Bylaws that keep financial authority separate from executive authority, no matter who holds either office.

2. Sound policies and controls

Policies and procedures suited to the Society’s size today, including independent financial review, dual control over funds, and direct Financial Review Committee access to the Society’s accounts.

3. Protected reserves

Long-term reserves and legacy gifts kept separate from day-to-day operations, with firm limits on withdrawals and annual reporting to members.

We want an NSS in which the rules apply equally to everyone, decisions can withstand scrutiny, financial stewardship is responsible, members are treated with respect, and leadership earns the trust of its membership.
