A partner organization is any group of 3 or more persons. The role of the Arkansas River Coalition (ARC) is to be an umbrella of support to these Partners in order to provide sustenance and guidance in fostering protection, restoration and enhancement to the Arkansas River and all tributaries in the watershed.

A Partner can choose any name it wishes for its group, but should not be called a coalition since as a Partner it is under the umbrella of the ARC, a non profit corporation in the state of Kansas.

A Partner may choose its own officers if it so desires, or merely have a leader.

This arrangement infers no legal obligation on the part of the ARC or the Partner.

A Partner shall be encouraged, but not required, to have representation on the ARC board.

Each Partner who is a member in good standing shall have one vote to cast on each vote taken at an ARC meeting of the membership called in accordance with the bylaws. A member in good standing is one whose payment of annual dues is current.

A representative of a Partner group is eligible to hold office in ARC.

ARC will provide Partners with up to ten (10) newsletters each time printed.

ARC will provide newsletter advertising for a Partner's sanctioned events that are in keeping with the mission statement, space permitting, and upon the discretion of the editor.

ARC will assist in promoting floats in the Partner's area by providing expertise and other assistance as can be agreed upon by both parties, ARC Board of Directors and Partner.

Joint events, activities, transactions and business are allowed, as long as the rules of engagement and obligation are written down and agreed upon in advance by persons in authority from the Partner and ARC.
