100-1.1 (Divisions are requested to submit an annual report to the Council. The report should cover activities of the division during the year, special projects undertaken, and new committees created, and may include motions appropriate for action by Council. In addition, the secretary of each division is responsible for such reports on membership, elections, and dues as are set forth in other parts of these rules.) On or about February 1 of each year, Divisions shall submit to the Board of Directors a report that covers the activities of the Division during the preceding year. The report shall be in a format requested by the Recording Secretary.

100-1.2 (Divisions shall submit an annual financial report and an annual report of business transacted. The format of such reports shall be as simple as possible, and there shall be uniformity among divisions with respect to the material constituting the financial report and the time period covered by such report.) The annual report of the Division shall cover financial activities (including a copy of the division's annual tax return.), membership, elections, special projects undertaken during the year, new committees, new chapters and sections, political advocacy, interorganizational linkages, and such other matters as may be required to present an accurage accounting of the Division's activities during the reporting period.

100-1.3 The Board of Directors shall inform Divisions of activities that appear to be out of compliacne with the Bylaws, Association Rules or policies of the Association. Continued failure or refusal to comply with these requirements may constitute good and sufficient reason for the imposition of sanctions. Including the dissolution of a Division by the Council of Representatives. The Board shall seek to resolve issues of concern with Divisions on an informal basis before placing the issue on Council's action agenda.

100-1.4 Every 5 years, the Board of Directors shall evaluate the records of each Division for overall compliance with the Bylaws, Association Rules, and APA policies and report the results of these evaluations to the Council of Representatives.

In the development of such standars or guidelines, the division shall inform all other divisions and state/provincial psychological associations of guidelines in progress and invite expert commentary and consultation on them. The draft version of division standards and guidelines shall be forwarded to the Executive Office. The draft version of division standards and guidelines shall be forwarded to the Executive Office for publication in The APA Monitor providing notice of a 90-day comment period and Instructions for receipt of comments. All standards and guidelines shall be forwarded to the Executive Office for legal review.

If the legal review reveals undue risks to APA, a Division shall not promulgate such standard or guideline until the CEO determines that a subsequent draft does not expose APA to undue legal risk. The legal review will be conducted in a timely manner.

If it is determined that there is no undue legal risk, a Divisioin may promulgate the standard or guideline as representative of Division policy, making it clear that the division or other unit is not speaking for the APA or for any other division or unit of APA. If the Division wishes the standard or guideline to represent APA policy, Council approval must be obtained.
