13C.1 The Executive may, by majority vote, resolve to pay a honorarium to an individual
who has rendered specific, identifiable services to the Community that are materially beyond
their normal duties as an officer, manager, or member. A honorarium is a recognition of
extraordinary contribution and is not a salary, wage, or contractual payment.

13C.3 Honorarium payments are made in recognition of services rendered and do not
constitute a distribution of surplus funds. They are consistent with the Community’s not-for-
profit status, provided they remain reasonable and proportionate to the services performed.
