Last month Benny Ellerbe, Executive Director, Optimist International informed Optimist Clubs that the organization will remain under the IRS designation 501 (c) (4) reserved for social welfare organizations.
In order to comply with IRS guidelines, all Optimist Clubs must adjust their bylaws. Thanks to the online system at Optimist Leaders, this is a very simple process. Please review this tutorial before you start. The Optimist International Member Services Department may be reached at 1-800-500-8130.
