Governance Policy

Document retention and responsible records.

NAOIM will maintain records in a manner that supports accountability, continuity, privacy, and legal compliance.

Retention

Corporate, governance, financial, tax, personnel, program, membership, and communications records will be retained according to approved schedules and applicable requirements. Permanent records will include formation documents, board minutes, tax filings, and material policies.

Secure disposal and legal holds

Records that no longer require retention will be disposed of securely. Destruction will be suspended when records may be relevant to litigation, an audit, an investigation, or another legal hold.
