2026 Member Agreement & Verification Form

I hereby certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief as a representative of my corporation at the time of completion of this membership application, that the information in which I have voluntarily provided is true and accurate. 

Membership dues to the Rhode Island Partnership for Home Care (hereafter referred to as “The Partnership”) are not deductible as charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments are deductible by members as an ordinary and necessary business expense except for the percent applicable from dues used for lobbying and legal representation on behalf of or by The Partnership. The non-deductible percentage of dues for 2026 is estimated to be approximately fifteen percent (15%).

All proprietary data collected by The Partnership will not be individually shared by The Partnership’s staff or consultants with other members of The Partnership or the public without direct consent from the member. All data collected will be used at the discretion of the Executive Director in aggregate for lobbying and legal purposes, public relations initiatives and for individual membership listings in any and all collateral materials that promote each member corporation.

In accordance with applicable regulations by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), I authorize The Partnership with permission to contact my corporation and its staff as listed and designated in this application by mail, telephone, text, facsimile, social media and email in order to provide information on all events, services, products, advocacy or other activities and initiatives by The Partnership. 

My corporation agrees and will adhere to The Partnership’s membership code of ethics. If my corporation is non-compliant with the code of ethics or a state or federal law or regulation without remediated action, my corporation may be subject to loss of any or all of its membership rights and benefits as deemed by The Partnership’s Board of Directors. If The Partnership’s Board of Directors is considering revocation of my corporation’s membership, my corporation has the right to send authorized representatives to meet with the Board of Directors to appeal any action related to my corporation’s membership status before revocation of membership is finalized in accordance with The Partnership’s bylaws.

I understand that my corporation is expected to honor this membership commitment through the remainder of the membership year as listed at the beginning of this application. Membership dues are deemed due and owing in full upon completion of this application under the terms as offered by The Partnership and selected by me, as a representative of my corporation at the time of completion of this application. If a member terminates membership at any time during this membership year, any and all outstanding unpaid dues for the membership year shall be due in full upon resignation or termination of membership. No refund of any portion of membership dues within this membership year shall be made to any member upon resignation or termination of membership. Corporations that merge, including two or more of The Partnership’s members, are required to pay membership dues as subject to the terms of the agreement at the time in which the application is submitted for the remainder of the membership year. If my corporation fails to remit payments under the terms as offered by The Partnership and selected by me, as a representative of my corporation at the time of completion of this application, my corporation may be subjected to collections at the full and complete cost of my agency for all expenses incurred by The Partnership in pursuit of all membership dues owed to The Partnership by my corporation.

I, as a representative of my corporation, agree to be bound to the terms and conditions of membership into The Partnership, included but not limited to the terms of this payment and policy agreement.
