MISSION
1. Encourage and support community development of Macedonians in the United States of America (U.S.).
2. Promote the Macedonian culture in the U.S.
3. Protect the ethnic Macedonian identity and name.
4. Outreach and awareness regarding Macedonian rights, needs and interests worldwide.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
1. LOMA members will never solicit general funds. The only fundraising initiatives will coincide with other Macedonian individuals’ or organizations’ fundraising efforts to support a particular and specific initiative or issue.
2. All LOMA members will conduct themselves honestly, truthfully, and with integrity. LOMA members will not promote or support hate-based ideologies.
MEMBERSHIP
1. All individuals of ethnic Macedonian background who were born or live in the U.S. can become members.
2. There is no fee for membership. But all members must confirm that they agree to uphold LOMA’s Mission and abide by LOMA’s Guiding Principles.
OPERATIONS
1. Except for the first Board members, who will serve an initial term of 4 years, three (3) Board members will be elected every four (4) years by LOMA members. The three (3) individuals with the most votes will serve on the Board. The election process will be determined by the Board prior to elections.
2. A member must get approval from one (1) Board member before using the LOMA name in advancement of LOMA’s mission. LOMA Board members cannot approve or support an initiative that does not fall under one of the four categories described in its Mission.
3. The Board may revoke a member’s membership if the individual violates LOMA’s Guiding Principles or works in opposition to LOMA’s mission.
