| Desc | Lotus Music & Dance is a cultural and educational institution dedicated to the teaching, performance and preservation of the dance and music traditions of all world cultures. The activities by our master artists foster artistic development, as well as cultural and social exchange. Our intention is to celebrate and develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures of the world.In 2019-2020, LOTUS served over 5,321 people. LOTUS produced performances and events which attracted a total of 1,082 attendees and online viewers. LOTUS artists participated in 28 events that were presented by other organizations. These workshops and performances reached a combined audience of approximately 4,239 people. This number includes 14 programs in eight public schools, reaching approximately 2,055 school children. Our audiences represent virtually every ethnic community in New York City as well as dance aficionados and scholars of Asian, African, Hispanic and Native American culture. Major LOTUS events in 2019-2020 included Lotus produced performances such as World Dance Festival: Dancing Across Cultural Borders at Manhattan Movement Arts Center,supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, World Dance Passport: Travel the World Through Dance funded by the New York City Councils Cultural Immigrant Initiative and the Eighteenth Annual Drums Along the Hudson: A Native American and Multicultural Celebration, in collaboration with the NYC Park Department.Due to the COVID 19 shutdown in March 2020 all in-person events including World Dance Passport and Drums along the Hudson were cancelled and switched to online presentations.For Drums along the Hudson, a video retrospective of the past 17 years was presented along with our honaree, Poet Laureate of the US, Joe Harjo. In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote, we presented all women performing groups featuring Soles of Duende, a trio of Kathak, Tap and Flamenco. The Retrospective lauched on June 20th on our website and made available until December 31st,2020. It included over 60 native dancers in full regalia who danced to the resounding host drums of Heyna Second Sons and Silver Cloud. Some of the groups featured included the Haudenosaunee Onondaga Singers and Dancers, Kapulli Huehuetlahtolli Aztec Dancers & Drummers, Parijat Desai Dance in the Round, Dancing Crane Georgian DanceTheater, Flamenco y Sol, Kinding Sindaw Filipino Tribal Dance, the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers, Mohawk Elder Tom Porter, New Zealand's Kharungi Maori Dancers, Bermudan Gombey Dancers, Dharmaswara Balinese Gamelan and Dancers, and numerous others.Lotus's programs gave over 133 artists opportunities to present thier art throughout the year, including on television. QPTV's Fade to Black, a program distributed to households across Queens featured Drums Along the Hudson 2019, World Dance Passport and World Dance Festival. Lotus strives to be truly global in outlook and has been of special service to under-represented groups in a way unmatched by other cultural organizations. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 4: Description of Significant Changes to Organizational Documents | Summary of By-Laws UpdatesArticle 4: Section 4.2: Lotuss minimum number of Board of Directors is currently 3 but the New York City model guidelines suggest 5. Given Lotus has never had less than 6 board members, likely makes sense to make the minimum 5 and not have a maximum. Board approves unanimously to approve the minimum to 5 and not have a maximum. Section 4.3: where the duties of the ex-officio directors (Executive Directors) are mentioned, we should change where it says shall to may as we dont currently have an Executive Director. When we do get an executive direction we can then change the bylaws so that they say shall again. Under Section 5.2 we should not have term limits, but each term should be 5 years long so that you have to get revoted every 5 years (and can be revoted indefinitely) Section 5.4 last two sentences of will be removed as they are now inapplicable given board members wont have any term limits Section 8.1: Agree with Jeannes suggestions to remove the following phrases "by yearly resolution of the BoardX and "publishing the date of the meeting on the website of the Corporation" in this section as the Board seems it unnecessary to publicly publish when our board meetings are private. Section 8.2: Should be changed to say that Lotus has 4 regular meetings yearly and delete the phrase: "publishing the dates of the meeting on the website of the Corporation" for the same reasons as Section 8.1. Section 8.3 can be moved to 1 day notice given for Special meetings Section 8.13 Each board member should go through Roberts Rules of Order. Can review here: https://www.boardeffect.com/blog/roberts-rules-of-order-cheat-sheet/ Article 5 (Officers): Currently Chairperson and Secretary cannot be the same so this can be amended such that the President and the Secretary cannot be the same and we will vote Kamala as President. Appendices: Conflict of Interest rules - We do follow conflict of interest rules and whistleblower rules and we go through these points yearly. Lotus will have to make sure we follow this yearly at the last board meeting of the fiscal year. |
