2025 Prevention Council Re-Chartering Agreement

"*" indicates required fields

This document establishes the agreement between Prevent Child Abuse Indiana, a Division of The Villages, (heretofore referred to as "PCAIN") and (type Your Council's Name)

(heretofore referred to as "PCAIN Chartered Council") for the period of January 1st to December 31st.

The Agreement

The agreement between PCAIN and all PCAIN Chartered Councils is based on the mutual understanding that we will continually work together to build a statewide organization and network that enables all sectors of the community to play a significant role in preventing child abuse and neglect.

Mutuality of Agreement

In affirmation of our agreement, both PCAIN and the PCAIN Chartered Council will support and promote one another to the greatest extent possible. It is respectfully understood that each of our activities in some way reflects on Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA) as well as our state and local images. Each entity must take great care to ensure that our actions correspond with the vision, core values, guiding principles and position statements established by PCAA.

PCAIN Responsibilities

PCAIN has a commitment to provide technical assistance to Chartered Councils, resources permitting. Chartered Councils will receive all established benefits, outlined in Appendix A.

Council Responsibilities

Chartered Councils are expected to maintain compliance with the criteria for PCAIN Chartered Councils throughout the charter period (Appendix B). Should there be any major change in a Council’s organization or in its ability to be in compliance with the criteria, the Council agrees to notify PCAIN in writing within sixty (60) calendar days.

The Charter

This charter acknowledges that the PCAIN Chartered Council is in compliance with the criteria of PCAIN and is granted annually. When a charter is granted, the PCAIN Chartered Council will pay a yearly Chartering Fee. Chartering fees are not refundable.
