Good guessing - it proved to be "dead on target". Ditto for whom to report to (I've already reported, officially, to Mary Todd who collects hours for the CRLG - the "umbrella" guild for the BMA demo). Here comes "from the top" (Jo Ann is the past -recent past - President of IOLI) *and* CC-d to the current one; I knew if I tossed the question on Arachne (lace) it would get answered comprehensively :)
Please note her response regarding foreign members (and we do have regional directors for outside of US - they're listed in the masthead of every Bulletin). Jean Nathan has already told us that demoing does *not* count towards improving the tax status of a group in UK, so we know that UK members wouldn't be "double dipping". The rest (like Liz) would have to check with their regional directors.

Hi Tamara!
There seems to be some confusion on Arachne or Lace chat about the reporting of demonstration hours for IOLI so I'll see if I can clarify it as a past president.
IOLI 501c3 tax status is granted on an educational basis. We keep records of charter chapter demonstration hours in case the educational mission of the organization is ever questioned. Demonstration hours are reported to your regional director and they include them in their annual report. Hours can be reported by charter chapters or by independent individual members. Foreign members can also report their hours - it helps further demonstrate our mission.
If you have further questions, please contact our current IOLI president, Louise Colgan. She is copied on this email.
Hope to see you in Denver.
