Common use of PARTNER DUTIES Clause in Contracts

PARTNER DUTIES. The parties to this Partner Agreement accept the Purpose and the Statement of Mutual Benefit and Interest herein and will undertake to advance those efforts as follows. The Partner shall. A. Follow the objectives of the PRISM following New York State law and regulations which define and regulate invasive species. Those laws include the Legislative Finding that “invasive plant and animal species pose an unacceptable risk to New York State’s environment and economy” where an “invasive species” is defined as “a species that is: (a) nonnative to the ecosystem under consideration; and (b) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. For the purposes of this paragraph, the harm must significantly outweigh any benefits.” New York State Environmental Conservation Law §§ 9-1701, 9-1703(10). B. Support the strategic plan of the Lower ▇▇▇▇▇▇ PRISM and work cooperatively with other Partners. C. Be represented at 50% or more of the Partner meetings of the Lower ▇▇▇▇▇▇ PRISM each year. D. Provide the PRISM Coordinator with an annual summary of activities for the annual PRISM report. E. Designate one person to represent the Partner. A Partner can change their designated representative by notifying the PRISM Coordinator. F. Recognize that each Partner organization will only have one vote on PRISM issues regardless of the number of representatives from that organization present at a meeting. G. Accept that if a Partner fails to meet any of these duties they may be removed as a Partner. They may then be reinstated as a Partner after going through a probationary period of one year, where they successfully meet the above duties. H. Accept that a Partner may apply for a hiatus from membership that will excuse them on a one year probationary period, by giving notice to the PRISM Coordinator that they will temporarily be unable to meet the necessary duties for membership. During that time, however, the Partner must still provide a summary of activities (Item III.D above) to the PRISM Coordinator. Failure to do so may result in membership status being revoked.
