I would consider this:

## CCA Members Have Rights Under Nevada Law

I think it's time the membership understood something about the Casino Collectibles Association. The club belongs to its members, not its Board of Directors. The board is elected to manage the organization on behalf of the membership, not to operate without accountability.

Under **Nevada Revised Statute 82.186**, members of a Nevada nonprofit corporation have certain legal rights to inspect the organization's books of account and financial records.

The law provides that a representative authorized in writing by at least **15% of the membership** can make a formal demand to inspect those records. The statute requires at least five days' written notice, and inspection takes place during normal business hours.

According to the CCA's own membership figures published in its 2025 magazine, the club had 894 members. That means **135 members** would meet the 15% requirement based on those published numbers. The actual number required would depend on the membership count when the request is made.

The law also states that these inspection rights cannot be eliminated through the organization's articles or bylaws.

There is an important exception. Nevada law excludes members of organizations that provide a detailed annual financial statement free of charge. Whether the CCA's published treasurer's reports satisfy that requirement is a legitimate question. The 2023 report I examined lists bank balances, income, expenses and promotional inventory, but does not provide a complete accounting of the organization's assets and liabilities.

Why does this matter?

In June 2023, a CCA representative publicly acknowledged that the club had received donations of casino collectibles with an appraised value of approximately $1 million. Yet I have been unable to reconcile that statement with the club's published financial reports and IRS filings.

I would not be interested in the donor's identity. I would be interested in the club's assets and how they are accounted for.

If members cannot obtain satisfactory financial information through ordinary requests, Nevada law provides a potential avenue for a properly authorized representative to inspect the underlying records. If a qualifying inspection is wrongfully denied, the statute also provides a means of seeking enforcement through the courts.

I'm not suggesting anyone has done anything illegal. I'm suggesting that members have every reason to ask questions about their organization's finances and expect meaningful answers.

**The CCA is a membership organization. Its board serves the membership, not the other way around.**

I encourage every member to read Nevada Revised Statute 82.186 and understand the rights it provides.
