The web page for the Company is [http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=9 here], and the web page for the [[Rule of the Company]] is [http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=41 here].
'''The Noble Company of the Rose and all property and funds (whether derived from dues or otherwise) belong to The Augustan Society, Inc., whose operations are governed by its Bylaws and Standing Rules. The Society's Board of Directors shall confirm appointments to the Rose Council, and delegates to that Council such powers only as are referred to in this Charter, in the Rule of the Company, and by resolutions of the Board. No Member of the Company is liable for any charge, responsibility, or encumbrance other than his dues to the Company, nor is he entitled to any right, privilege, or service other than those set out in the Rule of the Company.'''
==Rule of the Company== To avoid duplication and the possibility for confusion, the official copy of the Rule of the Company is posted on the main website at <augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=41>. ==Purpose==
The statutory and published purposes of the Noble Company and its members are:
*Maintaining and funding a [[Chapel of the Rose|chapel]] at Headquarters, when possible.
==Meetings in Chapter==
The Members of the Noble Company shall meet annually in Chapter at the call of the ''[[Magister Rosae]]''. A quorum is the majority of the Members in good standing. The sole item of business appropriate to such meetings is the election of the ''Magister Rosae'' for the coming year. In years when no meeting in Chapter is held, the [[Rose Administrator]] will arrange for such election by mail ballot in concert with the Society's annual election.
==Administration==
These six senior officers sit as the [[Rose Council]]:
The Company operates under a [[Rule of the Company|Charter and Rule of the Company]] granted by the [[Board|Board of Directors]].
==Finance==
The monies held in trust for the Noble Company by the Society include several funds:
Normally, once monies are transferred from the Rose General Fund to one of the others, those monies are restricted to those purposes, and may not be recalled or reassigned. One can imagine situations where such might be appropriate, but one would expect such action to require a 2/3 vote of the [[Rose Council]].
