New Identity
Although the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS) was founded in 2015, over 97% of its members are former members of the Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) which was founded in 1994 by Dr. John Chappell, Neil E Munch, and others. The CNPS purposely took the name of it's original president and founder to ensure that everyone would know that the group's philosophy would continue Dr. Chappell's legacy. The group also rebranded itself with a new logo 'phi' and purchased the domain name naturalphilosophy.org.
After a dispute between directors and members in 2013, over 97% of the NPA membership publicly demanded the resignation of the director and secretary at the time. Refusing to resign, more directors defected and eventually the director in charge left the organization with only a skeleton directorship. The NPA is still owner of the website http://www.worldnpa.org but only has a handful of members who no longer seem to be active.
For all intents and purposes, the CNPS and its memberships can be considered as a continuation of the NPA. At this point, it looks like the NPA will eventually will fold.
The CNPS has incorporated as a 170(c)(2)(B) organization, different from the 501(3)(c) of the NPA and has also written its operating agreement in such a way that the membership can at anytime, remove directors, thus solving the problem
