(an Ohio corporation) manages all aspects of the organization's operations in accordance with the organization's bylaws and policies. Operations may include but are not limited to administration, membership, finance and accounting, convention/trade show/meeting planning, education, marketing, information technology, and government relations. At all times such delegated responsibilities are adequately supervised by the Board consistent with the Board members' fiduciary obligations. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 | The membership of AmSAT consists of Voting Members and Non-Voting Members. Individuals must be trained and certified as an Alexander Teacher to become a Voting Member. Non-Voting Members include students, associates, international, and non-practicing teachers. Voting membership rights are at all times subject to the Bylaws and membership policies and practices of the organization. Voting Members have the right to vote pursuant to AmSAT's Bylaws and will have all other rights and privileges extended to Voting Members by the organization. The Voting Members elect the members of the governing body. The Voting Members do not approve significant decisions of the governing body. The Voting Members cannot receive a share of the organization's profits or net assets upon the organization's dissolution. | |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The independent accountant prepares Form 990 and related schedules based on the information provided by the organization's Treasurer and Management Company.

Although the formal Conflict of Interest Policy was not in place during 2010, the Board has since adopted and implemented the Policy. | |
