EXPLANATION FOR NOT FILING FORM 990-T
FORM 990, PART V, LINE 3B
THE ORGANIZATION HAS EXTENDED ITS FORM 990-T FOR THE YEAR UNDER THE AUTOMATIC EXTENSION PROVISIONS PROVIDED UNDER THE RULES AND PLANS ON FILING THE RETURN BY THE DUE DATE OF THAT EXTENSION PERIOD.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4
THE LEADERSHIP SUPPORT COUNCIL RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING CHANGE TO THE ASA BY-LAWS, ARTICLE IX (COMMITTEES), PART 2 (MEMBERSHIP): FROM: "ALL MEMBERS OF STANDING COMMITTEES, AS WELL AS THE CHAIRS OF CONTINUING AND AD HOC COMMITTEES, SHALL BE FULL MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION." TO: "ALL MEMBERS OF ASA COMMITTEES WHO ARE APPOINTED BY THE ASA SHALL BE FULL MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION DURING THE TERM OF THEIR APPOINTMENT. EXCEPTIONS FOR CERTAIN COMMITTEES OR COMMITTEE POSITIONS CAN BE GRANTED BY THE LEADERSHIP SUPPORT COUNCIL WHEN APPROPRIATE FOR THE FUNCTION OF THE COMMITTEE." CURRENTLY, ONLY COMMITTEE CHAIRS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ASA MEMBERS. THE LSC RECOMMENDS THAT, WITH CERTAIN SPECIFIC EXCEPTIONS, ASA MEMBERSHIP BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO SERVE ON A COMMITTEE, EFFECTIVE FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHOSE APPOINTMENTS (OR REAPPOINTMENTS) WILL BEGIN IN 2012. VOLUNTEERS WHO SERVE ON COMMITTEES FORM THE BACKBONE OF THE ASA GOVERNANCE INFRASTRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY IN THE REORGANIZED COMMITTEE STRUCTURE. COMMITTEES ARE AN ARM OF THE ASA BOARD, WHICH IS CHARGED WITH THE GOVERNANCE OF THE ASSOCIATION. THUS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS SERVE A CRITICAL ROLE WITHIN THE ASA, AND AS PART OF THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH THIS ROLE, IT SEEMS REASONABLE THAT PEOPLE PROVIDING THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP IN THE ASSOCIATION SHOULD BE MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION. EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO CERTAIN ADVISORY COMMITTEES THAT SPECIFICALLY REQUIRE CERTAIN EXPERTISE THAT IS NOT STATISTICAL. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ENERGY STATISTICS COMMITTEE NEEDS SOME ECONOMISTS, AND THE LAW AND JUSTICE STATISTICS COMMITTEE REQUIRES A FEW CRIMINOLOGISTS. THESE NON-STATISTICIANS ARE SERVING AT THE REQUEST OF THE ASA AND SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY DUES. ALSO, THERE ARE A FEW COMMITTEES WITH MEMBERS APPOINTED FROM OTHER ASSOCIATIONS. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD LIKEWISE NOT BE REQUIRED TO BE MEMBERS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6
