Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6
The Association has three classes of members: members, associates, and institutions. The Members of the Association shall constitute the final authority of the Association, and shall elect from their number the elected officers of the Association.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a
The Executive Board is elected through a general election process, voted on by the entire membership.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11
The Association's Controller provides the financial data for the federal Form 990 and 990-T to the public accounting firm. The Association's Finance committee meets by conference call with the Association's Controller and Deputy Executive Director/CFO to review the federal Form 990 draft before filing. The draft is reviewed line by line and any significant changes from the prior year are discussed. The Chair of the Finance committee who also serves as Treasurer reports on the federal Form 990 review to the Executive Board (which is the entire Board) at their next meeting, prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
The conflict of interest policy is provided to all staff, Executive Board members, Association officers and members of the nominations committee, finance committee, audit committee, awards committee and resource development committee. These listed committees all sign the policy acknowledging that they read the policy. In subsequent years, on an annual basis, the conflict of interest policy will be mentioned and any potential issues documented during the Board meeting. New staff and executive board members are asked to sign the policy as part of their orientation process. In the event that a potential conflict is identified the Executive Director will consider (possibly with advice from legal counsel) the issue, determine if a conflict exists, and if so identify the course of action. In the event that the conflict occurs within the leadership, the Association President will be notified and participate in the review and resolution of the matter.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a
The Executive Director is the only officer who receives compensation. An annual review is conducted by the President. An evaluation form is sent to staff, members of the Executive Board, heads of sections and the Association's committee chairs who are asked to complete the form and return it to the President. All responses are confidential. The Executive Director is asked to provide a summary of his/her accomplishments. Comparative compensation data is compiled by the Deputy Executive Director/CFO and sent to the President. The President compiles the responses and salary information and reports to the Executive Board at their annual meeting in the fall during a closed session. The Executive Board determines the Executive Director's compensation during this meeting. Near the conclusion of the closed session the Executive Director is asked to join the discussion. The decision is documented in the Board minutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19
The Association makes its audited financial statements available to the public by posting them on its website and in the annual report. The governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request.
