Association of Ski Defense Attorneys Inc

“The association of ski defense attorneys was formed in 1987 when many, if not most 501(c)(3) organizations had members or stockholders. Even thought this organization has members, it conducts itself with the highest fiduciary standards as if there were no members. All officers and directors serve without compensation. All expenses of officers and directors must be apporved by the treasurer and one other director.”

“All members in good standing may vote for the board of directors.”

“The decision to liquidate or merge must be approved by the members. The board of directors keep contemporaneous minutes of all of its meetings.”

“All members have access to the form 990 before it is filed by the organizations treasurer.the tax return (form 990) is prepared by its cpa. The cpa must complete the return at least one week before the extended due date. Once the return is finalized, it is delivered to the organizations treasurer/director louis tilton (who keeps all company records and serves as a volunteer (unpaid) treasurer/director.) the treasurer submits the return to the board of directors at the next board meeting and informs the board of any issues raised by the cpa for their discussion.”

“The return is available to all members and the public prior to the filing; but, there is no distribution of the return (form 990) until it is presenterd and approved by the board at its regular scheduled meeting.”

“Upon request, any person will have access to the organizations governing documents, conflict of interest policy (when adopted) and financial statements, ie, form 990.”
