Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

Chapter membership consists of all persons who are members of the society and who reside within (or who have previously resided within and have indicated that they wish to retain their membership) the chapter's territory. The chapter holds a meeting of its members annually for the purposes of electing a board of trustees, considering the treasurer's report of the accounts of the chapter (subject to audit and adjustment) and any other reports that may be presented, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

The chapter's audit committee reviews and approves the irs form 990 and accompanying schedules prior to distribution to the entire board. A copy of the irs form 990 and accompanying schedules is provided to the entire board with a period for providing comments, edits or corrections prior to submission to the irs.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

12c - on an annual basis, chapter management reviews the conflict of interest forms filed by trustees, officers and employees for potential conflicts. Potential conflicts of interest are presented to the chapter's audit committee for review. Where conflicts exist, a conflict resolution report is created and the trustee, officer or employee is not allowed to participate in any vote or discussion of the disclosed matter. At the current time, no potential conflicts of interest have been identified.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

15a - a compensation committee for each chapter, which is comprised of at least three but no more than five independent trustees, determines the compensation of the chapter president and other key employees. The national organization provides each chapter with internal and external salary data for the chapter president and reviews and provides input on the chapter president compensation recommendations for other key positions based upon comparable budget size and geographical location. 15b - in addition, the chapter president's performance is evaluated annually in a joint review process including the regional executive vice president and the local compensation committee of local trustees. The chapter president conducts performance evaluations for key employees and the outcome is shared with the compensation committee to inform the decisions about compensation.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The chapter's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request. The chapter's irs form 990 (and irs form 990-t, if applicable), and financial statements are available on the chapter's website.

Society management has analyzed the tax positions it has taken and has concluded that, as of september 30, 2014, there were no uncertain tax positions taken or are expected to be taken.

The chapter is subject to audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, no audits for any tax periods are currently in progress. Management believes that the chapter is no longer subject to such audits for year ended on or prior to september 30, 2010 under federal and other state tax jurisdictions.

SUBSIDY INCOME 155,000.
