“MEMBERS”

“The members elect the vice president and two directors of the governing board on an annual basis.”

“Any changes and amendments to the constitution and the by-laws are subject to the approval of the members.”

“A copy of the 990 is posted to the board website for all the board of directors, presenting them with the opportunity to review and raise any issues or changes necessary at the annual board meeting. After all issues or changes, if any, have been addressed, the form 990 is then presented to the treasurer for signature and filing.”

“In addition to the annual requirement to disclose any conflicts of interest, the board also monitors and enforces the compliance with the conflict of interest policy on a more regular basis. At the beginning of every board meeting, the executive director asks all the members present if they have a conflict of interest with any of the items on the agenda for the meeting.”

“The process begins with an independent negotiation between the executive director and the president, who is the spokesperson for the executive committee. The executive committee then uses the negotiations along with other comparability data (asae salary survey) to determine the compensation of the executive director.”

“The organization's forms 1023, 990, and 990-t are available for public inspection upon request.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
