Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The prepared form 990 is reviewed and approved by a committee of the board of directors before the return is filed with the irs.”

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

“All directors and officers complete and sign a statement that provides information regarding their interests and those of their family that could give rise to conflicts. A copy of the ethical/conflict of interest policy is provided by the organization's attorney and responses are reviewed by the organization's attorney. Any person with a conflict is prohibited from participating in the governing body's deliberations and decisions in the transaction.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The president's compensation was determined by having the treasurer, under full authorization from the entire governing body, conduct a review of his responsibilities and negotiate an appropriate compensation. That decision was then ratified by the directors after a full discussion and vote in which the president was not a participant. The vice president's compensation is not for her role as vice president but for her time and management of the digital (web, email, and social media) accounts of the hightower lowdown. Compensation was approved by the president after a comparison of other firms offering similar services were found to be within the range of what other independent publishers pay for said services. Both the president's and the vice president's compensation ended in the spring of 2023 after the print publication of the hightower lowdown was suspended.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

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

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE PREPARED FORM 990 IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BEFORE THE RETURN IS FILED WITH THE IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1ALL DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS COMPLETE AND SIGN A STATEMENT THAT PROVIDES INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR INTERESTS AND THOSE OF THEIR FAMILY THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS. A COPY OF THE ETHICAL/CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS PROVIDED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S ATTORNEY AND RESPONSES ARE REVIEWED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S ATTORNEY. ANY PERSON WITH A CONFLICT IS PROHIBITED FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE GOVERNING BODY'S DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS IN THE TRANSACTION.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION WAS DETERMINED BY HAVING THE TREASURER, UNDER FULL AUTHORIZATION FROM THE ENTIRE GOVERNING BODY, CONDUCT A REVIEW OF HIS RESPONSIBILITIES AND NEGOTIATE AN APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION. THAT DECISION WAS THEN RATIFIED BY THE DIRECTORS AFTER A FULL DISCUSSION AND VOTE IN WHICH THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT A PARTICIPANT. THE VICE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION IS NOT FOR HER ROLE AS VICE PRESIDENT BUT FOR HER TIME AND MANAGEMENT OF THE DIGITAL (WEB, EMAIL, AND SOCIAL MEDIA) ACCOUNTS OF THE HIGHTOWER LOWDOWN. COMPENSATION WAS APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT AFTER A COMPARISON OF OTHER FIRMS OFFERING SIMILAR SERVICES WERE FOUND TO BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF WHAT OTHER INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS PAY FOR SAID SERVICES. BOTH THE PRESIDENT'S AND THE VICE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION ENDED IN THE SPRING OF 2023 AFTER THE PRINT PUBLICATION OF THE HIGHTOWER LOWDOWN WAS SUSPENDED.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
