“Red rock canyon interpretive association (rrcia) was an affiliate of the conservancy as the board of trustees and officers were the same for both entities. Rrcia was formed as a nonprofit organization in the state of nevada for the purpose of performing interpretive services for the bureau of land management and red rock canyon national conservation area. The two entities had similar activities and it was in the best interest of both entities to merge. The conservancy and rrcia entered into a merger agreement, dated august 30, 2016, to merge the two entities effective october 1, 2016. Rrcia is the merging entity and the conservancy is the surviving entity. As of october 1, 2016, rrcia was merged with and into the conservancy. The conservancy is a surviving non-profit corporation, and the separate existence of rrcia has ceased. As of october 1, 2016 (merger date) the net assets of rrcia in the amount of 1,287,336 were included on the balance sheet of the conservancy.
