“The board of directors is elected by the advisory council. The advisory council consists of up to one member from each society organization that licenses content to geoscience world.”
“Prior to filing, the form 990 is distributed to the board and discussed at a board meeting or by email.”
“Geoscienceworld requires the board and employees annually sign and acknowledge the conflict of interest policy and disclose any conflict of interest.”
“Independent board members periodically review comparability data and document their approval of the compensation of the ceo/executive director. This was last performed during fiscal year 2021.”
“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
“For the year ended june 30, 2025, gsw has documented its consideration of its uncertainty in income taxes and has determined that no material uncertain tax positions qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Gsw performed an evaluation of a certain tax position for the years ended june 30, 2025 and 2024 and determined that there were no material matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have an effect on its tax-exempt status. Form 990 is subject to examination by the internal revenue service generally for three years after it is filed. As such, form 990 for the fiscal years 2022 through 2024 remain within the statue of limitations.”
