“At the annual Board of Directors meeting, which occurs on October 25th, the governing body is presented with a financial report for the reporting period.

The completed Form 990 is made available to the governing body the same time it is filed electronically with the IRS. It requires several months to accumulate the required data to complete Form 990 following the annual meeting”

“The Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation is a small non-profit charitable corporation. All compensation is determined by the Board of Directors. Members of the Board who also perform duties as employees and are compensated abstain from voting during meetings when compensation is part of the agenda. While much of the work is performed by volunteer help, the operation of a large aircraft does require the responsibility, knowledge, and experience of a few employees required by the Federal Aviation Administration to operate and maintain large transport aircraft like our Douglas C-54 and Boeing C-97G. The Board of Directors determine the minimum number of paid employees required.”
