Arthur Miller Foundation

“The arthur miller foundation trustees created an advisory board known as the "board" appointed by the trustees, which provides ongoing advice and recommendations to the trustees and the executive director with respect to the activities and strategic direction of the foundation. The board meets at least four (4) times per year, and is also divided among two committees: (1) development committee, and (2) finance and resource committee. The advisory board acts by making formal recommendations to the trustees. Formal recommendations require the vote of a majority of the advisory board members present at a meeting of the advisory board, or the unanimous consent (whether in writing or by electronic transmission) of the advisory board members. Formal recommendations are presented to the trustees, and the trustees then make all binding decisions for the organization. The board does not exercise any powers of the trustees; it is strictly an advisory body.”

“Committees are advisory in nature only, and do not have the authority to act on behalf of the governing body (the trustees).”

“The arthur miller foundation executive director and financial consultant/bookkeeper initially review the form 990. Upon satisfactory review, the form 990 is presented for review by the amf treasurer and finance committee. Upon satisfactory review, the form 990 is presented for final review and approval by the trustees.”

“Each year at the annual meeting in the spring which determines the budget for the following fiscal year, the advisory board and trustees discuss the performance of the executive director and vote upon compensation while voting upon the annual budget. The amf board secretary specifically makes recommendations in regard to personnel, first consulting with the finance and resources committee, then presenting its recommendations to the trustees. A similar process is put in place for the operations manager, and the recommendation is made with consult among the executive director, board secretary, finance and resources committee, with a final decision made by the trustees.”

“The organization does not make its governing documents available to the public. However, they are readily available by request. Amf does make its financial statements available to the public via the guidestar website.”
