“There are the following types of memberships: charitable organization, individual, associate member, international institution, provider, underrepresented, university system, and us institution.”
“Members approve changes to the by-laws.”
“Copy of tax return is provided for Board review prior to filing.”
“Subject to annual review and, if necessary, updates.”
“It is the responsibility of the Board Executive Committee to annually review the performance of The Forum on Education Abroad's (The Forum) CEO and to recommend compensation for the CEO for the subsequent year. Compensation of the CEO, Forum Staff, and additional support is negotiated annually with Dickinson College in conjunction with the Management Contract.”
“Governing documents are held at The Forum's office, and are available upon request.”
“Management ultimately bears responsibility for the information presented in the financial statements and tax returns.”
“The Forum on Education Abroad has invested in the Dickinson College Endowment for the purposes of enhancing the growth of its operating account, with the intent that the income of the Fund will provide support for Forum on Education Abroad programming.”
“Management has assessed the FORUM's exposure to income taxes at the entity level as a result of uncertain tax positions taken in current and previously filed tax returns. Examples of tax positions taken at the entity level include the continuing validity of its exempt organization status, potential filing requirement for unrelated business income and other tax positions that could result in income tax liabilities to the FORUM upon examination by taxing authorities Presently, management believes that it is more likely than not its tax position will be sustained upon examination, including any appeals and litigation, such that the FORUM has no exposure to income tax liabilities from uncertain tax positions. The Forum is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions, however there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.”
