Student volunteers are involved with activities such as staffing conferences, teaching, debating, and attending speaker events.”

“5 members of the executive board (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Executive Director, and Secretary) are elected by vote of the general membership in April of each year.”

“Completing and filing the Form 990 is, as per the organization's bylaws and constitution, the responsibility of the Treasurer, who is also responsible for the organization's budgeting and accounting. The Treasurer then provides copies of the Form 990 to the other members of the executive board prior to filing.”

“At any meeting of the executive board, before discussing the appointment of organization members or any other executive decisions, it is clearly stated that those board members with conflicts of interest should voluntarily withdraw themselves from a vote or from any discussion about candidates for positions or new bylaws. If board members believed that another board member failed to disclose a conflict of interest, they were allowed to appeal to the President of the board, who made the final determination on how to proceed.”

“No members of the organization, including the executive board, receive financial compensation or benefits fro their services. All members of the organization serve in a volunteer capacity.”
