“The board of governors may delegate to the executive committee responsibility for management of the mga when the board is not in session, consistent with any policies established by the board. The executive committee shall be composed of the mga chair, the mga vice-chair and the immediate past mga chair. In the event that the immediate past mga chair is retiring from office, the board shall elect an alternate mga member to serve on the executive committee.”
“Midwestern governors association (mga) has entered into a management contract with smithbucklin corporation. Under the terms of this agreement, mga makes payments to smithbucklin which cover staff salaries, executive director, and other overhead expenses. The fees incurred by mga during the current fiscal year were $283,512 which were broken down as follows: administrative services - $227,987 financial management and accounting - $18,375 exective management - $35,000 marketing and communications - $841 information technology services - $1,309 smithbucklin's performance under this agreement is monitored by the board of mga.”
“The governing board of directors has delegated the review of the form 990 to the executive director before it is filed with the irs.”
“Board members are required to fill out and submit a conflict of interest form on an annual basis. The organization's executive director and chief employed finance executive will monitor and enforce compliance for proposed or ongoing transactions for conflicts of interest and disclose them to the chair. The chair of the board of directors will determine action based on the conflicts that arise.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
“The mga has ceased conducting the "america's smartland and the "annual report and publications", two of the four program services conducted in previous years.”
“The organization did not change its oversight of the audit process or selection of an independent auditor process during the year.”
“Mga believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements or that would have an effect on its tax-exempt status. There are no unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities that need to be recorded.”
