“Peter Croner (Director) is responsible for the completion of all financial reporting, both internal and external (including this Form 990). He also serves as the liaison to the organization's outside accounting firm, who is available to provide guidance as needed for accounting questions of a general nature as well as more technical questions related to reporting requirements. No such guidance was required for this year's reporting by the accounting firm. They have not reviewed this filing. Peter follows due diligence throughout the reporting process to assure compliance and accuracy in all reporting for the organization. The accounting firm provided Review Services for the current fiscal year which served as a check for verifying reported values in this Form 990. The Board of Directors was provided a draft version of this Form 990 and supporting schedules approximately one week prior to filing the report electronically for their review and potential questions to be raised.”

“Board members are expected to be familiar with the conflict of interest policy and all policies, and are to notify the Board when a potential conflict of interest arises. If a potential conflict of interest could impact impartiality by a Board member, the individual will be required to recuse themselves from participation in the voting process for the matter in question.”
