Governance Explanations

Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6

Membership is open to all US veterans who meet the requirements of 36 U.S.C. sec. 21703. Membership rights include the annual election of local Post 346 officers and Executive Board members, and such other privileges as specified in the national American Legion constitution and bylaws. Specific details about membership eligibility and rights can be found online at www.americanlegion.org.

Member election for additional members Part VI line 7A

Local Post 346 members have the power to annually elect officers and Executive Board members. Further details are provided in the national American Legion constitution and bylaws, available online at www.americanlegion.org.

Governing body decisions Part VI line 7B

Only such decisions as are specified in the national American Legion constitution and bylaws, available online at www.americanlegion.org. These governing documents do provide for national- or state-supervised disciplinary hearings in the case of specified wrongdoing on the part of Post officers and/or Board members which may result in early removal from office.

Committee meeting documentation Part VI line 8B

Committee proceedings are rather informal as decisions made by committee are subject to ratification by an Officer, the Executive Board, or the general membership. Committees are usually just project-oriented work/volunteer assignments, with the chairman overseeing execution of the project. For this reason, no formal minutes or other written reports are usually made.

Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11

The Finance Officer, John Grossman, meets with the outside accountants regularly and all forms are reviewed by him before submission for filing. Appropriate Post 346 officers and financial personnel are responsible for the production and review of records submitted to the accountants, usually monthly. An internal audit function is supervised by the Finance Officer and the Executive Board. After filing, Forms 990 and 990-T are readily accessible by Post Officers, Executive Board members, and local post membership.

Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19

The organization makes its governing documents and Form 990 available to the public upon written request. Requests are responded to in a timely manner. Much of the governance information is also available online directly from the American Legion National Office.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Select community activities (but not political or partisan) are highlighted in a monthly Post Newsletter, which also includes information useful to Post members about entertainment, recreational and social programs, and help in obtaining care and assistance for veterans and their families. Through mandatory dues allocation, local members also participate in state- and national-organization advisory and informational programs.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Patriotic activities include sponsorship of the city of Farmingtons annual Civic Parade; in FY 2013. Deceased veterans are remembered through a special Memorial Stone Wall at local post HQ, and through the annual Poppy Drive. Proceeds from poppy donations support disabled living veterans. Post 346 usually sponsors a Veterans Day luncheon, and various recreational and social programs for veterans, including outings and special trips, and very popular get-togethers during the warmer months for special dinners.

IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0DONATIONS TO ORGANIZATIONS ARE RARELY MADE, EXCEPT AMOUNTS IN AID OF NEEDY INDIVIDUALS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. VERIFICATION OF TAX-EXEMPT STATUS IS MADE IN ALL CASES BEFORE FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED. HOWEVER, NO ONGOING MONITORING IS DONE AS TO APPLICATION OF FUNDS BY THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION. THE GRANT TO POST 346 AUXILIARY IN FY 2014 WAS AN INFREQUENT ONE, AND NOT TYPICAL.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Membership is open to all US veterans who meet the requirements of 36 U.S.C. sec. 21703. Membership rights include the annual election of local Post 346 officers and Executive Board members, and such other privileges as specified in the national American Legion constitution and bylaws. Specific details about membership eligibility and rights can be found online at www.americanlegion.org.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Local Post 346 members have the power to annually elect officers and Executive Board members. Further details are provided in the national American Legion constitution and bylaws, available online at www.americanlegion.org.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Only such decisions as are specified in the national American Legion constitution and bylaws, available online at www.americanlegion.org. These governing documents do provide for national- or state-supervised disciplinary hearings in the case of specified wrongdoing on the part of Post officers and/or Board members which may result in early removal from office.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Committee proceedings are rather informal as decisions made by committee are subject to ratification by an Officer, the Executive Board, or the general membership. Committees are usually just project-oriented work/volunteer assignments, with the chairman overseeing execution of the project. For this reason, no formal minutes or other written reports are usually made.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The Finance Officer, John Grossman, meets with the outside accountants regularly and all forms are reviewed by him before submission for filing. Appropriate Post 346 officers and financial personnel are responsible for the production and review of records submitted to the accountants, usually monthly. An internal audit function is supervised by the Finance Officer and the Executive Board. After filing, Forms 990 and 990-T are readily accessible by Post Officers, Executive Board members, and local post membership.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The organization makes its governing documents and Form 990 available to the public upon written request. Requests are responded to in a timely manner. Much of the governance information is also available online directly from the American Legion National Office.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6DURING FY 2015 RECOGNITION WAS FIRST GIVEN TO TAX EFFECT OF FY 2014 NOL ON FORM 990-T (ASC 740).
