Michigan Sheriffs Association Educational Services Inc.

“The organization has 83 county sheriffs that pay dues and are voting members.”

“At the annual fall conference closed session, sheriffs break up into groups based on the organization's five regional districts. Each district elects a district representative to serve on the board of directors. At the board of directors meeting following this, the district representatives elect officers for the next year's board. The new sheriffs' representative is elected by newly elected sheriffs at the new sheriff school in december after the election. The new sheriffs' representative serves on the board for 4 years.”

“The lead auditor delivers a draft copy of the 990 to the executive director and reviews it with him. The executive director reviews significant items with the board of directors via email. After making necessary changes, the lead auditor delivers the final copy of the 990 to the executive director for his signature and submittal to the irs. At the fall training conference, the lead auditor conference calls in to the board of directors meeting and gives a report about the audit and form 990.”

“All board members are required to sign an annual disclosure statement and to disclose any conflicts that may arise during the year.”

“The executive director's compensation is reviewed annually at the fall training conference board of directors meeting. The board reviews the executive director's contract and makes changes voted on. The board also reviews salary increases for all employees and votes on adjustments.”

“A 'public disclosure copy' of the 990 is kept on file for anyone to come to the organization's office to review. If someone would like to receive a copy in the mail, the individual may provide a postage-paid envolope and the organization will mail the requested documents.”

“All programs have been held in the past with the exception of the honor guard training program and the undersheriff and jail administrator conferences. The grief support, stopped program, and victim services program have been administered by the association in prior years but not listed on the form 990.”

“The association additionally administers programs in regard to providing grief counseling and assistance to families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
