“The 990 is received by the organization's president, who reviews the return for accuracy. Upon the president's approval, the 990 is made available to the board of directors in electronic format. After any concerns presented by the board are addressed during the january board meeting, the president signs and files the return.”
“The conflict of interest policy and procedures are presented at the january board meeting each year. All board members are required to review and sign the policy. In addition, all directors are required to disclose and to notify the board of any conflicts that may arise throughout the year. A director with a conflict will refrain from voting on any associated matters.”
“The board of directors determines the compensation of the president. The board of directors utilizes information based on service to various agriculture committees. A record of the meeting and decision by the board of directors is retained by the organization. The president's salary is reviewed at the january board meeting each year.”
“All information is available upon request.”
“In the preparation of tax returns, tax positions are taken based on interpretation of federal, state and local income tax laws. Management periodically reviews and evaluates the status of uncertain tax positions and makes estimates of amounts, including interest and penalties, ultimately due or owed. No amounts have been identified, or recorded, as uncertain tax positions. Federal and state tax returns generally remain open for examination by the various taxing authorities for a period of three to four years.”
