“The organization's members include active members, associate members, and honorary members.”
“Nomination of directors shall be made by a nominating committee appointed by the president of the association. Additional nominations may be made by the active members at the annual meeting. At each annual meeting of the members, two directors shall be elected by a majority vote of the active members present. The elected board of directors shall, at their first meeting after the annual meeting, and every three years thereafter, appoint two voting directors.”
“Active members shall have voting rights on all matters subject to the vote from the membership. Associate memberes may attend the meetings of the membership, but shall not have voting rights. Honorary members may attend the meetings of the membership, but shall not have voting rights.”
“The 990 is received and reviewed for accuracy by the president. Upon the president's approval, it is presented to the board of directors for their review and approval. The president signs and files the return.”
“Board and staff members are required to disclose conflicts as they arise, as well as to disclose those situations that are evolving that could potentially result in a conflict of interest. Staff is required to disclose to the manager, and board members are required to disclose to the board chair. For each interest disclosed, the manager or board chair will determine the appropriate actions to take.”
“The board of directors meets annually to review the performance of the manager. The board of directors receives and reviews the aosca (association of official seed certifying agencies) compensation survey. Based on the results of the survey, the board determines the manager's compensation. A record of the meeting and decision by the board is retained by the organization.”
“All information is available upon request. Form 990 is also posted annually on guidestar's website. The 990 is public information through the michigan attorney general's office.”
“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, state and local tax returns generally remain open for examination by the various taxing authorities for a period of three to four years.”
