Madison Curling Club Inc

“The organization has nine classes of members: life, honorary, regular, senior, novice, 2nd year novice, student, competitive, and social.”

“Board members are elected by majority vote of the members entitled to vote represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting.”

“Changes to bylaws are approved by two-thirds of the members entitled to vote represented in person or by proxy at any annual or special meeting of the members.”

“The organization does not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The prepared form 990 is reviewed and approved by the treasurer and is presented to the members of the governing body before the return is filed with the irs.”

“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers all officers, directors and commitee members. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, the interested person must disclose all material facts to the board of directors. The board of directors will determine if a conflict of interest exists. The interested person cannot be present at the board meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. If a conflict that may affect the daily or long-term operations of the organization is identified, either the conflict is removed or the person is asked to no longer serve in such capacity. To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, each officer, director, and committee member must annually sign a statement that affirms that such person has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, and has agreed to comply with the policy.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“To help curling teams cover expenses to participate in national and/or international competitions, the madison curling club holds escrow accounts for contributions raised by others to support specific curling teams. Funds are released to each designated curling team in accordance with our escrow agreements.”
