“Form 990 is e-mailed to the finance committee representing the board of directors for review. Any changes are made before filing the return with the irs.”
“All board members are required to disclose any potential conflict of interest upon joining the board, and thereafter,on an annual basis. After a reasonable opportunity for full disclosure of all relevant facts and circumstances, disinterested board members determine whether any conflict exists, if it is material, and whether the proposed transaction may be entered into fairly and to the benefit of the organization.”
“The board sets the executive director's salary with reference to salary comparison with other non profit organizations. The board also evaluates the executive director's performance when setting her salary.”
“The annual report including any financial information is made available to the public upon request and is available for inspection at the organization's office during regular working hours.”
“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the entity and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the entity has taken an uncertain position that more-likely-than-not would not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain positions taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements as of year-end. The organization's income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate regulatory authorities for all open years which include the last three years filed.”

THE VISION OF DRUG FREE CHEROKEE IS A UNITED CHEROKEE COUNTY THAT IS HEALTHY, SAFE, AND DRUG FREE.THIS FISCAL YEAR DRUG FREE CHEROKEE WAS AWARDED A DRUG FREE COMMUNITIES GRANT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICE OF DRUG CONTROL POLICY. THE AWARD OF THIS GRANT HAS ENABLED DRUG FREE CHEROKEE TO EXPAND OUR UNDERAGE DRINKING PREVENTION INITIATIVE BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PROGRAM FUNDING AND THE PROVISION FOR A FULL-TIME PROGRAM COORDINATOR. AS A RESULT, DRUG FREE CHEROKEE EXPANDED ITS UNDERAGE DRINKING MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO INCLUDE PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT STYLE PROGRAMMING IN CHEROKEE COUNTY MOVIE THEATERS. DRUG FREE CHEROKEE ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE NORTH GEORGIA DISTRICT PUBLIC HEALTH TO FOCUS ON A SCHOOL SYSTEM POLICY CHANGE IN REGARDS TO TOBACCO USE.

MADE UP OF HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AGE STUDENTS FROM CHEROKEE COUNTY, THE CYC MET BI-WEEKLY TO WORK ON DRUG/ALCOHOL/TOBACCO PREVENTION AMONG TEENS. A GROUP OF CYC MEMBERS WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THE GEORGIA TEEN INSTITUTE AND LEARN THE STRATEGIC PREVENTION FRAMEWORK AND COME BACK WITH A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THEY IMPLEMENTED WITH THE HELP OF THE ADULT MEMBERS OF DRUG FREE CHEROKEE.

CYC ALSO HELD A TEEN SUMMIT ON ANTI-TOBACCO USE FOR COUNTY USE AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE GEORGIA PTA EXECUTIVE STAFF. |
