The committee has the full power and authority of the board of directors in the intervals between meetings of the board of directors but is subject to the direction and control of the full board. The executive committee does not have the power to amend the articles of incorporation or bylaws. No individual may continue to be a member of the committee after he or she ceases to be a director of the organization.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4
“The organization amended its bylaws to update the duties of the treasurer.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

The committee reviewed, discussed and approved the recommendations and presented them at the september 6, 2012 board meeting. Salaries did not change in 2014.”
