Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“The organization has three types of memberships: 1) individuals, who are not aligned or affiliated with any other organization, 2) individual, who are affiliated with an organization and are that organization's representation and 3) organizations.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“On an annual basis, each membership sends a delegate to the annual convention for the election of the new board of directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“A draft form 990 is given to the board of directors for review before it is filed. Once the board agrees with all the related information, including revenue and contributions, expenses (both management & general and program services), and grants, the accountants finalize the form 990. The form is then signed by the authorized officer and filed with the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The american latvian association (ala) officers and staff shall avoid any conflict between their respective personal, professional or business ownership interests and the interests of the association, in any and all actions taken by them on behalf of the association in their respective capacities. Officers and staff members shall give notice of such interest or relationship to the ala board and the board shall determine whether the person may remain involved in discussions related to a particular event or transaction. In cases where the board determines that the individual has a substantial interest, the board will direct the individual to refrain from discussing or voting on the particular transaction in which he has a significant interest, or otherwise attempting to exert any influence on the association, or its components to affect a decision to participate or not participate in such a transaction.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Any compensation of the organization's executive director and all other employees is deliberated and then proposed to the board of directors by the personnel care committee. Personnel salaries depend on employee education, experience and responsibility level. The compensation deliberation process includes comparison of wages in similar nonprofit organizations in the same geographic area. Salary raise is decided considering federal employee percentage pay raise. The board of directors discusses and reviews the proposed compensation and makes the final determination during a closed session of the board budget meeting.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes these available to the public upon request.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0TOURS: THE AMERICAN LATVIAN ASSOCIATION'S EDUCATION OFFICE ORGANIZED EDUCATIONAL TOURS TO LATVIA PRIMARILY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE BUT INCLUDING ONE TRIP A YEAR FOR ADULTS. "SVEIKA, LATVIA!" TOURS IN JUNE AND AUGUST ARE DESIGNED TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE ATTENDED LATVIAN HERITAGE SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES AND OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF LATVIA ON TWO WEEK EDUCATIONAL TOURS WHICH INCLUDE VISITS TO MANY OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM. NEARLY 600 YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE PARTICIPATE IN THESE POPLAR TOURS SINCE THEIR INCEPTION IN 1997. "HERITAGE LATVIA", AN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE EDUCATIONAL TOUR FOR YOUNG PEOPLE OF LATVIAN DESCENT WHO DO NOT SPEAK LATVIAN, WAS ADDED IN 2006. THE CONTENT OF THE TOURS CLOSELY MIRRORS THE "SVEIKA, LATVIA!" PROGRAM, BUT THEY TAKE PLACE IN ENGLISH RATHER THAN IN LATVIAN. AN EDUCATIONAL TOUR FOR ADULTS CALLED "HELLO LATVIA!/SVEIKA, DZIMTENE!" WAS INSTITUTED IN 1998. THIS IS A BI-LINGUAL TOUR GEARED TO ADULTS AND FAMILIES. THE TOUR INCLUDED HISTORICAL, GEOGRAPHICAL, AND CULTURE HIGHLIGHTS OF LATVIA AND REGULARLY ATTRACTS 20 PARTICIPANTS PER YEAR.
