“The institute's bylaws reserve the power to appoint and/or remove the institute's board of directors to the jewish national fund.”

“The form 990 is prepared by a national accounting firm in conjunction with amiie's financial department. Upon completion, the 990 is reviewed and authorized by the organization's audit committee chair (as a representative of the governing body) together with the organization's financial officer. Once the 990 is finalized, it is distributed to the full board of directors for review before filing with the internal revenue service.”

“The organization's administration distributes the conflict-of-interest policy to board members, officers and key employees with instructions to sign for authorization and return them to the main office. The director of operations has been instructed to review all submitted notices and to identify any conflicts which need to be reported, consulting with legal counsel, if necessary. The director of operations has been instructed to notify the chairman of the board and the head of school of any conflict so that conflicted individuals appropriately recuse themselves from discussions and voting on matters on which they have a conflict of interest.”

“The compensation review & approval process includes a comparison of form 990 of other organizations. Compensation was detailed reviewed and approved by the organization's board of directors. Board decisions are contemporaneously documented in board minutes.”

“Amiie's form 990 is published on the internet at www.amhsi.org (as well as www.guidestar.org) and is made available to the general public at amiie's regular place of business. Amiie, likewise, makes its financial statements available online at www.amhsi.org. Upon request, the organization will make available only those additional documents required to be disclosed under the public inspection laws.”

“Alexander muss institute for israel education's mission is to promote, build, and strengthen lifelong bonds between our students and israel through studying the history and culture of the people of israel. Alexander muss high school in israel educates students through high school. Established in 1972, amiie has provided study-abroad opportunities for english-speaking teens for more than half a century. Programs range from 10 days to 18 weeks, or a full academic semester. Amiie teachers draw upon their personal expertise and use the country's many ancient and modern sites for travel-based and experiential learning. Teen participants in academic-based programs (semester and mini-mester programs) also have the opportunity to participate in courses in core subjects of study (i.e., english; social studies; mathematics; science; foreign languages; etc.). The organization has served over 30,000 students and helped prepare them for post-secondary experiences. Today, amiie has grown to include two campuses, in hod hasharon and be'er sheva, with accommodations and classroom capacity for nearly 500 concurrently enrolled students. Amiie is supported by our rockville centre, new york operational center. Today, the organization's programs include participants from the united states, canada, england, and australia. Amiie looks forward to expanding our services to serve the needs of other non-english speaking dominant communities. Amiie evolved from meeting the local needs of a single jewish community in southern florida that was seeking to provide a deeper understanding of jewish history, israel, and personal identity to their students. Today, amiie offers a wide variety of programs, ranging from programming for individual enrollees, partner schools/organizations, and summer programs. Amiie provides a unique israel experience grounded in providing students with access to the sites and narratives offered in the torah and connected to their history. The program provides an intellectual framework around which students can study time and place and provides space for honest dialogue. Students are also given opportunities to experience the authenticity of a foreign experience, whether this means buying local cuisine on the street or hiking across the country. In the end, amiie helps students to grow intellectually and mature socially. Alumni regularly reflect on how the "muss magic," was both formative and transformative in helping change their lives forever.”
