“The organization is composed of members who pay dues, which are non- deductible, and are all equal in rights. There is only one class, which is composed of members.”

“The organization has an annual meeting, at which time the officers and directors are elected. The board does not recommend any member for the board of directors, but rather they are elected from individuals electing to run for the office or for the board of directors. The annual meeting is paid for by those attending, and that income is included as conference income.”

“The executive board of directors' decisions are affirmed by the entire board, and all decisions are then placed before the members at the annual meeting for their approval/disapproval. The executive board is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the organization. The entire board will meet if a significant decision needs to be made.”

“A copy of form 990 is provided to each director prior to filing the tax return.”

“The board is not controlled by any one individual but rather by the entire board. All decisions regarding contracts are reviewed by the executive board, who take decisions to the entire board. Each board member has one vote, and none are related.”

“The pay for the executive director is set by the board of directors. The executive director is the only paid top management official. All other officers of the organization are volunteer.”

“The executive director is the only key employee. Salaries of the executive director and other employees are determined by the executive board and affirmed by the entire board. The board determines all compensation.”

“Form 990 is available to the public. The minutes and other documents of the organization are not available to the public.”
