New Mexico State Bar Foundation

“The form 990 is reviewed by the executive director and finance committee and the full board is notified of the availability prior to filing.”

“New mexico state bar foundation and state bar of new mexico are governed by an interlocking board of directors, whereby all the director positions of the foundation's board must concurrently be serving as a director on the board of state bar. In our board training we inform the board members of our conflict policy and compliance.”

“The executive director of the state bar of nm determines the employee compensation for the foundation employees. Every three to five years a salary matrix is done to compare wages for employees.”

“The organization makes its form 990 available to the public upon request and through posting it on the new mexico attorney general website.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“The finance committee and the executive director, in conjunction with the board of directors, oversee the audit of the financial statement and selection of an independent auditor. The organization did not change its oversight process or selection process during the tax year. The audit of the financial statements and the issuance of these statements has been delayed due to turnover in the finance department and difficulty experienced in reconciling some of the organization's financial accounts. Therefore, the audited financial statement questions have been answered no on this form 990 since, as of the date of the 990 filing, audited financial statements have not yet been issued. However, the organization expects to have the financial statement audit completed in the near future.”
