Tucson Audubon Society Inc.

“The tucson audubon society is comprised of members whose sole requirement is to pay dues in accordance with the organization's bylaws.”

“Members of the tucson audubon society elect new officers and directors to a three year term, at a members meeting held annually in march.”

“The form 990 was provided to all board members for their review. The treasurer and board president approved the form 990 for filing. Data to complete the form 990 was provided by certain board members as well as tas staff.”

“The board president is responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the conflict of interest policy. In practice, the policy is distributed annually along with a list of vendors and customers to the staff and board of directors and they indicate if there are any conflicts of interest or relationships with the parties listed.”

“Tucson audubon society's (tas) executive director conducts a periodic review of the salary schedule for all positions using the benchmark salary survey conducted by trec (training resources for the environmental community). This is an annual survey with comprehensive regional breakdowns such that one can compare similar position responsibilities, budget size, and benefits offered. The salary schedule for the executive director is reviewed and approved by the personnel committee. The executive director (ed) is responsible for implementation of raises based on employee performance and merit. The ed's compensation was reviewed annually by the personnel committee of the tas board following the performance review and all changes are voted on by the tas board. The ed's compensation is in alignment with industry standards and compensation information available from national audubon for similarly staffed urban-based audubon chapters.”

“Information regarding the governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request from the executive director or a board member. The form 990 is available online at guidestar.org.”
