Save the Redwoods League

“The organization has one (1) class of voting members, referred to as "councilors" who are the "members" within the meaning of the california nonprofit corporation law. The organization refers to donors/financial supporters as "members" even though those persons are not entitled to vote and are not "members" as defined in state law.”

“The league has 66 members who comprise the board of councilors. The council has the power to elect the directors, i.e., the members of the governing body (the board of directors).”

“Prior to filing the return, the 990 is reviewed in detail by the league's chief operating officer/chief financial officer, controller, general counsel and ceo/president. The board receives a copy of the return for review before the league files the return. The board of directors reviews the financial reports quarterly, the finance committee reviews the financial statements bi-annually, the audit committee reviews the independent audit process and the annual financial statements and the president and chief executive officer, chief operating officer/chief financial officer, and the rest of the senior team reviews the financial statements and variances from budget on a monthly basis.”

“Board members complete a conflict of interest disclosure form each year.”

“The board functions as the compensation committee to determine the compensation of the executive director and approve that of the chief operating officer/chief financial officer. Independent review, outside compensation analysts, and comparability studies are conducted among similar organizations to obtain market data, in conjunction with performance evaluation.”

“The organization posts audited financial statements and 990 to the website annually. The organization provides copies to any person upon request.”
