The advisory committee shall report to the full board. All decisions of the committee shall be made only after an affirmative vote of a majority of its members in attendance, provided a quorum is present. Dissenters may forward to the society's board of directors their reservations or disagreement with the decision of the membership by recording the same in the minutes of meeting or in a written prepared minority report. The executive committee is comprised of the president, vice president, secretary, chief financial officer/treasurer and immediate past president. Depending upon the needs and style of the president, this committee can be used in times of emergency for quick decisions. All actions by the executive committee need to be reported to the full board of directors and entered into the minutes.”

“Accounting guidance issued by the financial accounting standards board (fasb) prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The society did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of december 31, 2024 and 2023 and does not expect this to change significantly over the next twelve months. The society will recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of december 31, 2024 and 2023, the society has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.”
