The 12th annual City of Water Day festival was held in the Seaport District where the Organization unlocked access to the Brooklyn Bridge Beach for the second year in a row; concurrently, more than 100 Alliance Partners hosted 50+ events throughout all five boroughs, Westchester, and New Jersey.

Pt VI, Line 11b	Waterfront Alliance has the form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. The President, Treasurer, and Finance Committee meet with the outside accountant and review the form 990 in detail to ensure that it correctly reflects all activities and policies at Waterfront Alliance. The final version is sent to the Board of Directors prior to submission to the Internal Revenue Service.
Pt VI, Line 12c	The conflict of interest policy is applicable to Directors, Officers, and employees who can influence the actions of Waterfront Alliance.

The Board shall determine whether a conflict exists and in the case of an existing conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to Waterfront Alliance. The decision of the Board on these matters will rest in their sole discretion, and their concern must be the welfare of Waterfront Alliance and the advancement of its purpose.
