DescriptionField-wide services: The Alliance offers a number of services including accreditation, museum and community collaborations and the Museum Assessment Program. Accreditation is a widely recognized seal of approval that brings national recognition to American museums thereby strengthening individual museums, promoting ethical and professional standards, recognizing excellence and serving as the field's primary vehicle for quality assurance and self-regulation. Museums Connect (MC) is a federally funded grant program designed to foster museum-based international exchanges in which members of the museums' communities play a leading role in strengthening connections between museums and their communities as well as the connections of US citizens and people abroad. The Museum Assessment Program (MAP) is also a federally funded program helping to maintain and improve operations in museums through a confidential, consultative process of assisting in resource allocation, documenting needs to improve funding requests, meeting and establishing priorities and understanding and implementing best practices in the industry.Description

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bCertain changes in the Alliance's governing documents require approval by the members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The information for the federal Form 990 is prepared by the accounting staff. Once the accounting firm delivers the draft, the Audit Committee reviews it, and it is then forwarded on to the entire Board of Directors for their review and approval. The President also reviews the federal Form 990 prior to signing the electronic authorization Form to authorize Raffa, P.C. to e-file with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Alliance staff, board members, and volunteers act in the best interest of the Alliance rather than in furtherance of personal interests or the interests of third parties, such as friends and family. Decisions about the Alliance and the use or disposition of its assets are made solely in terms of the benefits to the Alliance and are neither influenced nor appear to be influenced, by any private profit, personal gain, or outside benefit for staff, Board members, and volunteers; their friends and family members; or any organization or company with which they are affiliated. On an annual basis, all officers, directors, and key employees shall be provided with a copy of the conflict of interest policy and required to complete and sign an acknowledgement and disclosure form prepared by the Board of Directors. If a conflict arises in regards to a board member, the member immediately notifies the Chair. That member will then recluse himself or herself from any voting on a related issue, and will also not be counted towards a quorum on a related issue. For officers and key employees, a conflict would immediately be reported to management and appropriate action would be taken depending on the individual issue.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThe Board of Directors has the responsibility for reviewing and setting the President's compensation package. The Board reviews market data along with the President's performance in determining what an equitable compensation package should be. In turn, the President is charged with preparing evaluations for the Alliance's senior management team based on each individual's performance during the current year. This data is then used by the President in setting compensation packages for the senior management team.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Alliance's annual report is available on its website. The Alliance's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are made available on a per request basis.
