Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X, Line 2:The Organization received authority from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to operate as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The draft of the Form 990 will be reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Organization's Conflict of Interest Policy covers members of the Board of Directors. Directors complete an annual disclosure statement and have a duty to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest that arise during the year to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall provide a disinterested review of the matter that is the subject of a conflict of interest. A Director having a conflict of interest should absent him- or herself from any discussion of the matter, should not use his or her personal influence with respect to the matter, and should abstain from casting any vote. To the extent that the remaining members of the Board determine that the Director can provide information that may be useful, the Director having a conflict may provide that information to the Board and answer pertinent questions from the other members of the Board before the Board casts its vote. A Director having a conflict of interest shall not be counted as present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is established, even if permitted by law. The Director's absence from the discussion and vote of the Board, and the establishment of the quorum without counting that Director, should be documented in the minutes of the Board meeting and made a part of the records of the Organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThe Board of Directors determines the compensation for the Executive Director. The process was most recently used in 2012 for the Executive Director H. Leuzzi using appropriate comparability data and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Organization does not make its governing documents or financial statements available to the public.
