IdentifierDescription of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Identifier
Return ReferencePart X, Line 2:ReturnReference
ExplanationThe Organization is organized as a South Dakota nonprofit corporation and is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic ASC 740-10 (previously Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the unrecognized tax benefit accrual was zero. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The Organization will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. The Organization is no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.Explanation

Return ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1There shall be an Executive Committee comprised of the President, the President-Elect, the Immediate past President, and the Secretary/Treasurer of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Executive Committee exercises the powers of the board in the interim between regular meetings of the board, and makes recommendations to the board. The Executive Committee is also responsible for employment or termination of the Executive Director.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4Updated ByLaws for the following changes: Article I) updated name to Aberdeen Area Convention and Visitors Bureau to match the Articles of Incorporation; Article II) updated objective to state "The continuing objective of the Aberdeen Area CVB is to enhance the economic well-being of the Aberdeen region by increasing the amount of visitor and meeting activity that occurs in the Aberdeen region with an emphasis on overnight stays."; Article III, Section 1 modified officer terms to eliminate the five-year progression through officer roles to now read "Elected directors shall hold office for a term of three (3) years, except those members who are elected officers of the board. Officers of the Board shall consist of the Secretary/Treasurer, President-Elect, President and Past President". Article III, Section 3 was eliminated which defined the term and voting rights of the Past President; Article IV, Section 2 regarding election of officers was changed to state "The President, President-Elect and Secretary/Treasurer shall be elected from the members of the board. No director is permitted to hold office his/her first year on the board. Officers of the Board, who are elected Secretary/Treasurer their third year on the board, will be allowed to sit on the board as Secretary/Treasurer in their fourth year, President-Elect in their fifth year, President in their sixth year and Past President during their seventh year"; Article IV, Section 5 was changed to eliminate reference to committee oversight by the president-elect; and Article V, Section 1 was changed to indicate the Executive Director can be terminated by majority vote of all members of the Executive Committee rather than the entire board of directors; Article VI, Section 2 changed definition of a quorum to consist of a majority of the voting board of director members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The draft Form 990 will be reviewed by the Executive Director, accounting personnel, and the Executive Committee before filing. The final return will be presented to the Board of Directors after filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cEach board member, the Executive Director, and the Assistant Director signs a conflict of interest statement annually and as the situation arises. These are provided to the Executive Director for review. At the beginning of each board meeting, a conflict of interest statement is read to determine if any conflicts exist for any of the agenda items. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion by the board members with the interested person, the interested person shall leave the Board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or committee meeting but shall leave the meeting during the vote on the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest.
Executive Director Compensation: - Each December the Executive Committee performs the Executive Director's employee evaluation. If a merit increase is granted, the increase will be assessed to the first payroll in January. This process is true for all employee merit increases. These reviews were last completed in December 2012.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19These documents are available upon request.
