| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | The election of directors occurs by secret ballot of the membership. The Board of Operations Committee establishes procedures concerning the conduct of elections, distributes ballots to all members, and counts the ballots.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8b | The Association's committees do not have the authority to act on behalf of the governing body. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The Association requires all voting members of the governing body to have access for review purposes of the IRS Form 990 prior to it being filed with the Internal Revenue Service. The executive director or designee will submit a draft copy of the form to the directors at the earlier of either the meeting prior to the due date of the return or thirty days before the return is due. Each director will be given the opportunity to respond in writing or by email to the executive director or designee asking any questions or objecting to any information presented on the return. In the event that the objection cannot be resolved between the director and the executive director or designee, the return will be extended and the subject is included as an agenda item at the next regularly scheduled meeting. It is sufficient for the executive director or designee to provide a draft copy to all voting members by email and requesting that approval is implied by no response to the email. The executive director or designee provides evidence that this policy has been complied with and maintains copies of all correspondence, questions, and objections. |
