THE RECIPIENT AND THE ORGANIZATION THEN WORK THROUGH A PROCESS TO DEVELOP THE CONTRACT BY WHICH THE RECIPIENT AND THE ORGANIZATION ARE BOUND. ALL THE CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTS MUST PRODUCE A PRODUCT OF SOME KIND. THEREFORE, THE MONITORING OF THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT IS DEPENDENT UPON THE PROJECT TYPE. THIS INCLUDES SUBMISSION OF SPECIFICATIONS PRIOR TO WORK, PROGRESS OR DRAFT REPORTS SUBMITTED, AND FINAL REPORTS ALONG WITH A VARIETY OF COMPLETED FORMS DEPENDING ON THE PROJECT. EACH GRANT/PROJECT IS SIGNIFICANTLY MONITORED TO ENSURE THAT THE PRODUCT OR WORK MEETS THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS. THE HISTORY FUND IS ABOUT PRESERVING AND SHARING OHIO'S HERITAGE BY SUPPORTING LOCAL PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS THAT STRENGTHEN OHIO HISTORY.

THE BUSINESS PURPOSE OF SUCH PAYMENTS IS TO PROVIDE THESE INDIVIDUALS WITH A MEETING PLACE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR NETWORKING. THE PAYMENTS ARE NOT INCLUDED AS ADDTIONAL COMPENSATION AS THE MEMBERSHIP IS USED FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES. COMPENSATION FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND KEY SENIOR EMPLOYEES IS DETERMINED BY SALARY COMPARABILITY DATA BASED ON ORGANIZATIONAL DATA AND OTHER NON-PROFIT COMPENSATION REPORTS. X VOLUNTEER HOURS 24943 867784 FMV 0 1 0 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: THE MISSION OF THE OHIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS TO HELP PEOPLE CONNECT WITH OHIO'S PAST IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE PRESENT AND CREATE A BETTER FUTURE. TO THAT END, THE SOCIETY CONDUCTS PROGRAMS THAT IDENTIFY, AUTHENTICATE, COLLECT, PRESERVE, EDUCATE AND INTERPRET RECORDS, OBJECTS AND PLACES RELATED TO THE STATE OF OHIO'S PRE-HISTORY, HISTORY AND NATURAL HISTORY AND PUBLISHES A MAGAZINE AND PAMPHLETS. THE SOCIETY HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED BY NUMEROUS ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF OHIO TO PERFORM CERTAIN FUNCTIONS SUCH AS MANAGE THE STATE'S HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM, SUPERVISE THE STATE ARCHIVES AND MAJOR HISTORY LIBRARY, AND ACT AS CUSTODIAN AND ADMINISTRATOR OF CERTAIN HISTORIC SITES OWNED BY THE STATE. THE SOCIETY OPERATES SEVERAL MUSEUMS AND SITES THROUGHOUT THE STATE. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4 OHIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH OHIO HISTORY CONNECTION THROUGHOUT THE CODE. THE TITLE OF THE DOCUMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM BYLAWS TO CODE OF REGULATIONS, CONSISTENT WITH OHIO CORPORATE PRACTICE. THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN ENHANCED. TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP IN ARTICLE 1, SECTION 3 NOW IS HEARD BY THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE AS OPPOSED TO AN AD HOC COMMITTEE. THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE PROVIDED FOR IN THE CONSTITUTION WILL NOW BE A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE, AS ADDRESSED IN ARTICLE IV, SECTION 3. THE REMOVAL OF TRUSTEES, A MATTER ONCE ADDRESSED BY THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE, WILL NOW BE ADDRESSED BY THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE IN ACCORD WITH ARTICLE IV, SECTION 5. THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE SHALL REVIEW PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE CODE OF REGULATIONS PER ARTICLE IV, SECTION 6. ARTICLE II ADDRESSING GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN REVISED. THE TERM OF OFFICE OF A TRUSTEE SHALL BEGIN UPON THEIR ELECTION OR THEIR APPOINTMENT BY THE GOVERNOR, PER SECTION 2. IN THE PAST, THERE HAS BEEN A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER NEW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WOULD NOT BEGIN THEIR SERVICE UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER BOARD MEETING. THIS CHANGE ELIMINATES THAT UNCERTAINTY. THIS CHANGE ALSO ALLOWS THE NEWLY-ELECTED BOARD TO ELECT OFFICERS AT THE BOARD MEETING ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MEMBERSHIP. SECTION 4 WAS REVISED TO CLARIFY THAT EX-OFFICIO BOARD MEMBERS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ATTEND EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF THE BOARD, IN KEEPING WITH THE BOARD'S CURRENT PRACTICE. SECTION 6 WAS REVISED TO MAKE THE USE OF COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT LIKE TEAMS OR ZOOM AN AUTHORIZED MEANS TO ATTEND A BOARD MEETING. SECTION 9 WAS ADDED TO CLARIFY THE AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD TO ENTER EXECUTIVE SESSION. ARTICLE III ADDRESSING THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WAS REVISED TO RECOGNIZE THE CURRENT PRACTICE OF HAVING THE COMMITTEE SERVE AS THE BOARD'S PERSONNEL COMMITTEE. THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD IS NOW THE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE V. ASIDE FROM THE REMOVAL OF AN OUTDATED REFERENCE TO WHO WILL STAFF THE COMMITTEE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. ARTICLE VI ADDRESSING OTHER COMMITTEES WAS REVISED TO REFLECT THE REORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD'S COMMITTEES AGREED UPON BY THE BOARD AT ITS RETREAT IN 2023. SECTION 7 WAS REVISED TO CLARIFY THAT EX-OFFICIO BOARD MEMBERS MAY VOTE ON MATTERS THAT COME BEFORE COMMITTEES UPON WHICH THEY SERVE. ARTICLE XI ADDRESSING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WAS REVISED BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 4, WHICH REFLECTS THE BOARD'S CURRENT PRACTICE IN EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. ARTICLE XII ADDRESSING GIFTS WAS REVISED AT SECTION 2 TO MAKE IT CLEARER THAT THE BOARD HAS THE FINAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT OR REJECT GIFTS, AND TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE SITES AND REAL ESTATE COMMITTEE SHALL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE. SECTION 3 WAS REVISED SO THAT IT WOULD REFLECT THE CURRENT PRACTICES REGARDING REPORTING OF GIFTS BY STAFF TO THE COLLECTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEES.
