In early 2023, FID went through a major change in leadership. One key board member, who had been providing financial oversight (accounting and bookkeeping) as well as compliance responsibilities (employer-related, preparation of IRS and California state annual information returns), stepped down from the board. She did not have the opportunity to fully train her replacement (another board member) in taking over these responsibilities. Moreover, the physical handing over of some of the organization's financial and legal documents was incomplete. The board member who took over her responsibilities has for over a year struggled to maintain the various administrative processes that had been put into place (accounting, bookkeeping, employer payroll, preparation of information returns). FID has recently hired an administrator to put the organization's operational processes back into place. Thus, the late filing of this 2023 Form 990-EZ.
