Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4During 2024, Friends of Acadia amended its bylaws to: (i) implement director and officer term limits; (ii) revise the President's role to non-voting ex officio Board member; (iii) adjust the composition of the Executive Committee; (iv) create a new Development Committee; and (v) clarify terms and eligibility for committee chairs and members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6Those individuals who pay annual dues or make contributions in an amount set from time to time by the Board shall be known as Members of the Organization. Members do not have voting rights or any other power or authority to govern the Organization in any capacity.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bTo maintain donor requests for anonymity, the complete 990 is reviewed by the Audit Committee that consists of six board members, including the Chair and Treasurer, neither of whom are Chair of the Committee.
