| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A | ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE SELECTED BY ALA'S ASSOCIATION NOMINATING COMMITTEE (ANC); THE ANC AND ITS COMPOSITION AND AUTHORITY ARE SET FORTH IN THE ASSOCIATION'S BYLAWS. | |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 8B | NO COMMITTEE OF THE ASSOCIATION HAS AUTHORITY TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNING BODY. | |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 | THE ASSOCIATION DISSEMINATED THE 990 TO A BOARD MEMBER, WHO IS A CPA, FOR REVIEW, AS WELL AS THE AUDIT/EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE PRIOR TO FILING. A REPORT WILL BE MADE BY THIS COMMITTEE TO THE FULL BOARD. | |
| AS IT RELATES TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS MONITORED VIA: (1) ANNUAL DISCUSSION OF THE POLICY BY THE BOARD AT ITS SUMMER MEETING, INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL INDIVIDUAL SITUATIONS/CONFLICTS; (2) COMPLETION OF THE ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE SPECIFIED IN THE BROADER BOARD MEMBERS' CODE OF CONDUCT GOVERNANCE POLICY AND REVIEW OF THOSE QUESTIONNAIRES BY THE PRESIDENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; AND (3) MONITORING BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS BASED UPON ISSUES THAT COME BEFORE THE BOARD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE EXTENSION OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY TO SECOND LEVEL MANAGEMENT - ALA STAFF DEPARTMENTAL DIRECTORS - IS MONITORED BY FILING OF A SIMILAR ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE. THESE QUESTIONNAIRES ARE REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WHO MAY IN HIS DISCRETION ALSO HAVE A QUESTIONNAIRE OR QUESTIONNAIRES REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ALSO MONITORS POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ON AN ONGOING BASIS VIA, FOR EXAMPLE, REVIEWING AND EXECUTING ALL ASSOCIATION CONTRACTS, INCLUDING THOSE NEGOTIATED AND APPROVED BY SECOND LEVEL MANAGEMENT. | FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | |
