The Lake George Association provides technical and financial assistance to property owners and municipalities; direct protection programs through an array of public-private partnerships focused on invasive species prevention and treatment, road salt reduction, wastewater and stormwater improvements; and public policy advocacy, all with the goal of protecting Lake George's water quality. This includes monitoring and improving development and protection practices around Lake George to ensure that State and local laws are followed during the environmental regulatory review process. 291849 11023 Education for Action: The Lake George Association's education programming translates basic science and research advances in fields related to freshwater protection into compelling digital and experiential learning programs that connect across three broad constituent groups: professionals and legislators; residential and commercial property owners; and the public (i.e., schoolchildren, teachers, and visitors). The programs provide knowledge and skills that drive actionable outcomes to protect the water quality of Lake George, establishing a model for education designed to inform and engage the diverse constituency required for measurable results and sustaining progress. 2398077 true true false true false false true false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 31 0 false 24 true false false false false false true true true 2 false false false true false false false X 22 22 false false false false true false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X Dede Potter 5186689700 PO Box 408 Lake George NY 12845 Eric Siy President 44.00 0.00 X 239584 0 31375 Christopher Navitsky LG Waterkeeper 40.00 0.00 141372 0 29550 Tyra MacGuffie Dir of Development 40.00 0.00 126574 0 32655 Monika LaPlante Managing Prgm Dir 40.00 0.00 100203 0 17727 Diane Potter Dir of Fin & Admin 40.00 0.00 102527 0 10945 Roy N Davis Former Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Lape Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Siplon Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Casaccio Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charlie Crew Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Geoff Cook Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ginger Henry Kuenzel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Caravella Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sally A Thurston Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Menzies Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Keith Ferguson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dennis O'Connor Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bob Bailey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Parlin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lucinda H Bhavsar Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Creighton Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 George R Hearst III Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Blair Keller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr John E Kelly III Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 George R Morris Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Feist Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas West Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ike Wolgin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 710260 122252 5 false true false PC Sexton - Wit Companies LLC PO Box 176 Delanson NY 12053 Consulting 228000 AE Commercial Diving Inc PO Box 417 Manchester Center VT 05255 Milfoil Removal Services 138797 2 410938 33000 2882429 399974 3326367 FLOATING CLASSROOM FEES 611600 11023 11023 11023 502341 502341 0 0 0 863929 340000 862873 350227 1056 -10227 -9171 -10227 1056 93995 410938 135283 -41288 -41288 0 3966 2605 1361 1361 -10809 3779824 -8652 462109 569000 569000 0 0 0 259040 186509 62170 10361 0 1226178 519413 436738 270027 34085 15929 9095 9061 94595 49212 20211 25172 111134 54790 34964 21380 0 142035 135353 6682 34820 34820 0 0 35636 35636 3277 1967 689 621 25277 20932 269 4076 12390 6715 4370 1305 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65083 38675 26408 43703 38637 2863 2203 Consulting 523064 430129 71389 21546 Construction contracts 138797 138797 Environmental study 73378 73378 Travel, meals and conferences 50596 26073 7698 16825 206301 92568 63087 50646 3648389 2398077 817089 433223 250 250 961721 777143 907878 872341 53742 155550 0 0 0 4976 5292 23218 21790 1313639 700262 949079 613377 13542250 16423476 0 0 0 1470474 1461789 17913588 20331008 134018 310881 17681 239382 151699 550263 X 17753642 19773499 8247 7246 17761889 19780745 17913588 20331008 131435 1790946 96475 X false true X true false X 1543177 1385219 2639354 3195412 3421867 12185029 0 0 1543177 1385219 2639354 3195412 3421867 12185029 2262299 9922730 91917 85965 215977 412608 502341 1308808 0 4355 233 415 37 5040 13498877 61242 0.73510 0.72650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false true false false false false true 3215 false true 35833 39048 false false Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description Two salaried employees of the Lake George Association spent time on the following:-Met with New York State Legislators regarding the Clean Waters Collaboration.-Completion and submission of budget testimony relating to Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and the Climate Action Council Final Scoping Plan.-Letter to New York State Governor's office regarding nominees for the Lake George Park Commission.-Developing plan for promoting application of existing tax credit programs for LID certification.-Briefing New York State Department of Transportation on waterkeeper study and application rates for their pilot reduction program.-Letter to DEC regarding Draft State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Association accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing tax positions in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. As of December 31, 2023, the Association believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken on its tax returns and, therefore, believes that it has no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, the tax years that remain subject to examination by taxing authorities begin with 2020.
