Before these elections our Treasurer had been in place for over 20 years. During this election the Treasurer was replaced and a new Treasurer was elected. Unfortunately the transition did not go smoothly. Our Board is a group of dedicated volunteers none of whom receive compensation and all of whom have full-time employment outside of their Board Roles. All this to say following the Board elections and the new Board members taking office and due to difficulties with the exchange of information from former Board members to current ones it took nearly a year for us to be in a position to submit accurate information. We asked for help with many services; however due to the size of our organization available funding for such work and the current limited number of tax professionals our requests for assistance were denied each time. So we pushed forward. We are now back on track and will be submitting timely returns as we have done since our organization was founded. We appreciate your understanding and are willing to respond to any questions you may have given the circumstances.
