@ present There are 4 in the Executive Committee which consist of a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. and there are also 8 Board of Directors >How are decisions made? Are they voted upon by a group? We vote on >all decision's by a majority vote of the members. How are funds >distributed? The monies that are donated - will go into a separate account earmarked just for the Mckay ferret Rescue. Since we are a 501c3 tax except, the only way we can distribute the monies ( to a non-501c3 organization or person) is by sending the monies directly to their vet / or asking what they need and buy the items and send it to them. All - records will be open to the public (by Law). 501c3 organizations will receive the monies directly (and will require to relinquish their EIN # to us for Tax purposes! Disbursement of the monies will depend on the immediate needs of the ferrets, it will not matter who has the babies (regular rescuer/organization/or 501c3 Org). BY THE NEEDS - health issues will come first. [Posted in FML 5536]
