The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 1b

In 2024, the Organization strengthened the governance and leadership of our financial management. As part of this process, it was noted that the organization's existing Travel and Expense Policy limited travel by the organization's staff to coach class. Given that the President and Executive Director is required to travel extensively on behalf of the organization, and has travelled in first class, we anticipate working with the Executive Committee to develop a separate written Travel and Expense Policy for the President and Executive Director with appropriate guidelines and required approvals by the Executive Committee or their designees as appropriate.
