The Council is subject to a tax on income from any unrelated business. On January 1, 2010, the Council adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), with no cumulative effect adjustment. The Council has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Council believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Councils financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Council has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2024. false false false false false false false false false Mark Alexander 13584 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13584 0 0 0 Eric Reid 43016 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43016 0 0 0 Cate O'Keefe 182216 0 0 0 0 0 25445 0 41883 0 249544 0 0 0 Christopher Kellogg 147991 0 0 0 0 0 20741 0 21054 0 189786 0 0 0 Margaret Bernier 182880 0 0 0 0 0 16848 0 41812 0 241540 0 0 0 Andrew Applegate 166120 0 0 0 0 0 23640 0 41884 0 231644 0 0 0 Janice Plante 137227 0 0 0 0 0 19159 0 16954 0 173340 0 0 0 Michelle Bachman 134357 0 0 0 0 0 18758 0 55269 0 208384 0 0 0 Jamie Cournane 133667 0 0 0 0 0 19109 0 41782 0 194558 0 0 0 Pt VI, Line 7b The Council votes on all actions regarding the operation of the organization.
