Yes. To become a member dues are required and are not donations. Members receive benefits above what the dues would provide due to successful income providing programs. Schedule C, Part III-A, Line 2 Did the organization make only in-house lobbying expenditures of $2,000 or less? Yes. The organization has no lobbying expenditures. Being a regional association of a national organization minimizes the need for lobbying.

No. The Longhorn Section of the Institute of Food Technologists does not get involved and has no expenditures supporting political activity or lobbying.

Members and Professional Members shall be eligible to vote on all SECTION matters. Student Members are eligible to vote on IFT Student Association matters. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a From the by-laws: Membership shall elect the officers and directors. Can vote at SECTION membership meetings in person or by proxy. Action may be taken without a meeting if the corporate action is taken by the members either by the unanimous written consent procedure or by the action by ballot procedure. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b The section members vote on all issues at the monthly meetings. The Executive Committee is made up of the elected officers and past officers. They will present to the section the issues at hand and offer their opinion. Day to day operations are usually handled by the EC. Committees and individuals can not govern or make decisions on their own. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Process used by the organization to review Form 990: The Treasurer generates the 990 as well as preliminary budgets. The finance committee reviews and the Executive Committee approves. The members prefer to focus on the budget and how well we adhere to it. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All documentation is available upon request but are considering moving to utilizing the website. LIFT does not have an office and is an all volunteer organization. Board change and new treasurer. Immediately applied and received automatic extension (8868) using Form990online to cover the Treasurer and Finance Committee confusion. The deadline is July 15, 2025 so we should be on time.
