Earlier this month, the Free Republic Network held its annual Board meeting. In addition to electing new officers, we have decided to rework our Board and operational structure a bit. The new FRN Board of Directors consists of nine members: Interesting Times (Chairman), Skeet (Executive Director), Diotima, Bob J, MinuteGal, DoughtyOne, Nick Danger, Seeking the Truth and Abner.
We are also forming a new FRN Executive Team to help plan and organize events, design and implement services for FR Chapters, and to work with FRN Strategic partners such as the ACU and the Leadership Institute. Upcoming FRN-hosted events include CPAC 2003 in Washington DC, a Freeps Ahoy cruise to be announced shortly, and our yearly conference next fall. We're also looking for volunteer writers and fundraisers. Naturally, all members of the Executive Team will learn the secret FRN handshake and be given their own decoder ring. If you'd like to help us support conservative activism, drop us a line at frn@freeper.org.
The Free Republic Network organizes, trains and supports conservative activists, and connects other conservative organizations with grassroots groups across the country that share their goals. There are currently 49 local and issue-based Chapters affiliated with the FRN.
Kick back. Have a beer.
It's been a week...
We will continue to post our yearly returns as they are filed.
The professionals we have retained to advise the FRN on tax and corporate matters suggest otherwise. They say, as I reported earlier, that no federal tax filings were required of the Free Republic Institute, which had no revenues.
Obviously you disagree.
Therefore it seems reasonable to ask: what are your own qualifications to provide professional advice to directors of a non-profit corporation? Are you, for example, a CPA or a tax attorney with non-profit expertise?
The question was...

Thanks in advance.
What part of this statement does not apply to Free Republic Network Incorporated.?
In general, if a tax-exempt organization filed an application (a 1024 in the case of a 501c4) for recognition of exemption under section 501, it shall make its application for tax exemption available for public inspection without charge at its principal, regional and district offices during regular business hours.
That's a question --- not advice.
Feel free to resume pacing the room and muttering to yourself.
In other words, act like I'm a member of the Free Republic Network Board of Directors.
