Summary of the Filing
Where the work happens
Bulletin Expense
The ais publishes 4 issues (fall, winter, spring and summer) of irises: the bulletin of the american iris society. Each issue ranges in pages from 72 to 94 in color and black & white. Irs is mailed to all paid and honorary members, domestic and overseas. No issues are offered for sale to the public.
Electronic Services
The society hired a computer programming consultant to write major software to create an integrated members services system. The society's member database, judges database, and registrations database are now tied together so that the same transactions do not have to be input multiple times, but only have to be input once.
Exhibitions Expense
The ais sanctions over 100 iris shows across the usa each year. To support these shows, the society purchases silver and bronze medals, entry tags, 1ST through 4TH place ribbons, and rosettes for section and sweepstakes winners. All exhibition supplies neede to be reordered this past fiscal year which does not normally happen.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
