Beginning the first year of our nonprofit and you sharing your knowledge has been so important towards getting to this point. As complex as all of this can be, I really appreciate how you break things down so they are easier to understand. You have been helping to fulfill the dream of establishing our particular organization and I just want to thank you Amber Melanie Smith.

Question: when calculating term dates for your board, do u count the first year if they all started the same year ?

Do you think it's best to register the nonprofit out of Delaware if you want more privacy and less oversight?
