ALSO

Call ABRA and ask for a copy of their Certificate of Incorporation filed with the State of Delaware 09/02/1999. Item three states that they are a 501(c) (3).

You will not be able to verify that with the IRS at the number above because they are NOT a 501(c) (3).

Why did they file a fraudulent Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware?

I don’t know.

ABRA has represented themselves as a 501(c) (3) since 1999 when in fact they are not.

ANYONE can verify that ABRA is not a 501(c) (3) non-profit by calling the IRS at the number listed above.

They are now scrambling to obtain an EIN to cover their tracks since I made these postings.

BUT GUESS WHAT?

They can’t cover their tracks about being a 501(c)(3) because that process that takes about a year and since they filed a fraudulent Certificate of Incorporation CLAIMING to be a 501(c)(3) when in fact they were not, the IRS WILL NEVER allow them to be a 501(c)(3). Remember this little thing called laws? I guess ABRA thinks laws don't apply to them.

But you know what? ABRA will never give you a copy of their Certificate of Incorporation. Why, because they have been deceiving everyone since 1999.

You can get a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation from the state of Delaware. There is a small charge for it. ABRA is hoping that no body will care enough to check it out.

2008-04-17T18:33:00.000-04:00

The Code of Ethics for any legitimate non-profit organization requires that board members cannot individually profit from their relationship with the non-profit.

You might want to learn about legitimate non-profits not ones created to benefit the for-profit companies owned by its board members.

And this statement, “...state, safety companies, local colleges, technical schools, and places that offer continuing education classes...” just shows your lack of knowledge about the standards that non-profits are held to. Any state, safety company, local college, technical school, and place that offers continuing education classes at a price are not non-profits.

ABRA has done nothing in its history except make money for its board members for-profit companies and blow smoke up the public’s ass.

Remember "The Emperor's New Clothes?"

Remember IRAQ’s WMDs?

The section below came from this link if you would like to learn more about conflict of interest with non-profit board members.

http://www.pano.org/standards/standardscode.php#III.%20CONFLICT%20OF%20INTEREST

III. CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Charitable nonprofit board and staff members should act in the best interest of the organization, rather than in the furtherance of personal interests or the interests of third parties. A charitable nonprofit should have policies in place and should routinely and systematically implement those policies to prevent actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest.

A. Conflict of Interest Policy

(1) Charitable nonprofits should have a written conflict of interest policy. The policy should be applicable to board members, staff and volunteers who have significant independent decision making authority regarding the resources of the organization. The policy should identify the types of conduct or transactions that raise conflict of interest concerns, should set forth procedures for disclosure of actual or potential conflicts, and should provide for review of individual transactions by the uninvolved members of the board of directors.

B. Conflict of Interest Statements

(1) Charitable nonprofits should provide board members, staff, volunteers and others who have significant independent decision-making authority with a conflict of interest statement, which summarizes the key elements of the organization’s conflict of interest policy. The conflict of interest statement should provide space for the board member, employee or volunteer to disclose any known financial interest which the individual, or a member of the individual’s immediate family, has in any business entity which transacts business with the organization. The statement should be provided to and signed by board members, staff, and volunteers both at the time of the individual’s initial affiliation with the organization and at least annually thereafter.

I have done a lot of research into this subject and ABRA has done more to assure the safety of the public as well as its members than any other organization. Yes they charge for training, as does the state, safety companies, local colleges, technical schools, and places that offer continuing education classes..... dummy. Do you honestly think it doesn't take money to train people? Go back to bed, try again tomorrow. Next time, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

ABRA is an organization that was only formed to promote the board members' For-Profit companies.

ABRA requires that you take their approved training. Guess who provides the training?
You guessed it-only their board members.

The ABRA approve training costs about $1500.00-$2000.00.

ABRA is NOT recognized by any governmental agency.

ABRA is all about the board members making money off this so-called non profit association.
