(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 10, 2009 ) Boca Raton, FL --- FACT was founded in 1984 by a small group of Midwesterners who didn't have a whole lot in common, except ... they knew each other, and they felt as if many practical aspects of their lives were not entirely in their own hands. These founding members soon discovered that by forming into a group of individuals -- people who weren't bound by politics, religion, age or employment -- they could make an almost immediate difference in how they live. In the last twenty-plus years of service to the American consumer, FACT has grown from a few members and a small Midwest office into an influential national corporation. Today, the association represents 1,000,000+ Americans in all 50 states ... maintaining offices in Illinois and Washington, D.C., and offering more than 30 benefits which can be truly life-altering.

STRUCTURE:
FACT was formed under the not-for-profit corporation laws of the District of Columbia. It has a governing board of directors, comprised of four persons, who are elected annually by a vote of regular members. Among other things, these directors must:

• Agree to serve without compensation.
• Engage in no activities which represent a conflict with FACT's best interests.
• Have been a dues-paying member of FACT for at least two years prior to being nominated.
• Not be related or connected in any way to any other director, officer or employee of FACT.
• Be a person of good character.
• Submit to and abide by a screening process whereby FACT can determine that a nominee has the qualifications to make important business decisions for a complex corporation.

These criteria were adopted by the corporation in order to
(a) assure the continuation of FACT's selfless intents and purposes,
(b) maintain a high level of professionalism at the director level, and
(c) prevent any special-interest groups or self-serving individuals from assuming control of FACT for their own gain.

Reporting directly to the board of directors are its officers (also four in number) and a managing director ... all of whom operate on a volunteer basis (i.e., they receive no compensation from FACT). Day-to-day administrative, management and marketing responsibilities are entirely "outsourced" ... handled on a contract basis by companies which specialize in their respective fields.
