Views of Responsible Officials: We agree with the auditor’s comments, and the following actions have been implemented. Corrective Action Plan: With respect to the identified nepotism concern, the Board of Directors formally adopted the Chamber of Commerce Board Standards to strengthen governance, independence, and conflict-of-interest oversight. Upon notification of the adoption of these standards, the prior administration, including Executive Director Soleece Watson, tendered their resignations in full. This resulted in a complete transition of executive leadership and administrative staff. As a result of these corrective actions, including revised governance standards, leadership transitions, and strengthened internal controls, management does not anticipate recurrence of the previously identified issues. The current Board and administration are committed to ongoing compliance, transparency, and adherence to best practices, and believe these measures will prevent similar discrepancies in future audit periods. Implementation date: 01 January 2026 Responsible Official: Drew Denett and A New Entry, Inc. Management and Board Members
