THIS INCLUDES EXTENDING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO GIVE CLAIMANTS MORE TIME TO FILE CLAIMS, INSULATING CLAIMANTS FROM BEING FORCED TO ARBITRATE THEIR COMPLAINTS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, AND PRESERVING THEIR RIGHT TO FILE THEIR CLAIMS IN COURT EVEN AFTER THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS HAS CONCLUDED. THESE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LAW WILL ULTIMATELY GIVE PRO SE CLAIMANTS MORE POWER AND AGENCY IN PURSUING A REMEDY FOR THEIR DISCRIMINATION CASES. 550683 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X LAURA BROWN 2026449043 1640 COLUMBIA ROAD NW C WASHINGTON DC 20009 PHILLIS H RAMSBY CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HANNAH NIXON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TIFFANY JOSEPH GOODSON SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SALLY ABRAHAMSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC BACHMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASPREET CHOWDHARY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER DAVIDSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOSHUA ERLICH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMBER HARDING DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIRIAM NEMETH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES POULOS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN PUTH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DASHA ROSS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAUREN SMITH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIKA JACOBSEN WHITE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VICTORIA WILLIAMSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA BROWN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 82560 0 0 82560 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68328 255419 592771 916518 LEGAL SERVICES 541100 37200 37200 37200 163 163 0 68328 4985 -4985 -4985 948896 37200 0 -4822 82560 57178 19549 5833 476162 329771 112751 33640 40694 28267 11156 1271 42400 34020 6807 1573 44646 44646 25340 25340 3403 3387 16 8776 6599 1739 438 19115 9385 9103 627 63162 38460 24702 10926 10926 665 92 573 13349 4830 8519 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 4362 488 3874 DUES AND MEMBERSHIP FEE 2872 2032 840 838432 550683 243794 43955 60896 121913 342186 384869 33270 50000 7349 13426 12701 1342 248162 199407 704564 770957 18612 22306 243804 196039 262416 218345 X 442148 334279 218333 442148 552612 704564 770957 110464 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 259736 219902 1011701 584681 916518 2992538 259736 219902 1011701 584681 916518 2992538 180090 2812448 104 95 302 160 163 824 4376 4376 2997738 86342 0.93820 0.97960 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2021 AMOUNT: $ 4,376.
