Ms. MacMillan states that while she has served on the board for a number of years, all of her disclosure statements were completed by administrative staff. She understands that it is her responsibility to remember to file; however, during 2012 and 2013 she was the primary caregiver for her mother; attended graduate school; attended family graduations out of state during June 2013, and attended to a family member during July and August 2013 (out of state). Ms. MacMillan submitted documentation to support her claim. However, the report was not initially due until May 15, 2014 and the notice of delinquency was issued in February 2015, both dates are after the occurrences of the unforeseen circumstances.
