Advice on References... HELP!

I've been offered an SA position with a BB in NYC, and the time has come to start onboarding and supply references.

One of the finance committees for an non-profit organization I worked with for a while has rotating chairs and the chairperson I was on the committee with is no longer living in the state and cannot be reached for a reference contact to verify that I was on said committee. Also, the main office for this organization kept track of my hours of involvement on another committee, but not on this one (because I can only get credit for one and had previously chosen the other committee as one for hours of credit while selecting the finance committee on a volunteer basis). I also listed the finance committee involvement in the employment history section of my resume, given the fact that this organization views said committee involvement as an unpaid internship within the organization, being solely responsible for its finances and 2.5 million dollar operating budget.

So, my question: Will HR come down on me and take away my offer if this organization didn't put me on record for hours of involvement on this committee? Is there anything I can do ahead of time to prevent that from happening? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
