Asian Human Services Family Health Center Inc

“Ahsfhc amended its bylaws during fiscal year 2025. Here are the most significant changes and updates: 1. Board of directors - composition and eligibility (article ii, section 2.1): the 2025 bylaws add a new rule regarding the composition of the board: "health center employees and immediate family members (i.e., spouses, children, parents, or siblings through blood, adoption, or marriage) of employees may not be health center board members." the 2019 version was less specific, stating only that a director could not be an employee or their spouse, child, parent, or sibling. The new language explicitly includes immediate family members and expands the definition of family. 2. Committee structure (article iv): the 2025 bylaws have streamlined the committee structure. The personnel committee from the 2019 version has been replaced by a human resources committee. More significantly, the new bylaws no longer state that the personnel committee is responsible for "annually evaluating the performance of the ceo and instead place this responsibility under the general duties of the board of directors in section 2.16. 3. Board of directors - conduct responsibilities (article ii, section 2.1): the 2025 bylaws add a new subsection on "conduct responsibilities." this new section specifically states that directors who are also patients of the health center must "follow all rules, policies and procedures applicable to patients without favor as to their position as directors." this is a new addition aimed at ensuring impartiality and adherence to clinic rules. 4. Officer term limits (article iii, section 3.1 & 3.4): the 2025 bylaws introduce a new provision regarding term limits for officers and the chair. The updated language states that officers can serve "no more than six years in such capacity and thereafter the officers may be re-elected after a break of one year." this is a significant change aimed at promoting a rotation of leadership and preventing long-term stagnation. The 2019 version had no such term limits. In summary, the most significant changes are the updates to director eligibility, the streamlining of the committee structure, the new conduct responsibilities for directors who are also patients, and the new term limits for officers. These changes appear to be aimed at improving corporate governance, clarifying roles, and ensuring a more equitable and transparent organization.”

“The form 990 is prepared by the independent auditor. A draft is reviewed by the ceo, cfo, and controller. It is then shared with the board.”

“Annually, key management employees and directors are required to review the issue of conflict of interest, taking into consideration events and business interests entered into during the fiscal year. Certain directors asked to recuse themselves from board decisions that affect asian human services.”

“Our clinic uses the compensation information available from the illinois primary health care association in such review. The review is performed by the officers and directors of the board. The last review was performed in fiscal 2023.”

“All information is availabile upon request.”

“The process for audit oversight and the selection of an independent auditor has not changed from the prior years.”
