At each annual meeting, the members elect, by a majority vote of those present, four (4) trustees who are duly nominated by the nominating committee of the board.(the board of trustess consists of twelve (12) persons, all of whom are elected by the membership.) all votes to elect trustees shall be taken by written, secret ballot unless all corporate members present at the meeting agree to conduct the election by another method. Notice of the list of candidates on the ballot must be available to corporate members five (5) days prior to the annual meeting.”

“A copy of the federal form 990 was reviewed by the chair of the board of trustees, the chair of the audit committee, and the executive director prior to filing.”

“The conflict of interest policy is reviewed with trustees by the chair annually when each board member is required to complete a conflict of interest statement. The statements are retained in the official "board binder" containing all board records (i.e. Governance documents) for the calendar year. The binder and the conflict of interest statements are available at every board meeting.”

“Each year, the personnel committee of the board of trustees reviews and recommends the compensation for the executive director, in conjunction with preparation of an operating budget. Such compensation is approved by the full board of trustees. The finance committee of the board annually reviews and recommends an operating budget. Their budget materials specify the salaries of all supervisory staff. The annual operating budget is approved by the full board of trustees.”

“All are available upon request. The form 990 is also available on the internet on the guidestar website.”
