“GSIL members have the authority to vote on any merger or dissolution of the Organization.”

“Members of the Board of Directors are members of the Organization and they have the power to vote on nominees to the Board of Directors.”

“It is GSIL's policy that the Board's Audit Committee review the IRS Form 990 at their January meeting, before it is filed with the IRS. The Audit Committee reviews and recommends acceptance to the Finance Committee. After review of the Form 990 the Finance Committee must make a resolution to accept and submit the Form 990 to the full Board. Prior to the meeting the full board has an opportunity to review the Form 990 and to comment on the Finance Committee's recommendations. Upon the resolution to accept, the full board votes to accept and submit the Form 990 at its January meeting. In the event the Board does not reach a decision to support a resolution to adopt the Form 990, the staff shall file an extension and a follow-up meeting will be scheduled for the Board to have further discussion on the 990 submission. A copy of the Form 990 will be posted on the GSIL Board intranet website for each member's review. Notice of the posting of the Form 990 will be sent to each board member via email.”

“The Organization has a Conflict of Interest Policy signed annually by the Board of Directors. For fiscal year ended 9/30/2014, senior management will also be required to sign the Conflict of Interest Policy.”

The CEO is evaluated on quarterly progress made throughout the fiscal year, a year-end evaluation of goals and objectives, and a self-evaluation document completed by the CEO. The salary adjustment is based on performance, market/economic factors and parity with similar non-profits.”

“GSIL makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public on its website or upon request.”

“To streamline management and costs, the Community Living Department and Employment Services department were combined into one department in Fiscal year 2014 while providing the same programs as previous years.”
