“The Organization has a class of members. Please refer to the Form 990, Part VI, line 7a narrative response on Schedule O for further details.”

“Membership in the corporation is open to any individual, organization, professional association, government body, business, or foundation demonstrating support for the corporation and its purposes and upon paying the annual membership fee. Membership will continue so long as payment of the annual membership fee is current. Each member has one vote in corporate matters and one vote on all matters to be considered by the members, and the vote of a majority of the members present at any properly constituted meeting shall be necessary to adopt proposals. An annual meeting of the members is held on a date during November as designated by the Board of Directors, at which members shall elect the Board of Directors.”

“No committees may act on behalf of the governing body. The Organization does maintain committees that report to the Board, including the Nominating Committee, Ad Hoc Membership Committee, Finance Committee, Development Committee, and Strategic Planning Committee.”

“Executive management engages a public accounting firm to prepare the annual 990. Once the 990 is completed, it is reviewed by management and provided to the Board of Directors for approval prior to filing with the IRS.”

“All Board members and key employees are required to complete a conflict of interest statement at time of appointment/hire. The statement is then re-signed annually, for review by the Board President/Chair and Executive Director for any potential conflicts. The completed forms are confidentially held in the Human Resources office and/or secured SharePoint site. If the perception of a conflict of interest arises with a member of the Board during any meeting, that member recuses him/herself from all discussion and voting by leaving the room/Zoom meeting.”

“Executive Leadership and HR perform periodic market review analyses of compensation, based upon comparable criteria of organizations of similar size, expertise, and location/regionality (including both non-profit and for-profit sectors) for all positions within the organization. The most recent market review occurred during the Fall of 2023.”

“The Organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.”

“During FY25, the Organization ceased operations of its Mobile Clinic Program. Preparations were made within the reporting year to transition the program, including beginning the process of selling the mobile clinic van assets. In place of the mobile clinic, the Organization developed a restructured approach focused on chronic disease prevention and management. The new initiative is designed to deliver the same preventative health services previously provided by the Mobile Clinic - such as screenings, health education, and outreach through alternative community-based strategies. This transition ensures continued access to preventative care for underserved populations while optimizing resources and expanding the Organization's capacity to address chronic disease regionally. By reallocating assets and staff expertise from the mobile clinic to the chronic disease program, the Organization aims to strengthen population health outcomes, enhance preventive care delivery, and maintain alignment with its mission of improving community health across Northern New Hampshire.”
