“There are no classes of members in the organization. All members have equal rights in the organization. While there is a Board of Directors that serves as the Governing Body, the Board members do not have extra privileges and have the same rights as the members. The Governing Body is directly elected by the eligible members during its annual Membership Assembly.”

“The governing body and management are furnished first with a copy of the draft Form 990. Form 990 will only be filed when it has been approved and signed by management.”

“No member of the Board of Directors are allowed to participate in any meeting, discussion or vote on any matter in which he or she or a member of his or her immediate family has potential conflict of interest because of having material economic interest regarding the matter being discussed. When such a situation presents itself, the Board Member announces his or her potential conflict, be excused from the meeting until discussion is over on the matter involved. The Board Chairperson or whoever is the chair of the meeting will make an inquiry if such conflict appears to exist when the board member has not disclosed the matter.”

“The Organization will only provide governing documents, conflict of interest, and financial statements to the public upon request.”
