“The 990 is reviewed by the treasurer. The form 990 is made available electronically or by mail, for all board members to review prior to filing the 990.”

“The board, officers, the general manager, and deparment heads (management persons) are asked each year to sign a conflict of interest statement. At a board meeting in the beginning of each year the conflict of interest statement is distributed. The board members review and sign the policy for the next subsequent meeting. If a conflict were to occur, the interested party must disclose to the board. Once the conflict is disclosed, that member is asked to leave the room, so the rest of the board can resolve the problem. A vote is taken with the remaining board members to resolve any problems. Once the conflict is resolved, that board member is allowed to rejoin the meetings.”

“The compensation for the general manager is determined by the president and treasurer of the club, with input from the controller. The club also uses a compensation survey to determine the appropriate salary. Once an appropriate amount is established, annual increases are approved by the president and treasurer as well. The approval is documented by the controller of the club.”

“The club does not make public any of its governing documents, conflict of interest policies or financial statements.”

“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process did not change from the prior year.”
