“A draft of the form 990 is submitted to the audit committee and the board for their review before it is filed.”

“Each board member fills out a conflict of interest at the beginning of the fiscal year. The form is reviewed by the governance commitee and filed. The newly elected executive committee adopted a policy of conducting a conflicts check at the beginning of each board meeting and executive committee meeting.”

“As part of the executive director hiring process the board created an ad hoc search committee composed of current board members, a former board member, and human resources and not-for-profit executives. That search committee developed and documented a list of comparable entities and researched their executive director and key employees' compensation data. The search committee reported its finding to the board, which reviewed the information and then decided the compensation for the executive director and key employees.”

“See above, the documented policy for form 990, part vi, line 15a.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request. It also posts many of them on its website.”
