Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm. The form 990 is reviewed and approved by the executive committee first and then a complete copy of the return is emailed to the full board for review and approval. The board of directors will contact the executive director with any questions or comments. Once the review by the board of directors is complete, the return will be filed with irs.”

“Each person serving as a director, officer, or member of a board-delegated committee (and if determined by the board, other persons involved with the organization) shall annually complete the annual disclosure form, identifying any relationships, positions or circumstances in which the person and/or his or her immediate family is involved that he or she believes could give rise to a conflict of interest in the annual board meeting. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transactions or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he or she shall leave the board meeting before the board members discuss the potential conflict of interest and decide if an actual conflict of interest exists. If conflict were to arise, board members would vote on if resignation were necessary.”
