“The bylaws were amended in june 2015 to reflect new regulations in the new york state nonprofit revitalization act. Specific changes included: a. A new section describing conflict of interest and related party transaction policies b. A new section on the role of the executive director c. A new section on compensation d. A new section on audits including the role of the audit committee”

“The audit committee presented the draft 990 at a meeting of the board of directors and provided an electronic copy to all directors. The 990 was filed after incorporating feedback from the directors at the meeting or during the subsequent comment period.”

“The directors, officers, and executive director sign a copy of the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. In addition, directors must disclose any transaction which likely amounts to an actual or potential conflict of interest to the board and executive committee, and abstain from any discussion about the potential transaction. If any matter comes before the board in such a way as to give rise to a conflict of interest, the affected directors shall make known the potential conflict and, after answering any questions posed by other directors shall withdraw from the meeting for so long as the matter shall continue under discussion and shall abstain from all voting with respect to such matter. The affected director may be counted to establish a quorum for a meeting at which an action in which such director has an interest is being considered, but not in determining a majority vote to authorize the transaction. The organization discloses the transaction and the voting details in its minutes. This includes the names of the persons present for discussion and voting, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the discussion, and a record of any votes taken. The organization also documents the process it undertook to verify that the transaction is fair. Directors are required to disclose this interest in writing on the annual acknowledgement of code of ethics and conflicts of interest questionnaire.”

“Each june, the executive committee reviews the performance of the executive director and sets compensation for the following fiscal year. In determining the compensation, the executive committee examines comparability data provided by a search consultant and from public sources. The executive committee communicates its decision in writing to the organization for implementation. The executive director reviews the chief financial officer's compensation annually with the board of directors for approval. The last review was performed in june 2015.”

“The organization makes its form 990 available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. The return is posted on guidestar.org and other similar types of websites. In addition, the financial statements, conflict of interest policy, form 990, form 1023, and by-laws are also available upon written request or by calling the organization directly.”
