“The organization has a nominating committee comprised of half board members and half non-board singing members that determine the number of board seats and put together a slate for election. A majority vote of a quorum at the annual meeting elects the slate.”

“The membership also can vote to amend the bylaws.”

“The end of year financials and memberships are reported to the board at the annual meeting. The form 990 is provided to the finance committee only.”

“A. An interested person may make a presentation at the board or committee meeting, but after such presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. B. The chairperson of the board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. C. After exercising due diligence, the board or committee shall determine whether the corporation can obtain, with reasonable efforts, a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. D. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is(i) in the corporation's best interest, (ii) beneficial to the corporation, and (iii) fair and reasonable. If these factors are met, the corporation may choose to enter into the proposed transaction. E. In evaluating such a transaction or arrangement, the corporation should pay no more than fair market value for any goods or services which the corporation receives and should receive fair market value consideration for any goods or services that it furnishes to others. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as may be warranted by the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the member has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
