Governance Explanations

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

“David Hartney, President and CEO, reviews the 990 with Richard Sherrill, Board Treasurer, and Peter Dow, Chairman of the Board, before it is signed and filed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The conflict of interest policy applies to members of the board of directors. Each year, at the spring board meeting, each board member is asked to review the conflict of interest policy. Any identified conflicts are discussed - involved board members excuse themselves from the room during deliberations and voting on those issues.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“A board sub-committee reviews compensation of the president and key employees and makes confidential recommendations to the board. The president and key employees are not present during these deliberations.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Form 990 is available via www.guidestar.org.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0David Hartney, President and CEO, reviews the 990 with Richard Sherrill, Board Treasurer, and Peter Dow, Chairman of the Board, before it is signed and filed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The conflict of interest policy applies to members of the board of directors. Each year, at the spring board meeting, each board member is asked to review the conflict of interest policy. Any identified conflicts are discussed - involved board members excuse themselves from the room during deliberations and voting on those issues.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2A board sub-committee reviews compensation of the president and key employees and makes confidential recommendations to the board. The president and key employees are not present during these deliberations.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Form 990 is available via www.guidestar.org.
