“A copy of the draft irs form 990 was provided to all board members, and officers prior to its filing with the irs. An outside accounting firm prepares and reviews the form 990.”

“The center has approved a conflict of interest policy for staff, which is provided to each employee, and outlines activities that may constitute a conflict of interest. Staff members are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest on an annual basis, and compliance with the policy is monitored yearly by the executive director. Employees may not accept an invitation to speak before any group as an official representative of the center or engage in teaching activities without first obtaining the approval of the executive director. The board of directors has established a conflict of interest policy applicable to directors and officers. Disclosure of potential conflicts are required to be made by all directors and officers on an annual basis. Disclosures of any such potential conflicts are reviewed annually by the board's governance committee and the executive director. Directors and officers' signed annual certifications of compliance with the conflict of interest policy are on file with the executive director. Any individuals who have a conflict of interest are prohibited from deliberations and voting on the subject transaction.”

“The compensation of the executive director and key employees is established by the board of directors after an independent, outside review of industry surveys, compensation studies, and other data to ensure that executive compensation is within the range of that paid to comparable executives of comparable organizations for comparable services, and therefore reasonable. These reviews are performed on a biennial basis by an independent outside consultant. The last review was performed in 2020 and compensation was found to be within the range for comparable executives at comparable organizations.”

“The center's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and the financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
