Anacortes Family Center

“The organization's treasurer and president reviewed the 990 prior to filing.”

“The standard of behavior at the anacortes family center is that all staff, volunteers, and board members shall scrupulously avoid conflicts of interest between the interests of the anacortes family center on one hand and personal, professional, and business interests on the other. This includes avoiding potential and actual conflicts of interest, as well as perceptions of conflicts of interest. The purposes of the policy are to protect the integrity of the organization's decision making process, to enable our constituencies to have confidence in our integrity, and to protect the integrity and reputations of volunteers, staff, and board members. Upon or before election, hiring or appointment, volunteers, staff and board members will make a full, written disclosure of interests, relationships, and holdings that could potentially result in a conflict of interest. This written disclosure will be kept on file and will be updated as appropriate. In the course of meetings and activities, volunteers, staff, and board members will disclose any interests in a transaction or decision where they, their families and/or significant others, employees, or close associates will receive a benefit or gain. After disclosure, board members at meetings will be asked to leave the room for the discussion and will not be permitted to vote on the question. This policy is meant to supplement good judgement, and volunteers, staff, and board members will respect its spirit as well as its wording.”

“The board of directors reviews compensation annually and votes to approve any changes in compensation of the executive director. The organization conducts a survey of nonprofits in the region and pulls compensation information from other nonprofits as part of the approval process.”

“The organization provides all required documents open to public inspection to the public upon request.”

“The mission of the anacortes family center is to serve homeless women, children and families in crisis by providing shelter in addition to comprehensive transformational services to achieve long lasting personal success and self-sufficiency.”
