“Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm. The return was reviewed in detail by the Director of Financial Operations and then sent to the Board for their review before being filed with the IRS.”

“The finance and management teams monitor all transactions. Any potential conflicts of interest identified are brought to the board's attention and the member with a conflict excuses himself from the decision making process. The remaining board members then vote to decide whether the transaction is in the best interests of the organization. Board members and officers are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest on an annual basis which are reviewed by the VP/Board Secretary.”

“The compensation committee, consisting of independent members of the board of directors, is responsible for determining compensation and benefits for the CEO and other corporate officers. In making their decisions, comparability data is referenced including compensation and benefits provided to individuals holding similar positions, at similar organizations, in similar geographic regions. All compensation related deliberations and decisions are recorded in communications with the HR contractor.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and finanical statements are available upon request.”
