“During fy24, the organization amended its bylaws to provide greater clarity in the following areas: - committee organization - board member term limits - conflict of interest policy - board meeting absences”

“The organizations form 990 was prepared by the organizations cpa in consultation with the organizations executive director. It was reviewed in detail by the organizations treasurer. A complete copy of the form 990 was provided to the organizations board of directors for approval before it was filed.”

“The organization provides a copy of its conflict of interest policy to all board members and management during onboarding. In addition, a copy is provided annually. All board members and management are required to review the policy and sign a disclosure statement, which acknowledges and understanding of the policy and discloses any potential conflicts of interest they are aware of. All potential conflicts of interest are reviewed by the governance committee to determine the appropriate action to be taken to eliminate or mitigate risks posed by the conflict. The organization requires that board members with conflict of interest be recused from the deliberation and voting related to a transaction or action in which they may have conflict.”

“At the time of hire and on an annual basis following, a committee of the board of directors establishes the executive directors compensation. The organization requires that no member of the committee have a conflict of interest related to the compensation arrangement. The committee uses salary surveys (including the utah nonprofits association compensation survey), publicly available 990s, and other information for similar positions and similar organizations within the region to establish a reasonable level of compensation. The committee contemporaneously documents its discussions and decisions in committee minutes. The organizations board members do not receive compensation from the organization.”

“The organizations governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request to the organizations office. In addition, the organizations 990s for the past several years are available through guidestar.org and the organizations articles of incorporation are available through the utah department of commerce division of corporations and commercial code. The organization's financial statements are available at the organization's discretion upon request.”
