“All board members are given copies of the draft form 990 and accompanying schedules to review. They are encouraged to ask questions. The draft form 990 is discussed and approved in a board meeting prior to filing with the irs.”

“Board members review and certify understanding and compliance by signing the conflict of interest policy when they join the board. Annually, the policy is reviewed at a board meeting and the board members are required to initial and recertify that they are in compliance. Additionally, if and when such a conflict arises, the member must report the conflict to the board president within five days. The president consults the board to determine if any action is needed to minimize the conflict. During this time, the member's authority and participation are determined by the board through open discussion, until a decision is made regarding the conflict.”

“Compensation of the executive director is discussed, at least twice per year, during board meetings. Data considered when determining compensation includes job description, qualifications of staff member, comparable salaries in the region, and cost of living.”
