Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

A draft of the completed form 990 is reviewed by the executive director, approved by the finance committee, prior to being circulated to the full board and then filed.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

On an annual basis, the board of directors signs a conflict of interest questionnaire that identifies and explains any conflicts of interest that a board member may have. If a conflict of interest arises during the year to a matter requiring action by the board, the board member must immediately disclose this to the board, retire from the room in which the board is meeting, and shall not participate in the final deliberation or decision regarding the matter under consideration. The minutes of the board meeting shall reflect these issues.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

The executive director's compensation is reviewed annually by the board of directors during the budget approval process. The board considers multiple factors including the executive director's performance, salaries at comparable organizations, and cost of living adjustments. Compensation is voted on and approved by the full board of directors.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Explore ecology makes its form 990, form 1023, governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
