Governance Explanations

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

“An independent CPA prepares the Form 990 and meets with the Executive Director to review a draft copy of the form. The Executive Director forwards the Form 990 and audited financial statements to the Finance Committee. Upon the completion of their review, a recommendation for approval is submitted to the full Board of Directors for final review and approval (which can be done by e-mail). All changes addressed by the Finance Committee and/or the Board of Directors, if any, are made to the return.”

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

“On an annual basis, a questionnaire is given to Board Members asking them to disclose any conflict of interests. The questionnaires are dated and filed. Board Members excuse themselves from voting on any board items where a conflict of interest has been disclosed.”

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

“The Executive Director's salary is determined annually by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after considering factors such as job performance, job adherence, budget constraints, and comparative salary survey information.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Governing documents are made available to the public upon request. This fact is disclosed on an annual basis in our newsletter.”
