“From NRB Constitution and Bylaws: ARTICLE VI - Membership Meetings SECTION 1. Annual. An annual meeting of the members shall be held during the first five months of the calendar year, at such time and place as shall be fixed by the Executive Committee. The Secretary shall oversee the sending of written notice of the time and place of the annual meeting to each member not less than six months in advance of the meeting.

“The Form 990 is first sent to the CPA firm who performs the annual audit of the organization's annual financial statements for their review. It is then given to the NRB Executive Committee and the CEO who performs a final review. The CEO then signs the Form 990 which is then filed with the IRS.”

“NRB requires all officers and board members to annually complete and sign a conflict of interest questionnaire. The board chair is responsible for reviewing the signed statements and ensuring that interested persons are in compliance with the conflict of interest policy. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.”

“When considering the total compensation of the NRB President and CEO, the Compensation Subcommittee of the Finance and Audit Committee met and reviewed multiple sources of compensation comparability data. After review, the Finance and Audit Committee presented its recommendations to the NRB Executive Committee for approval. Executive Committee action took place in Executive Session during its regularly scheduled meeting which is documented in the minutes that are taken.”
