Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1A
“Tft has an executive committee that can exercise the authority of the board between board meetings. The executive committee is comprised of the chair, co-chair, treasurer and secretary of the board. The authority of the executive committee does not include the following: (a) elect, appoint, approve or remove board members (b) change the number of required board members (c) establish committees”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“The board of directors, staff and volunteers are covered under the organization's conflict of interest policy. The board of directors determines whether a conflict exists and the reviews the conflicts. The disinterested members of the board of directors may approve the proposed action or transaction upon finding that it is in the best interests of the corporation. The board shall consider whether the terms of the proposed transactions are fair and reasonable to the organization and whether it would be possible, with reasonable effort, to find a more advantageous arrangement with a party orientated that is not an interested party. On an ongoing basis, it is the expectation set forth in the conflict of interest policy that all board members proactively disclose any potential conflicts that come about, which would be subject to board review.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A
“The compensation for the president/ceo is reviewed on an ongoing basis by the compensation committee, which is comprised of the executive committee as well as the chair of the strategic planning committee. The committee relies on the recent study for comparability data conducted by a compensation consultant in combination with the self-review report submitted by the president/ceo to the committee. The deliberation and final decision are timely documented as part of the board and committee minutes. The process described here was last completed in 2023.”
