“Accountant prepared form 990 and a member of the executive committe reviewed the final form. A copy of the final form was made available to each board member for their review at the regular board meeting before the filing deadline.”

“At the last regular board meeting prior to the organization's year end, each board member was provided with a copy of the conflict of interest policy. In addition, each board member was given a statement to sign and return to the organization which discloses the interests, if any, that could give rise to conflicts between the board member and the organization.”

“To determine the compensation for the organization's chief professional officer, the executive committee met in special session. Prior to the meeting, the board president compiled salary data from other local not- for-profit agencies by obtaining form 990 information from www.guidestar.com. At the meeting, the committee discussed the comparability data and related it to the salary history of the chief professional officer as well as job performance and expectations. Discussions, analysis, and the final decision were documented by the committee. Each member of the committee signed the document verifying their approval and that each was independent and had no conflict of interest which would proclude them from a fair decision. The executive committee's decision was then taken before the full board for final approval. There are no other officers or key employees of the organization therefore making no the appropriate answer for line 15b.”
