“The executive board is composed of all officers of the board of directors plus the chairs of each standing committee. The executive committee assists cca management in monitoring the business of cca between regularly scheduled meetings. It is also authorized to address and resolve all personnel issues deemed by the executive committee to require its attention.”

“Cca has delegated certain management duties to glen katlein, an independent consultant and member of b2b cfo partners, llc. These management duties consist of some duties customarily performed by a chief financial officer; including reviewing work performed by cca accounting staff employees; reviewing financial reports provided to the ceo, board of directors, and audit-finance committee; and reviewing form 990 and audit report drafts. Glen katlein does not have authority or control of cca activities; however, he does provide leadership guidance and recommendations to the ceo and the board based on these review duties.”

“The form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm. It is then reviewed by the controller, comparing it to the audited financials. Following approval by the cfo consultant, it is then provided to the ceo/president for his review, and then to the board for approval. Once accepted, it is filed with the irs.”

“All board members are required to sign an annual conflict of interest statement disclosing any potential conflicts of interest. Conflict of interest policy is monitored annually by the board. All potential conflicts of interest, no matter how small or insignificant, are to be reported to the board chair prior to engaging in a conflict of interest action. The board chair will ask the board of directors to make a decision as to whether the relationship is an appropriate one for cca. The board member declaring the conflict will have no vote on the matter. Moreover, the person having a conflict shall retire from the room in which the board (or its committee) is meeting and shall not participate in the final deliberation regarding the matter under consideration. However, the person shall be permitted to provide the board or committee with any and all relevant information prior to leaving the meeting.”

“The president's/ceo compensation is determined by the board governance committee and communicated to the board of directors. The board governance committee receives input from the directors. A compensation survey of other not-for-profit organizations is also considered in determining the president's compensation package. The commitee and board discussions are documented concurrently with the meeting.”

“The governing documents and organization's conflict of interest policy are made available upon request. The organization's financial statements are published in the annual report and mailed to donors. The financial statements are made available upon request and on the organization's website.”
