“MEIC is an organization that is supported, in part, through the payment of voluntary contributions. Members receive only insubstantial goods and services in exchange for their contributions, and therefore their payments are reported in Part VIII as contributions, not membership dues.”
“Members, who are not divided into classes, elect all of the directors of the organization, although the Board may elect directors to fill vacancies until the next annual election”
“Members must approve the provisions of the By-Laws relating to the number of directors, the terms of office of directors, and the manner in which directors are elected”
“A draft copy of Form 990 is provided to the Board of Directors and staff members for review and comments prior to filing”
“MEIC's conflict of interest policy covers all officers, directors, and key employees. These individuals are required to complete a potential conflict of interest form annually, and the forms are used to monitor any potential conflicts. Any conflicts are resolved by the Board. No one with a potential conflict is allowed to participate in any affected decisions”
“No Directors receive compensation from the organization. Key employees do. Each year the Board approves salaries as part of the budget adoption process. The decisions are documented in writing. The approval process includes a discussion or review of salaries for comparable positions in comparable organizations, but the review is informal because MEIC's salaries are known to be considerably below those of its peers.”
“MEIC makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available on request, and posts its financial statements (as part of Form 990) on its website”
“To financially support the activities of the Montana Environmental Information Center”
