Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

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

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7B

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

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

A draft copy of Form 990 is provided to the Board of Directors and staff members for review and comments prior to filing

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

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

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

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
