“The organization has dues paying members elect the members of the governing body.”

“Dues paying members annually elect members of the governing body (board of directors) at the organizational annual meeting.”

“The form 990 is presented and discussed with the audit committee and finance committee with the paid preparer on hand to answer questions. The executive committee then also reviewed and approved the return. Once approval was completed, a pdf version of the 990 was e-mailed to the full governing body for review. Once all questions and comments were addressed, the 990 was filed with the irs.”

“Annually, conflict of interest statements are completed by the governing board. Any conflicts are reviewed by the board and the ceo and are addressed.”

“A compensation subcommittee of the board determines compensation. The committee obtains and relies upon appropriate data as to comparability prior to approving the terms of compensation. Appropriate data includes compensation levels paid by similar services in the geographic area of the partnership, current compensation surveys compiled by independant firms, and actual written offers from similar institutions competing for the services of the person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement.”

“The partnership makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
