“The return was prepared by outside accountants and reviewed by the executive director and treasurer, then submitted to the board for final approval before submitting.”

“The organization monitors and enforces its conflict of interest policy by annually requiring attestations from interest persons. In the event that it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, and the officer or director has made full disclosure of the facts surrounding the conflict, then the board of directors determines whether the officer or director may fully participate in the deliberations and vote on the proposed transaction. If the officer or director merely discloses the existence of the conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest, yet fails to disclose or is prohibited from disclosing all material facts regarding the conflict, then such officer or director is prohibited in participating in any manner or form in the deliberations or decisions regarding the affected transaction. No individual who has an actual conflict of interest is required to resign his or her position with the corporation merely because of the existence of a conflict. However, the remaining members of the board of directors may make a fair and full evaluation of all facts pertaining to the conflict of interest to determine its extent. If the remaining members of the board of directors make a determination in writing that the nature and extent of the conflict of interest is so substantial and of such a continuing nature that it would be impossible for the director or officer to discharge the duties of his or her office with the requisite degree of loyalty and integrity, then the board of directors may require the resignation of the director or officer who is subject to the conflict of interest.”

“The compensation of the executive director is reviewed and approved by the board members based on the executive director's historical compensation and expanded responsibilities attributable to the growth and complexity of the organization.
