Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

“Each member of the board receives a copy of the form 990 for review before it is filed and has an opportunity to ask accountants for clarification or further details for any section or question. Only after the review is completed is the form 990 filed.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

“Board members sign the conflict of interest form annually and are asked to report or alert to any potential conflicts. None have been reported to date. If any were, that person would recuse themselves from any deliberations or decisions with regard to a transaction or agreement on a contract or business relationship. The executive director also seeks advice on potential areas of conflict of interest from the organization's accountants and lawyer. The organization recently adopted a sexual harassment policy.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

“Copies of these documents are available to the public upon request.”
