Partnership for a Jewish Center

“The organization has two members: The Lerner School and the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation. The members, represented by their respective chairs, vote on the organization's matters.”

“The two member organizations elect the board of the filing organization.”

“BEFORE THE 990 IS SIGNED, IT IS DELIVERED IN DRAFT FORM TO THE EXECUTIVE BOARD FOR THEIR REVIEW and approval.”

“The board members are required to sign a conflict of interest policy upon appointment. Each year the board is required to update said conflict of interest policy and it is reviewed by the executive committee. If a conflict of interest is deemed to exist, a board member shall not participate in any discussion or debate of the board of directors, or of any committee or subcommittee thereof in which the subject of discussion is a contract, transaction, or situation in which there may be a perceived or actual conflict of interest. However, they may be present to provide clarifying information in such a discussion or debate unless objected to by any present board or committee member. Anyone in a position to make decisions about spending the organization's resources (i.e., transactions such as purchases contracts) - who also stands to benefit from that decision - has a duty to disclose that conflict as soon as it arises (or becomes apparent); he or she should not participate in any final decisions.”

“The partnership for a jewish center makes its governing documents, financial statements and any policies available to the public by written request to the chairman of the board.”

“The organization has no paid employees but for the employees who work for related organizations, the related organization handles all compensation and compensation review practices.”
