Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3

“Line 3 explanation - gsf is in contract with executive director, inc., an association management company.”

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

“Line 11b explanation - the organizations form 990 and all applicable schedules are reviewed by the officers and made available to the board members. Upon officer approval, the forms are signed and filed with the appropriate taxing authorities.”

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

“Gsf's conflict of interest policy covers officers, directors, any person serving on a committee with board-delegated powers, and if in the future, executive staff. Persons are annually required to disclose any financial or business interests which could give rise to conflicts. If new interests arise during the year covered persons are required to disclose any new interest immediately. The person with conflict will be excused from discussion and the board of directors will determine whether a conflict exists as it relates to any proposed transaction. Depending on the conflict the board will determine whether to take no action, assure full disclosure to the board and other individuals covered by the policy, ask the person to refrain from participation in related discussions/decisions within the organization, or ask the person to resign or be removed from their position in gsf.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Gsf makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and form 990 available for public inspection upon request. All requests should be in writing to the gsf office.”
