“A draft of the Form 990 is provided to the board for review. Any needed edits are made prior to filing.”

“The Board of Directors and organization's management employees review and update the conflict of interest policy annually. Each year the members of the Board sign the Conflict of Interest policy which asks them to disclose any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest. For any conflicts disclosed, the Board has a conversation without that Board Member present to discuss how to handle the conflict. Resolution can include that board member not being able to participate in discussions about or vote on issues related to the conflict, or it could include that board member not being able to serve in an executive role on the Board. This annual process does not preclude the Boards responsibility to handle and discuss any conflict of interest that could arise during the year. That conflict would be handled in the same manner, with the conflicted board member not participating in the discussion.”

“The board of Directors determines the Executive Director's annually using comparability data and include the substantiation of its decision in the minutes. The organization has no other key employees.”

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