Hamilton Partnership for Paterson Inc

“The organization does not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body”

“The board of trustees receive digital and physical copies of the form 990 prior to the quarterly board meeting when the audit is presented and approved by the board. Each trustee is encouraged to review the form and submit comments via e-mail prior to the meeting or voice their comments at the meeting prior to the filing of the form 990.”

“The organization currently has in place a conflict of interest policy which it annually monitors and enforces. The board currently mandates that all trustees and principal officers annually sign a conflict of interest policy and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. The signed conflict of interest policy is submitted to the board who reviews the signed attestations for potential or actual conflicts. If a potential or actual conflict exists, the board or committee will inform the member of the basis of such belief and afford the member an opportunity to respond. The board or committee will disclose the conflict of interest and how the conflict was handled. The person with the actual conflict of interest will be prohibited from voting on the matter that gives rise to the conflict. If there has been substantial and repeated failures to disclose actual conflicts of interest, the board may take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action, including removal of the member.”

“The organization engaged the nonprofit center at lasalle university's school of business to undertake a president compensation study. This study was completed in 2019. The president's compensation was reviewed and approved by the board's executive committee. The approval was documented in the minutes.”

“The organization makes its form 990, governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial information available to the public upon request at 72 mcbride avenue, paterson, nj 07501.”
