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

“The organization has a conflict of interest policy - with respect to directors, officers and key employees that have an interest (either financially or through an affiliation with a transacting party) in a transaction that the board is considering for its approval. Prior to a director's initial election to the board, or an officer or key employee's employment, and thereafter on an annual basis, all directors, officers, and key employees shall annually sign and submit to the secretary of the corporation a statement which affirms such person: (a) has received a copy of this policy, (b) has read and understands the policy, and (c) has agreed to comply with the policy. The policy provides for (a) disclosure to the board by the interested director of his or her interest in the transaction, and (b) having the interested director abstain from any vote taken by the board on the transaction.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The executive director's and interim executive director's compensation are approved by the board of directors, and was determined by reviewing forms 990 of other similarly sized organizations. The organization has no other compensated officers or key employees.”
