“The completed form 990 will be reviewed by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer prior to submission to the finance committee for review.

“On an annual basis, board members, officers, directors and key employees receive a copy of riverlife's existing conflict of interest policy and disclosure form for completion.

The completed forms are reviewed and monitored by the executive committee.”
