Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

The 990 is mailed to all board members to review. It is first approved by the ceo, then the audit committee reviews and approves the 990. The form is not filed until all board members have reviewed.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Annually, board members and key employees are required to review the conflict of interest policy, and sign a document affirming that they have read and understand the policy. They must indicate if any conflict of interest exists, and fully describe such conflict. They are also required to bring to the board's attention any conflict of interest that may arise.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

A review is done using comparative data of equal positions within comparable organizations. Experience and seniority are a factor of consideration. Independent opinions are sought to substantiate the decisions.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

The policy for management and administrative staff is to receive an annual increase of 3% or a minimum of 1,000, provided the budget allows. Exceptions can be made to this policy based on exceptional merit, but within the comparative norm.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

The irs form 990 is made public upon request, on our website, and through guidestar, another website. Other documents are available upon request, including annual financial statements, articles of incorporation, by-laws, and conflict of interest policy.
