“There is an Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Committee is comprised of five members all of whom are members of the Board and officers of the organization. During intervals between Board meetings the Committee is empowered to exercise all of the Board's authority other than the authority to appoint or elect Board members.”

“The organization's process for reviewing Form 990: 1. After the staff completes a draft of the Form 990 it is sent to all members of the Form 990 Committee of the Board and the Committee Chair leads a section-by-section discussion of the draft at a meeting of the Committee. 2. The Board reviews the draft Form 990 at its regular meeting after completion in a section-by-section discussion led by the President or his her designee. 3. The Executive Director signs and dates the Form 990 including any changes recommended by the Committee or the Board and sends copies to all Board members. 4. The Form 990 is filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the due date of return.”

“To monitor and enforce compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy all Trustees officers and any key employees annually complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire responses are reviewed to determine if any such individuals have actual or potential conflicts of interest. If any actual or potential conflicts are identified they are brought to the attention of the Board for appropriate disposition.”

“The organization's process for determining the Executive Director's compensation is as follows: 1. The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees meets at least once each year to set the Executive Director's compensation for the following calendar year. None of the Committee members has a conflict of interest with respect to the Executive Director's compensation arrangements. The Committee utilizes comparability data and keeps contemporaneous minutes of its deliberations and decisions. 2. The Committee reports its decisions to the Board at the regular December meeting of the Board. In 2020 the only position for which this process was used was that of the Executive Director. This process has not been used for any other officers or key employees since no other officers are compensated and the organization has no other key employees.”

“The organization makes available to the general public its governing documents conflict of interest policy 990 and financial statements by providing copies upon request.”
