“Any person, club, association, society, corporation, or foundation shall be eligible for election to membership in the association, provided, however, that such person, club, association, society, corporation, or foundation has contributed to the association in the last calendar year an amount not less than the minimum amount established from time to time by the board of directors as a prerequisite to membership. The board of directors shall also have authority to establish classes of memberships, based on the amount of annual contribution.”

“The finance committee, which includes jpa's board president, is given a copy of the form 990 for review prior to it being filed with the irs. The board of directors also receives the form 990 prior to its filing.”

“Jpa's policy does not allow any business contracts to be entered into with a board memeber or a related party and the executive director is the only person who can enter into a contract on behalf of jpa. The finance committee reviews the contracts entered into during the fiscal year to ensure no conflicts have arisen during the year.”

“The finance committee grants a pool of money to be allocated for raises on a yearly basis. Each employee has an evaluation by their supervisor on their anniversary date and is given a raise based on their merit. This raise recommendation then goes to the executive director for approval. The executive director is reviewed annually by the executive committee and their recommendation is approved by the board of directors, and duly noted in their minutes of the board meetings. One or more compensation surveys are gathered each year. We have used the survey "compensations for not profits" by adp and the child care association of illinois as examples.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”
