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

“Staff and Board members sign a form every year where they can list any potential conflicts of interest.

If there is even the appearance of a potential conflict, staff and board members are requested to disclose it on the form. The forms are collected and reviewed by the Executive Director and Board of Directors, and any conflicts or potential conflicts are reviewed and discussed in order to take appropriate action.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
