Governance Explanations

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

“During the year, any questions that may arise are directed to an independent certified public accountant. Just after the taxable year end, the financial information is provided to the independent certified public accountant for review and preparation of the form 990. Once this process is complete, the first draft of the form 990 is reviewed by the executive director and the board of directors. Upon their approval, the form 990 is signed by the appropriate nonprofit official and the return is filed.”

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

“The board of directors routinely and on a regular basis review their conflict of interest policy and requires all board members to disclose annually any interests that could give rise to conflicts.”

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

“Executive director's compensation package was reviewed and approved by the board of directors and included contemporaneous substantiation of said process.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19
