“Our board members disclose potential conflicts of interest at our monthly board meetings. These potential conflicts are discussed by the board and taken into account before voting on decisions that may involve said conflicts. Board members with identified conflicts of interest are excused from voting on related issues, and are asked to leave the room while discussion and voting take place.”

“Our Executive Director's compensation was determined at a board meeting where comparable salaries were presented, BAAY's budget was presented by our Treasurer, and all information reviewed by our Finance and Governance Committees before a salary proposal was made.

“For the first half of the fiscal year our program offerings were comparable to previous years, but COVID restrictions forced us to cancel all in-person classes, rehearsals and performances beginning in March 2020. With the exception of our Preschool, we were able to adapt our approach and offer a variety of on-line classes, some of which were versions of our traditional classes and some of which were entirely new. The Preschool remains closed for now, but the online classes for elementary and secondary aged students have been very well received. Not only have we been able to continue offering programming for students ages 5-18, but we have identified new instructional opportunities that we can integrate into our traditional curriculum once we are able to resume normal operations.”
