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

“We have all persons in positions of authority - board members and employees - review and sign the conflict of interest policy annually. Anything disclosed is reviewed by the chairman, vice-chair, treasurer, and president.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The president is given objectives annually and reviewed by the board of directors at the end of the fiscal year. The board of directors reviews compensation, discusses any changes, and the chairman of the board communicates with the president. Each employee receives an annual review at the end of the fiscal year. Direct supervisors, along with the president discuss performance and compensation. The employee is invited to an in-person review which is followed up with a written summary of the conversation. Once the employee approves/signs the summary and compensation it is filed in their personnel file. The process described here was last completed in 2025.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Currently the organization's governing documents and financial statements are not made available to the public. The public disclosure of these documents is not required by the internal revenue code. The organization's financial information is disclosed on this form 990.”
