“There are no material differences in voting rights among members of the governing body, and the governing body has not delegated broad authority to an executive committee or similar committee.”

“The organization has a small board of directors. There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the board of directors.”

“Review of form 990. The organization's staff provides necessary documentation and data via questionnaires to the accountant. Once the draft of the form 990 has been prepared by the accountant, the organization's management reviews the form for accuracy. When the draft is approved by management, the 990 is sent by electronic means to each board member for review and approval. If there are any changes, they will be incorporated into the draft. Once the board has approved the 990, management conveys approval to the accountant to finalize the draft. The final form 990 is signed by the executive director and filed in a timely manner with the appropriate state and federal authorities. Form 990 is available for public review on www.guidestar.org”

“Written conflict of interest policy. Annually the board, management and all employees review and sign their copies of the conflict of interest policy to disclose any conflicts. Copies are reviewed by management for reportable conflicts. Any conflicts are noted in the board minutes. Board members that have conflicts of interest are prohibited from participating or voting in board activities related to the conflict.”

“Immunize.org does not make its articles of incorporation, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, or financial statements available to the general public.”
