Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

The form 990 was prepared by the outside auditors and reviewed and approved by the mbn board of directors.

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

Mbn requires that its board members, officers, and employees disclose their involvement in any activity, practice, or conduct that may conflict with or might reasonably appear to conflict with the interests of mbn. The purpose of this policy is to prevent the interests of any board member, officer or employee from interfering with the performance of his or her duties to mbn, and to ensure that there is no personal, professional, or political gain made at the expense of mbn. This policy requires that disclosure of any conflicts of interest and the recusal of any interested party in a decision relating to the conflict. Furthermore, whenever any director, officer, or employee has a conflict of interest or a perceived conflict of interest with mbn, he or she notifies the general counsel of such conflict in writing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The board of directors determines and approves the salary for the president based on a salary survey and comparable data of similarly ranked senior executive service (ses) employees of the federal government. The board documents the determination of the president's compensation. The last salary review for the president was in 2010. Mbn hires an independent company to analyze compensation and pay bands for all other employees. A global compensation review was completed in december 2016. The review included all positions within the organization.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request.
