“A draft of the 990 is emailed to the director of finance and the executive director for their review. They forward copies to all board members with instructions for reviewing and approving. Once the 990 is approved by the board members, it is filed.”

“Before any meeting of the board of directors, an agenda will be circulated to each director. It will contain agenda items described in sufficient detail to allow members of the board to identify possible conflicts of interest. A member of the board with a conflict of interest will declare the same in writing to the chair of the meeting prior to the introduction of the agenda item in question. The written disclosure will explain: 1. The fact that a conflict of interest may exist. 2. The nature of and extent of the interest. 3. The nature and amount of potential direct or indirect benefit to the member of the board of directors. The particulars of any such disclosure are noted in the minutes of the meeting. The member of the board who has disclosed a conflict of interest regarding an agenda item will refrain from participating in discussions and voting on the item, and will leave the meeting room when the board reaches that agenda item. The director's departure from the meeting room will be noted in the minutes. After discussion by the board of that agenda item, the director will return, and the results shall be noted in the minutes.”

“The organization makes such documents available to the public on the organization's website and upon request.”
