“The bylaws were amended to change the structure of the board of directors to three classes: class a, class b, and class c. Class a directors hold office for a six year term and can be removed from the board by a unanimous vote of the directors. Class b directors hold office for a three year term, and class c for a one year term. Class b and c directors can be removed from the board by a two-thirds vote of the directors. The board of directors shall now consist of at least three directors and not more than eleven directors. The officers duties are further defined in the amended bylaws and the office of vice-president has been removed.”

“An accounting firm prepares and reviews the 990. The 990 is then reviewed by the organization's officers. Any questions or concerns the organization's officers have are addressed and any corrections or clarifications that need to be made are made. A copy of the 990 is provided to the board prior to filing.”

“ANNUALLY EACH director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, IS ASKED TO REVIEW THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND UPDATE THEIR DISCLOSURE. Periodic reviews are also conducted. IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DOES EXIST, THE INTERESTED PERSON SHALL DISCLOSE THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS. THE REMAINING COMMITTEE MEMBERS OR BOARD MEMBERS WILL DISCUSS AND VOTE IF A CONFLICT EXISTS. AFTER EXERCISING DUE DILIGENCE, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION CAN OBTAIN WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT THAT DOES NOT GIVE RISE TO CONFLICT. IF A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSATION OR ARRANGEMENT IS NOT REASONABLY POSSIBLE, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITEE SHALL DETERMINE BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS WHETHER THE TRANSATION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE ORGANIZATION'S BEST INTEREST.”

“The conflict of interest policy, the articles of incorporation, bylaws and the form 990 are posted to the organizations website.”
