Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Line 2
“Jim Rogers, Joe Hale, and John Stowell had a business relationship.”
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B
“Kurt Meadows checked with Joe Hale (President) for any questions he had while completing this filing (October 2015). Review will be conducted with Joe Hale, and other board members will be invited to attend when it is completed for final review.”
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C
“Any partnership or relationship with a person or entity must be discussed with the group before talks can commence. We analyze the relationship characteristics to see if there will be any conflicts of interest, and we terminate the talks if anyone has reservations regarding the potential relationship.”
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A
“The Board analyzed salary data comparable to the industry standard, the Executive Director's experience, responsibilities, and time required. With that, they decided on compensation. Joe Hale, the Executive Director, was never a part of any salary discussion. The organization contemporaneously documents and recordkeeps for deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation arrangement.”
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19
“It is the policy of the Corporation and its Board of Directors that the Corporation's directors, officers, and employees carry out their respective duties in a fashion that avoids actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. The Corporation's directors, officers, and employees shall have the continuing, affirmative duty to report any personal ownership, interest, or other relationship that might affect their ability to exercise impartial, ethical, and business-based judgments in fulfilling their responsibilities to the Corporation. The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.”
