Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“In conjunction with information provided by the organization, the form 990 was prepared by the organization's outside public accounting firm. Once a draft of the return was complete, the form 990 was reviewed by management and provided to the governing body before filing.”

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

“The organization's conflict of interest policy addresses the transactions and arrangements involving eci's directors, officers, members of any committee of the board of directors with authority to act on behalf of the board of directors and executive employees. In addition, the policy covers any other manager or supervisor identified by the board of directors of the president as exercising substantial influence over the operations of the organization. Every covered person is required to sign a statement that affirms that he or she has received a copy of the policy, has read and understands it, and has agreed to comply with it, and completes annually a questionnaire disclosing actual and potential conflicts of interest. All disclosures involving a transaction or arrangement being considered at a meeting of the board of directors or committee is made to all members present at the meeting. All other disclosures are made to the president. Evaluation of the disclosure occurs at the board of director level. An individual with an actual or potential conflict of interest is not present for or leaves any portion of a meeting at which the board of directors or a committee is voting to determine whether a conflict exists. In addition, the person with the potential conflict is not present for or does not participates in any portion of a meeting where the issue is considered.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

Additionally, officers' compensation is subject to review by the board of directors. During the year, there were no officer level employees. Executive/officer level functions were executed by members of the board of directors, whom performed these functions pro bono.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

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

FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A, LINE 7,BOARD COMPENSATION:
