“The board of directors will be provided a copy of the form 990 before it is filed to review with the executive director.”

“Any director or principal officer of the corporation who has a direct or indirect financial interest is an interested person. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the board meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. If no conflict of interest exists, the interested person may participate in a discussion of and vote on the transaction or arrangement in question. If a conflict of interest does exist, an interested person may make a presentation at the board meeting, but after such presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest. The chairperson of the board shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board shall determine whether the corporation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board shall determine, by a majority vote of the disinterested members, whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.”

“The organization's board of directors reviewed and approved the executive director's compensation. The compensation decision was documented in a board meeting. This process was last performed during 2014.”

“Ohio must be a place where average citizens can achieve their goals, raise a family and prosper. But to do that, ohio must continue to have leaders who are friendly to economic growth and who are willing to make the right decisions to lower the economic burden on the tax payers, keep government spending under control, and focus on creating jobs instead of growing government bureaucracy. We only need look at the headlines from washington to see the consequences of bad policymaking. Unfortunately, some in ohio would have state government pursue washington-like "solutions" of higher taxes and higher spending-and whether from partisan or policy motives, have chosen to attack those who believe government should live within its means and focus on growing jobs not government. Renew ohio has been formed to set that record straight and promote good decisions. Renew ohio believes there needs to be an independent voice supporting wise policymaking by state leaders. To further that goal, renew ohio will educate ohioans on needed reform and will praise those who pursue it and criticize those who do not. Our hope is that the work of renew ohio will encourage all state leaders republicans and democrats alike to make the right decisions to improve ohio's future.”
