“The form 990 is prepared by the accountants and reviewed by management as instructed by the board. Once all revisions are made as necessary for irs filing, a copy is sent to all board members.”

“Each year the organization's conflict of interest policy is provided to all officers and directors. These people are asked to review the policy and sign a statement indicating that they understand the policy, have reported all potential conflicts during the past year in accordance with the policy and will report all potential conflicts during the coming year. All potential conflicts are evaluated by the board to determine if a conflict actually exists. In those instances where the potential transaction is a conflict, the board examines the transaction and a vote is taken (with those involved recusing themselves) as to whether the organization will enter into the transaction.”

“Annually the board conducts a performance review and evaluation of the executive director. The review also establishes the individual's compensation for the following year. This process involves the evaluation of the individual and a review of compensation of comparable positions obtained from the form 990 of similar organizations.”

“The organization makes its governing documents (articles of incorporation and by-laws), its conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request. The organization will mail copies upon request or provide copies to those who come to the administrative office during normal business hours. The organization charges for the copies in accordance with irs regulations.”

“The oversight of the review has not changed from the prior year.”
