“The annual tax form 990 is prepared by our cpa firm from information provided by management. The executive director, the associate director, the finance committee, and executive committee of the board are provided copies of the form 990 draft for review and input, prior to filing. A copy of the form is also distributed to the full board prior to filing.”

“The annual process includes: 1. The policy is reviewed with all officers and board members 2. All board members and officers complete the inquiry form annually, noting any conflict or potential conflict in writing. 3. A summary of any disclosures is compiled and filed by the executive director. 4. The executive director forwards copies of the disclosure statements to the board chairperson, who then confers with legal counsel if necessary. 5. The board chairperson then makes a final determination whether any conflicts are sufficiently serious to require the person no longer participates in the role of director, officer, committee member, etc.”

“The executive committee of the board of directors reviews the salaries, recommends any increases, and gives approval. Data looked at includes employee's experience level and credentials, along with local compensation comparisons and what is happening economically in the region. Executive compensation is approved by the finance committee and ultimately, the board of directors, as part of the annual budget approval process.”

“Based on statistics compiled during the first four years of vision screenings provided to children in partnership with dozens of eye care professionals during healthy vision week, npef noted an ongoing, more broad-based need for vision screenings, as well as recognized the program was not effectively reaching the socioeconomically underserved population of children. After its launch and implementation, cvsi (referenced in part iii, line 4a) was determined to better serve these needs, and healthy vision week was discontinued. Significant changes in the award of the health-care education scholarship were implemented in 2013, and are described in part iii, line 4c.”

“Well as why the child is being referred to an eye care professional. In the case of children who require a complete eye exam, additional information is provided as to the meaning of conditions identified on the screening result, eye care professionals in the region and agencies that may provide assistance to families in need. When the child receives an eye exam, an evaluation form is provided to the eye care professional, which the eye care professional is asked to complete and return to npef. In our first year of cvsi, which began in may 2012 with a pilot screening and concluded in may 2013, we screened 1759 children, exceeding our goal, which was to screen 1000 children. Long-term, our strategy is to expand cvsi state-wide through partnerships with the eye care industry, donors and businesses in order to sustain this important and worthwhile initiative.”
