Governance Explanations

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

The board of directors review the 990 before it is filed.

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

The organization requires all directors and officers to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest in writing on an annual basis and to make prompt disclosure at the outset of any meeting where relevant matters are considered. Individuals with a conflict of interest are required to recuse themselves from both discussion and voting on the matter. All such disclosures and recusals are recorded in the official minutes of the meeting.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

To determine the executive director's compensation the organization purchased two surveys of non-profit compensation data. The finance subcommittee reviewed the data and made a determination based on size of budget, location, and other factors to determine the executive director's salary. The executive director abstained from the discussion.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statements are available to the public upon request.
