Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

Not applicable. No committee exists with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

Board members were given the opportunity to review the form 990 and comment.

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

The conflict of interest policy covers all members of the board and is monitored by periodic reviews which are reviewed and maintained by the members of the board. The entire board reviews each transaction to come before the board for potential or actual conflicts of interest. If potential or actual conflicts (past, present or future) are identified, the conflicted person recuses from deliberation and voting on the matter at hand, and the board determines whether the path that entails the conflict is or is not the most appropriate way of fulfilling the relevant situation. The identified conflicts of interest and appropriate recusals are documented in the minutes of each board meeting.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The process for determining compensation of the organization's executive director and program director includes a review and approval by non-conflicted board members. The review process, conducted most recently in november 2014, used comparability data obtained from comparable business associations using the charity navigator report and similar sources. The deliberations and decisions are documented in the minutes of the board meeting.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Upon request, but organization plans to post to web site moving forward.
