Governance Explanations

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

The organization did not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body during the year.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

The organization will be providing a complete copy of the form 990 to its governing body (board of directors) and all members before the final filing. The organization gave the board of directors 10 days to review the form 990, including all schedules, and provide comments and edits before filing the final form.

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

Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers annually signs a conflict of interest policy statement. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers 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 leaves the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members decide if a conflict of interest exists. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she leaves the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee determines whether sjp can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement 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 possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in sjp's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it makes its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The board of directors determines and approves the compensation of the executive director & deputy director. The board used comparability data analysis to help determine the compensation of its officers. The deliberations and decisions were documented in the meeting minutes. The most recent compensation review took place in february 2015.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

All governing documents are available to the public upon request, including previous filings and incorporation documentation.
