Governance Explanations

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

“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

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

“The draft version of the federal form 990 is first reviewed by the president and executive director. After the president and the executive director review the draft form 990, it is then circulated to the full board of directors prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

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

“In implementing the conflict of interest policy, ejul requires various disclosures to be made, which include a disclosure statement, particular transactions or arrangements, and organizational filings. After receiving disclosure of the interest and the materials facts to the board of directors, the board of directors will discuss and vote upon the question of whether a conflict of interest exists or not. Any related party with respect to such interest shall leave the meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. A majority vote of the disinterested members of the board of directors shall be required to determine whether a conflict of interest exists or could reasonably be construed to exist.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The executive director's compensation is set by the board of directors. The board of directors voted to tie the compensation amount to the federal pay scale. In the end, the executive director voluntarily elects to take an amount lower than that of the federal pay scale.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
