“The organization has two classes of members: organizational and individual members.”

“Organizational members have the power to collectively appoint three members of the board of directors. Also, the national leadership committee, which is elected by organizational members, has the right to designate three board members.”

“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by the accounting staff, treasurer, legal counsel, and the executive director. A copy of the return was provided to the board prior to filing with the irs.”

“Each director, officer or member of a committee of the organization is under a continuing obligation to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest to the board or committee as soon as it is known, or reasonably should be known. In connection with any actual or potential conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest or organizational conflict in a writing. Each candidate for the board must submit a disclosure form prior to the election for such candidate and each board member must complete a disclosure form and submit it to the board annually, prior to any vote of the board, and upon learning of any actual or potential conflict. After disclosure of the financial interest or the organizational conflict, the interested person leaves the board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The chairperson of the board or committee may, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board or committee determines whether the corporation 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 board or committee determines by a majority vote of the disinterested members of the board or committee whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit and fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, the corporation makes its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“The organization hired a consultant to develop a proposed salary scale for employees and to research salary levels for the executive director. These were presented to the board, which approved the salary scale and determined the salary of the executive director. The deliberation and decision of the board review is documented in the meeting minutes. The salary scale is used for all staff compensation. The most recent review took place in april 2017.”

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