“The chief financial officer reviews the 990 together with the chair prior to filing.”

“The board of directors complete an annual disclosure statement as required by the organization's conflict of interest policy. Board members are also required to notify the board of directors when any transactions arise that could involve an actual or possible conflict of interest. The disclosure statements and any disclosures made are reviewed by the treasurer or board chair for compliance to the organization's conflict of interest policy. If any disclosures require further investigation, the treasurer or board chair work with the board of directors to investigate and resolve any such disclosures. Officers, key employees and members of management are interviewed annually for conflict of interest disclosures. These responses are reviewed by the treasurer or board chair for compliance to the organization's conflict of interest policy. If any disclosures require further investigation, the treasurer works with the board chair to investigate and resolve any such disclosures. Any transactions which require review under the organization's conflict of interest policy are considered by the board or directors. Any individual with a conflict, or who is a party to the transaction being considered, may not participate in the deliberation or decision with respect to the transaction. The board of directors reviews and approves whether to enter into the transaction being considered.”

“Compensation for officers and the organization's key employee was determined based on a review of forms 990 of other comparable organziations, and a careful consideration of each individual's experience, qualifications, knowledge, and the best interests of the organization. This process was undertaken by a group of independent board members. The terms of each co-president's employment, including compensation, are outlined in a written employment contract, and were approved unanimously by all independent members of the board of directors. The board reviews the performance of the officers and key employees and may, at their discretion, approve changes to compensation.”
