Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 10B
“Chapters of the organization exist on campuses throughout the country and are mostly collegiate and some high school.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“The operations team completes the form and shares it with the executive director. Once it has been reviewed, the form is shared with the governing body.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“The executive committee of the board of directors regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy by reviewing annual statements and taking other such actions as are necessary for effective oversight. The policy states that 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 board or executive committee. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the board or executive committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or executive committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board or executive committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in da's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
