“The executive committee has authority to act on behalf of the governing body in between board meetings.”

“The board of directors will review the form 990 prior to electronically filing the return with the irs.”

“Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands the organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. 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 shall leave 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 shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.”

“The compensation for the executive director is approved by the independent board members after reviewing comparable compensation paid to executive directors of other nonprofits of similar size. The decisions are documented in the board minutes.”

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