Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“Form 990 is reviewed by the cfo and approved by the president of the organization and forwarded to the board of directors before filing.”

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

“Individuals with knowledge of possible conflicts of interest must disclose the conflict to the other directors, other members of a committee of the board of directors, or an officer of the organization. Upon disclosure, the remaining directors, or in the event of an employee, the officers of the organization, will gather information and determine whether a conflict exists. If it is determined that a conflict does exist, then the interested person will be recused from any decision making position with regard to the transaction. A transaction, arrangement, or some alternative, may be approved if it is in the organization's best interest and for its own benefit, is fair and reasonable to the organization, and is the most advantageous transaction or arrangement the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts under the circumstances. If an employee, officer, director, or member of a committee with board-delegated powers violates this policy, disciplinary action may be taken including termination of the transaction or arrangement generating the conflict, formal reprimand, suspension or termination of employment, and/or removal from the board as appropriate.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The compensation of executive director and top management officials is determined based on compensation studies and using comparative data from other organizations. The final compensation is approved by the board of directors. Compensation for other employees is approved by the president of the organization.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its 990 available to the public upon request.”
