Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 was reviewed by the cfo, legal counsel, and approved by the president of the organization. The return was forwarded to the board of directors before filing with the irs.”

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

“All employees and board members are required to disclose any interests that could give rise to conflicts on an annual basis. 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 commitiee, 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 the executive director and top management official was based on compensation studies using comparative data from other organizations. The final compensation was reviewed and approved by the board of directors. Compensation for other employees was approved by the president of the organization. All compensation processes are deliberated and documented. The last compensation review took place in december 2016.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its articles of incorporation and form 990 available upon request.”
