“The board of directors reviews and approves the form 990 prior to its filing. The form 990 was authorized and signed by the organization's president.”

“The board of directors requires an annual declaration from all board members and senior management as to the existence and disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. The board members sign a disclosure statement. Any potential conflicts are discussed by the dis-interested board members, while the party in potential conflict is required to leave the room. Board meeting minutes will document the discussion and decision making process. In the event of a potential conflict, procedures to obtain competitive bids and diligence on fair market value will be established.”

“When bfp was first established and was operating with very limited funding and later under the fiscal sponsorship of open space institute, initial salaries were determined largely by the limited financial resources available (and were less than market averages). There is now a process for hiring new staff that consists of the leadership team (director-level staff) defining and approving a job description and salary range-with board input on postings for director-level staff-soliciting potential candidates via advertisement and networking, and candidate interviews. Please note that when changes to the executive director's salary are discussed, the board conducts these discussions during an executive session at which the executive director is not present.”
