Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

No other committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body during 2017.

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

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 board chair.

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

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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

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.
