Governance Explanations

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

“The organization has no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing board.”

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

“Form 990 is provided to the governing body for review before the return is signed by the president and filed with the internal revenue service.”

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

“A director, officer or staff member must disclose, in good faith, any potential conflict of interest. The board of directors or committee thereof, if formed, will gather and review the necessary information to take any potential conflict into consideration and render a decision by vote.”

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

“Trace media follows a compensation policy which requires any compensation arrangement to be approved by the full board of directors or a committee of the board. The approved compensation arrangement must be based upon, to the extent reasonably available, information about compensation paid by similarly situated taxable or tax-exempt organizations for similar services, current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms and actual written offers from similarly situated organizations, and other relevant information. This evaluation last took place in 2019.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Requests for reviewing the organization's documents should be addressed to the organization in care of the individual noted in part vi, section c, question 20.”
