“The executive committee meets as needed between board of directors meetings and has the authority to exercise many of the powers and duties of the board of directors, except the election of directors to fill vacancies on the board of directors, the removal of directors from the board, the appointment or removal of the president, and the amendment of the bylaws. Unless otherwise specified by an act of the board of directors, the executive committee is the only committee authorized to take action that would otherwise require a vote of the board of directors.”

“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and was reviewed by senior management. The audit and finance committees reviewed the form 990 prior to filing. The board was invited to review the form 990 before filing and a copy was provided electronically to all board members before the form 990 was filed.”

“The organization annually sends out a conflicts of interest policy to its board members, officers and key employees and requests a signed disclosure form from each covered individual. Any disclosed conflict is reviewed by the general counsel. If a conflict does exist on a specific issue, meeting minutes reflect the board action to clear the conflict, either by having the affected board member, officer or key employee recuse themselves from the discussion or vote or remove themselves from all deliberations. This policy also applies to employees. All director-level staff certify annually they have reviewed the policy and have no potential conflicts to report. If a conflict is reported, it is reviewed by general counsel who resolves the conflict.”

“Within the fiscal year, the president's compensation was reviewed by a committee of independent directors and an external compensation consultant. The results were presented to the full board for review and approval. Minutes are kept of such meetings. Compensation for senior level staff is analyzed periodically by an independent consultant in conjunction with management.”
