Governance Explanations

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

“The Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) reviews and approves the Form 990, and forwards a copy to the board chair to distribute to the full board. The board chair distributes it to the full board, and informs the executive director that the Form 990 has been reviewed and approved by the FAC and distributed to the board. The executive director signs the Form 990 and files it with the IRS. The executive director and managing director also review the 990 before it is filed.”

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

“Employees, board members, interns, volunteers, and contractors are required by policy to promptly disclose any conflict of interest to a supervisor or fellow board members. Board members are explicitly asked once a year if a conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest is determined to exist at any level, the interested parties are prohibited from making decisions regarding the relationship.”

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

“Annually, a sub-committee of the board reviews the executive director's self-evaluation, meets with the ED to discuss it and solicits feedback from and meets with senior staff to judge their perspective of the ED's effectiveness. The sub-committee then creates a report and makes a recommendation to the full board on whether and how much to increase the ED's salary and/or authorize a bonus, based on the members' evaluation of the quality of the ED's performance.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19
