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 reviews the form 990, signs it, and files it with the irs.”

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 executive director to discuss it and solicits feedback from and meets with senior staff to judge their perspective of the executive director'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 executive director's salary and/or authorize a bonus, based on the members' evaluation of the quality of the executive director's performance.”
