Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 8B

“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

“Once the organization receives the completed 990, the executive director will review the financial portion of the 990. He will then forward the 990 to the board of directors who will review all aspects and approve before mailing.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

“Each board member and employee completes the statement annually and they are read by executive director. Any statement made regarding a conflict is then reviewed and considered individually, and all attempts are made to avoid any possible conflict of interest in the meetings and conducting of business relationships. Members are asked to excuse themselves from any discussions and voting on topics that may cause a conflict of interest.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

“The executive director's salary is reviewed annually by the president of the board of directors and the board members will approve the decision made by the president.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

“The organization will provide copies of its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements to individuals who request them.”
