“The board treasurer reviews the 990 in detail and makes it available to all board members prior to filing.”

“Each director and officer is required to review a copy of the conflict of interest policy, which requires each person to disclose any relationships, position or circumstances in which he or she believes could contribute to a conflict. Following full disclosure of a possible conflict of interest, the Board of Directers determines whether a conflict of interest exists and, if so the Board votes to authorize or reject the transaction or take any other action deemed necessary to address the conflict and protect AALEAD's best interests.”

“The process for determining the Executive Director's compensation involves the completion by the entire board of a detailed evaluation and interviews of key staff and stakeholders. This performance assessment and review of market compensation data from similar organizations is then examined by an Executive Committee of the Board, which proposes a compensation level that must be approved by the entire board. Other employees' compensation is determined by the Executive Director with input and advice from the Board.”

“The Form 990 is available upon request and is posted on the organization's website.”

“AALEAD makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“There were over 350 workshops offered that connected youth with resources to succeed academically and prepare for college/future careers; gave youth the tools to develop pride in themselves and where they are from; and gave youth every opportunity to help develop skills and experiences as leaders. 100% of youth transitioned to the next grade level; 90% of youth said they gained confidence; 94% said they were exposed to other communities and helped to see connections and 93% said they learned more about the Asian American community.”

“AALEAD's Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of the audit, including selection of the independent auditor. The process is consistent with previous years.”
