Gfwc of North Carolina Inc

“The majority of day-to-day organization business is governed by the executive committee. The entire board of directors, approximately 250 members, meets annually for elections, bylaws and resolutions changes and certain other business which is subject to a vote.”

“The organization's form 990 is reviewed by the board of trustees along with the executive director prior to its filing.”

“An ethics policy which addresses conflict of interest and confidentiality issues is given to each gfwc-nc officer and trustee to sign off on upon their election. These are kept in the office with the financial policies and made available to any member upon request. In addition, each officer and trustee signs bi-annual statements stating that they have read, understand and agree to comply with the policy. To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes, periodic reviews are conducted which ensure that compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable and business deals are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit, or an excess benefit transaction.”

“The personnel committee annually evaluates the executive director's salary and makes recommendations based on performance and a review of comparability data including compensation for positions at similar organizations across the state. The personnel committee is comprised of members of the executive committee, board of trustees and finance committee. The executive director reviews salaries of all other personnel on an annual basis and submits proposed adjustements to the personnel committee for approval.”

“All gfwc governing documents, charter, articles of incorporation, signed ethics policies, financial policies, audit reports and monthly financial statements are kept at headquarters office, but are made available to the public. Our bylaws, policies and procedures, and budget are published in our administration book.”

“The gfwc of north carolina is a menber of the general federation of women's clubs and its purpose is to unite member clubs into a statewide charitable organization of volunteers for the promotion of education, community service, fellowship, and leadership development.”

“The process has not changed from prior year.”
