“The board delegates authority to an executive committee to act on its behalf with broad authority. All committee members are board members and include the chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, treasurer, planning committee chairperson, evaluation committee chairperson, program committee chairperson, outreach committee chairperson, and advisory committee chairperson. The committee exercises all authority of the board when it is not feasible to convene the board except as limited by ncgs 55a-8-25, has the authority to hire and dismiss the executive director, and serves as the finance committee and the audit committee.”

“Prior to filing, the form 990 and all supporting schedules were made available to the board of directors for review.”

“Each member of the board and staff is required to review a copy of the conflict of interest policy and to acknowledge having done so in writing. Each member of the board shall annually complete a disclosure form that shall be submitted and reviewed by the executive director. The form identifies the businesses and nonprofit organizations of which the board member, the board member's spouse (if any) the board member's sibling(s)(or spouses) or any child of the board member (or spouse) is a director, officer, employee or partner. A written accounting of all potential conflicts of interest by board members with respect to ccpfc contracts and transactions is available upon request. In addition to the steps outlined above, the policy is reviewed at each board and committee meeting. A conflict of interest reminder is printed on each agenda, "identification of board members with conflicts" is included as an agenda item, and the board/committee chairman asks members to identify themselves prior to each vote. The ccpfc conflict of interest policy was revised and adopted by the board of directors on january 20, 2010. The policy describes the review of policy and annual disclosure.”

“The executive committee serves as the personnel committee. The committee uses the smart start executive director salary schedule implementation guidelines established by the nc partnership for children to determine adjustments to the executive director's compensation. The executive director reviews the performance of all other employees on an annual basis and makes recommendations to the executive committee regarding adjustments to compensation. The executive director reviews similar positions and compensation from local partnerships in surrounding counties and similar positions at other organizations within caswell county.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available to the public upon request and are maintained in a public notebook.”

“The method of accounting used to prepare form 990 is modified-cash basis of accounting.”
