“Form 990 was distributed to finance committee and board of directors for review and comment prior to filing.”

“The organization reviews board positions and each board member reviews the conflict of interest policy annually. During the review, each board member's responsibilities and any potential conflicts are identified and addressed. The following are the procedures for addressing a conflict of interest: (a) an interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. (b) the chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. (c) after exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. (d) if a more advantageous transaction or arrangement not producing a conflict of interest is not reasonably possible, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”
