“The 990 is prepared by independent accountants and reviewed by management. At the first meeting of the Board following the filing of the 990 with the IRS, the complete Form is presented to the Board. Thereafter, questions are taken and the Form, its preparation, and its public relations impact discussed.”

“Annual conflict of interest statements are required to be signed by each Board member. The statements affirm that the policy has been read & either that no conflict of interest exists or discloses any such conflict.”

“The Executive Director proposes staff salaries as part of the budgeting process, and those are approved or amended by the board prior to the approval of the budget. The Board of Directors sets the Executive Director's salary after a performance review and a check of comparable salary information for nonprofit organizations with similar budgets.”

“Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request.”
