“The founding director/board secretary and the artistic director are married.”
“The 990 is initially reviewed by the executive director to confirm there are no mistakes or errors. The 990 is then reviewed by aquila's board of directors finance committee prior to being signed and filed with the irs.”
“All major transactions must be approved by the board which gives the opportunity for a conflict of interest to be revealed.”
“Employee performance evaluations are performed to provide feedback to employees. When appropriate, the evaluations may be used in determining compensation, promotion and disciplinary action. Job performance is evaluated through the year both in discussions with supervisors and through an annual written evaluation. Each year the board of directors reviews and approves salary increases, based on the availability of funding. Recommendations for salary increases for employees are based on the results of their performance review.”
“The organization makes these documents available upon request.”
