Columbia Museum of Art

“The organization does have members who may elect one or more members of the governing body. The board has a nominating committee and any board member can recommend any particular individual to be nominated for the selection process. However, the five commissioners must be approved by the City of Columbia to serve five year terms.”

“A draft copy of the return was provided to the board for review via e-mail. Any questions or concerns regarding the 990 were brought to the attention and addressed by the accountants preparing the 990.”

“By-laws are reviewed on a regular basis with the officers, directors, and trustees. The president and the chair of the commission regularly discuss conflict of interest with all board members to ensure that everyone is in compliance.”

“The executive committee of the board looks at market averages for people in comparable positions, data provided by the independent auditor as well as the Executive Director's performance against budget and goals.”

“The Columbia Museum of Art makes its governing documents and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
