“A nomination committee made up of three directors creates a slate of officers and new board members, which is approved by the executive committee, and then the full board of directors. Decisions of committees are approved by the full board of directors. The executive committee is empowered to act for the full board of directors when decisions arise between monthly director meetings. Any action taken by the executive committee between regularly scheduled meetings of the board of directors is ratified by the board of directors at the following meeting.”

“The process for board of directors' review of the form 990 is to distribute, via email, copies of the form 990, upon completion, to members of the finance committee. Questions and comments raised by board members by email, telephone or in writing are to be addressed prior to filing the information return.”

“The organization's board of directors adopted a "conflict of interest policy" written and established by the board, to enact policies and procedures to ensure that all contracts, transactions and dealings are in the best interest of the organization, and not for the purpose of benefiting any individual members of the board of directors. At least once per year, every director is compelled to sign a "conflict of interest disclosure statement" on which he or she acknowledges his or her understanding of a director's duty to disclose known actual or potential conflicts of interest, and the nature and extent of any known transactions in which the director may have an interest.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements may be made available to the public upon request, as well as the form 990. Requests may be described as in person, in writing, or by email.”
