“The executive committee shall consist of the chairman, vice chairman, secretary, treasurer, and the immediate past chairman. The executive committee is authorized to act on matters between board meetings when needed. Unanimous approval will be required before action is carried out and only when a quorum cannot be made from board meeting attendance. Any such action so taken shall always be reported to the board at its next meeting. The chief executive officer and vp of operations may attend meetings of the executive committee, without voting privileges.”

“All committee meetings report their discussions to the full board of directors during the board meeting following the committee meeting and discussions and decisions by the committee are documented in the board meeting minutes.”

“A copy of the organization's final form 990, including all required schedules except schedule b, was provided to each voting member of the governing body to be reviewed before its filing with the irs. Schedule b was redacted from the copy of the form 990 provided to the governing body to protect the anonymity of the donors.”

“The organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the organization's governing body and the ceo on an annual basis. Each member of the governing body and the ceo provide an annual disclosure statement indicating that they have read and are familiar with the policy and disclose any potential conflicts of interest. Any possible conflict of interest on the part of any person covered under this policy should be disclosed to the governing body and made a matter of record, either through the annual disclosure statement or when the conflict of interest becomes a matter of action by the governing body. Any person covered under this policy having a conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest should not vote or use his/her personal influence on the matter, and he/she should not be counted as part of a quorum for the meeting. The minutes of the meeting should reflect that a disclosure was made, the abstention from voting and the quorum situation. These restrictions should not be construed as preventing the person with the conflict of interest from briefly stating his/her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions of the governing body, since his or her knowledge could be of assistance to the deliberations.”

“It is the policy of the governing body of the organization to evaluate annually the work performance of the ceo. The executive committee meets to review, discuss, and recommend compensation adjustments for approval by the governing body. These deliberations and decisions are contemporaneously substantiated in the minutes of the meeting where compensation adjustments are approved by the governing body. The executive committee utilizes comparability data that is relvant based on location, size, and industry of the organization provided by an outside consultant in its deliberations.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the general public upon request.”

“The organization has not changed its selection process or oversight process during the tax year.”
