“The President, Robert Augsburg, and the Board Secretary, Felice Augsburg have a family relationship.”
“Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the organization's top management. The reviewed Form 990 is then provided to the board of directors prior to filing with the IRS.”
“Board members and officers are required to disclose potential conflicts on an annual basis. The finance team monitors all transactions. If a potential conflict of interest is identified, the transaction is brought to the President and/or the Board for approval. The person with a conflict excuses himself from the decision making process and the Board votes on whether or not the transaction is in the best interest of the organization. All decisions and deliberations are documented in the board minutes.”
“The board determines and approves the president's salary using 990s from similar organizations and compensation studies. The President then determines the compensation of the other officers using the same comparability data. The process and decision are documented in the board minutes.”
“These documents are available upon request.”
