“Form 990 is presented to the Executive Director and Board of Directors with an opportunity to comment before the Form 990 is filed.”

“In the event that such director has a conflict of interest which might in any way limit such director's fair and impartial participation in board deliberations or decisions, such director shall inform the board as to the circumstances of such conflict. No director shall cast a vote, nor take part in the final deliberation in any matter in which he or she, any member of his or her immediate family, or any organization to which such director has allegiance or a personal interest that may be seen as competing with or limiting the interests of the corporation. Any director who believes he or she may have such a conflict of interest shall so notify the board prior to deliberation, on the matter in question, and the board shall make the final determination as to whether any such director has a conflict of interest in such matter. The minutes of the board meeting shall generally reflect the disclosure of any conflict of interest and recusal of the interested director.”

“Compensation for the executive director is determined by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. Compensation and benefit information was directly gathered from similarly-sized peer organizations, in the same geographic location. The information is reviewed by the executive committee and a compensation package is developed and approved by the Board of Directors.”

“The organization makes it governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request addressed to the organization's executive director.”
