Once complete, the executive director will submit the form 990 to givingmatters.com (of the community foundation of middle tennessee) for public review.”

“Officers, directors, trustees and key employees discuss potential conflicts of interest whenever relevant during employee interviews, and board and executive committee meetings. The organization reviews its conflict of interest policy at the beginning of each calendar year so that new board members are educated and renewing members are reminded of the policy. The conflict of interest policy is included in the board member handbook, distributed to each board member. In this way, the board chair and executive committee will monitor and enforce compliance with the policy.”
