The Go Green Initiative Association

“All members of the Board of Directors are sent an electronic copy of the form 990 and all related schedules prior to filing. Any recommended changes to the 990 are considered by the CEO and CPA for accuracy and appropriateness prior to filing.”

“The Go Green Initiative President conducts annual reviews with all board members to review their conflict of interest disclosure forms and to underscore the importance of compliance. Board members are required to read the conflict of interest policy at the beginning of each fiscal year and update any changes to their disclosure form.”

“The Go Green Initiative has established a policy for Board approval of compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and any other highly compensated employees and consultants. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will obtain research and information to make a recommendation to the full board for the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other highly compensated employees or consultants based on a review of comparability data. This data may include the following 1 salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources, e.g. Charity Navigator CEO compensation study 2 written job offers for positions at similar organizations 3 documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and for profit organizations and 4 information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations. To approve the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other highly compensated employees and consultants, the Board must document how it reached its decisions, including the data on which it relied, in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. The Board of Directors, who are volunteers and not compensated by The Go Green Initiative, will operate independently without undue influence from the Chief Executive Officer. No member of the Compensation Committee will be a staff member, the relative of a staff member, or have any relationship with staff that could present a conflict of interest.”
