“The Administrative Director manages the preparation of the tax return, including communications with the accounting firm. The Administrative Director reviews and comments on the draft return with input, as appropriate, from the Accounting Coordinator and Financial Vice President. The President, President-Elect, and Communications Director then review the draft return. After all comments have been addressed, the tax return is provided to both the Finance Council and Board of Directors, either in hard copy or by email. Finance Council and Board members are provided an opportunity to ask questions and comment on the tax return prior to filing with the IRS.”

“Prior to a Board of Directors, Council, or Sub-Council action or discussion of a proposed action, members of the Board of Directors, Council, or Sub-Council shall disclose any potential interest (personal, financial, or business) of the member or the member's family that would be affected by any action being considered for a vote by the Board of Directors, Council, or Sub-Council. Such disclosure must be of record in the minutes. A member who has a conflict of interest may not participate in the discussion or vote and is required to excuse herself from the discussion of and vote on the action with which she has a conflict of interest. Prior to the meeting, she may contact the moderator of the meeting to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. She may not attempt to exert her personal influence either at or outside the meeting. Each member shall annually complete a disclosure form identifying any relationships, positions, or circumstances in which she or any member of her family is involved that could contribute to a conflict of interest. Such relationships, positions, or circumstances might include service as a trustee, director, or consultant to a nonprofit organization or ownership of a business that might provide goods or services. Any changes during the year must be reported.”
