Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4

“The organization made changes to its governing documents including updating the mission to reflect the current focus of the organization and updating the number of Board Members to no more than seven, and no less than five.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“The Board of Directors receives a copy of the tax return and any questions regarding the return are directed to the CPA who prepares the return. All questions are answered prior to filing Form 990.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The conflict of interest policy is provided to all board members annually. The board members are required to complete and sign the form annually. The conflict of interest form asks the board members to list all of their relevant organizational and personal affiliations. The board then discusses whether different situations give rise to the level of creating a conflict of interest which would require recusal of board members from discussions or decisions as per the conflict of interest policy.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The executive director's compensation is reviewed and adjusted by the Board of Directors. Before determining any salary adjustment the board considers experience with the organization, background and other professional experience. The board also utilized salary surveys to obtain the median salaries for education nonprofit executive directors in the area and nationally and reviewed various other nonprofit organization's compensation via various websites available.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest statements and finanical statements are available for public inspection upon request being made to the Organization.”
