“The organization's process is to review form 990 at the next board meeting after completion of form 990. All board members are provided a copy of the 990. The return and supporting schedules are reviewed, discussed and motion is made to accept as a part of the board meeting. If time does not allow for full board review prior to filing the 990, the executive director will review with the cpa preparer prior to signing.”

“A conflict of interest questionnaire is annually sent out to each officer, director and key employee of the organization. The questionnaire requires each person to answer a series of questions related to various potential conflicts of interest that are specifically asked on the form 990. The organization's executive director monitors the responses for any potential conflicts of interest and then detemrines whether or not an actual conflict of interest exists. Anyone who is determined to have a conflict of interest is not allowed to vote on any matters involving the related conflict of interest. The executive deirector attends all board meetings to ensure compliance with these guidelines.”

“Compensation for the executive director is determined by the board committee who obtain and rely on appropriate data as to comparability in making its determination, including payment by similar organizations (not- for-profit and if applicable, for-profit) for functionally comparable positions. This board committee, comprised of the executive director and board officers, without any conflict of interest, documents the basis for makring the compensation decision and makes recommendations for the full board approval. This process was last undertaken in 2015.”
