Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

Per the bylaws, it is the reponsibility of each member of the board of directors to review the corporation's tax return prior to its filing with the internal revenue service

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Per the conflict of interest policy, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest.

If it is found that a member did not diclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, the board will take appopriate disciplinary or corrective action.
