Sisters Pgh Corp

“In october 2024, the organization amended its bylaws to restructure its executive leadership. The amendments established the role of chief executive officer (ceo) and president to provide strategic oversight, with the executive director reporting to the ceo for day-to-day operations. The bylaws clarified the board of directors' authority to hire, evaluate, and remove both the ceo and executive director. Additionally, the amendments formalized the transition of the founder into the ceo role and affirmed the founder's right to engage in external consulting work, provided it does not conflict with the organization's interests.”

“The board of directors is comprised of members.”

“The members vote on the election of directors and officers to the board of directors.”

“The finance committee performs an in-depth review of the form 990 prior to filing.”

“The organization regularly monitors and enforces its conflict of interest policy. All directors, officers, and key employees are required to sign an annual statement affirming they have received, read, and understood the policy. Individuals must disclose any potential conflicts in writing to the executive director immediately upon awareness. Periodic reviews are conducted every six months to ensure compensation arrangements and partnerships are reasonable, arm's-length, and do not result in impermissible private benefit. Interested persons are required to recuse themselves from discussion and voting on matters involving their conflict.”

“The compensation of the executive director and chief executive officer is reviewed and approved by the board of directors, independent of the interested individual. The process involves using comparability data from similar nonprofit organizations and an independent performance evaluation. The interested person (executive director) recused herself from the vote, and the decision was contemporaneously substantiated in the board minutes.”

“No other documents available to the public.”

“The return is being amended to reflect changes in the financial statements of revenue, expenses, and the balance sheet.”
