Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The prepared form 990 is reviewed by the organization's governing body before the return is filed with the irs.”

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

“All officers and directors are required to sign a conflict of interest policy statement on an annual basis. In connection with any actual or possible reported conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing body delegated powers. After disclosure of the interest and all material facts, the interested person shall leave the governing body or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the remaining directors or committee members. The governing body or designated committee conducts periodic reviews to ensure that the organization does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The independent membership of the board of directors annually conducts a performance review of the executive director. The executive director's compensation is reviewed and compared to public information about compensation in positions at similar organizations. The board approves compensation for the executive director with an official vote with discussion and results recorded in meeting minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
