“The form 990 was prepared by outside accountants and reviewed by legal counsel. It was then distributed to the board of directors prior to filing.”

“The conflict of interest policy covers directors, officers, key employees, committee members, spouses or domestic partners of any of the listed people, and former officers, directors or key employees who served in such capacity within the five previous years. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, a covered person must immediately disclose to the board, committee or board designee the existence and nature of his or her financial interest or any disclosable relationships. All newly appointed or elected board members or officers shall disclose all known conflicts of interest and disclosable relationships upon assumption of their duties and, should a conflict of interest or disclosable relationship develop, must immediately disclose to the board, committee or board designee such actual or possible conflict of interest or disclosable relationship. After a potential conflict has been disclosed, the board or committee determines if a conflict of interest exists. If the board or committee determines that a covered person has a financial interest, then it will be investigated and determined by a majority vote of the disinterested board members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interests.”

“Certain independent directors surveyed the marketplace and gathered market data on the compensation of the acting director (the ceo/executive director) and other top management positions. The acting director position and other top management positions were matched with other similar positions in organizations managing comparably sized grant funds, structures, and scope. For the acting director positions and other top management positions, both base pay and total compensation pay were compared. Total compensation includes base pay and bonus pay. Board members monitor the performance of the acting director and other top management positions. The last compensation review took place in december 2021.”

“The association's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available to the public upon request when required by federal and state law.”
