“There are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the board.”
“The 990 is filled out and reviewed by key officers, but the full board does not review.”
“The organization disseminates key governance and conflict-of-interest policies to board members and requires disclosure of any potential issues as they arise. In 2024, all key decisions and contractual commitments were reviewed and signed by the Board Treasurer or Board President, providing oversight and documentation. Matters requiring further review were elevated to the full board and recorded in the minutes.”
