Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

The organization does not have separate committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.

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

Form 990 is prepared by a certified public accounting firm and a draft copy is provided to management of the organization. The organization's board of directors reviews form 990 before it is filed with the irs.

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

The board of directors consistently monitors and reviews the conflict of interest policy to ensure compliance with the policy. The organization's conflict-of-interest policy covers all directors, officers, and key employees. Covered persons must disclose any potential conflicts annually and as they arise. When a potential conflict is identified, it is reviewed by the full board of directors, excluding the interested person. The board determines whether a conflict exists and, if so, how to proceed. Individuals with a conflict may provide factual information but are prohibited from participating in deliberations or voting. All disclosures and recusals are documented in the meeting minutes. If a conflict is discovered after a transaction has occurred, the board reviews it and takes corrective action as needed.

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

The independent members on the board of directors review and approve compensation for the president of the organization using comparable comparison survey data and contemporaneous documentation of which the decision was made for the president's compensation for employment.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18

The organization complies with irc section 6104 and makes its form 1023 and form 990 available for public inspection upon request.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its conflict of interest policy and governing documents available to the public upon request.
