Governance Explanations

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

The prepared form 990 is reviewed and approved by the members of the governing body before the return is filed with the irs.

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

Whenever an interested person becomes aware of a potential conflict, whether financial or otherwise, s/he shall make the situation known to the president (or to the secretary if the president is reporting a potential conflict) and provide all facts material to the nature and scope of the potential conflict, including whether the interested person believes the potential conflict could impair, or appear to compromise, his/her ability to make an independent decision based solely on the best interest of the corporation. If the interested person involved does not make this disclosure, another interested person with knowledge of the potential conflict may report the potential conflict to the president (or the secretary when the president is the subject of the potential conflict). The board or an applicable committee designated by the board shall determine whether a potential conflict gives rise to an actual conflict. After presenting information regarding the potential conflict, the involved interested person(s) must retire from the meeting and not participate in the board's or committee's final discussion and voting on the existence of an actual conflict, except that the interested person(s) may be invited back to provide any relevant information that could be of use to the board in making its decision. An interested person shall never be present for the board's vote on whether a potential conflict gives rise to an actual conflict.

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 does not makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public.
