“The organization makes its form 990 available for review by the full board of directors prior to filing. Board members are expected to review the 990 in detail for accuracy and completeness and raise any questions or concerns prior to filing the return.”

“The organization maintains a written conflict of interest policy that requires board members and officers to disclose annually any financial interests or relationships that could give rise to conflicts. The full board reviews these disclosure statements each year and determines whether any reported matters represent actual or potential conflicts that require mitigation, limitation, or prohibition. Any person with a conflict is prohibited from participating in board/committee discussions or votes related to the matter in conflict. The president and secretary monitors potential conflicts and enforces compliance with the policy by requiring timed divestment, recusal from matters, or other actions as needed. Violations of the conflict of interest policy result in disciplinary action determined by the board up to and including removal. Each director, officer and key employee is required to certify understanding of and compliance with the policy annually.”

“Compensation for the executive director is determined by the board of directors, which is composed entirely of independent, voting board members. The committee reviews comparable compensation data for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. Contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision is recorded.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Any person may request to inspect the organization's form 990 and application for tax-exemption by making the request in writing to the organization's executive director at its registered address. Requested documents are provided within a reasonable timeframe at the organization's principal office during normal business hours.”
