“Membership is limited to producers from boulder county and grandfathered weld, larimer, delta and mesa counties as of december 4, 1999. Applicants from outside boulder county may be admitted at bcfm's board of directors' discretion. Fruit growers from other counties are invited to apply. Members are allowed to sell their produce at the farmers' market. Classes of membership consist of full time, part time and youth memberships. Full time: a full-time member must meet the minimum bcfm attendance regulations and must have paid all necessary dues and fees for full time membership. Benefits of full-time membership include the privilege of voting at general membership meetings and consideration for permanent selling space assignment. Part time: part time members may participate in the bcfm as specified in the "rules and regulations". They are eligible to vote at general membership meetings but are not entitled to an assigned selling space. Youth: youth members (15 years or younger) are not required to attend a minimum number of markets and are not eligible to vote at general membership meetings or be assigned a permanent selling space.”

“The 990 is electronically mailed to the board of directors for their review and approval before filing with the irs.”

“The conflict-of-interest policy covers all board members, officers, staff and consultants of bcfm. Conflicts of interest are required to be disclosed to the board of directors. The board of directors reviews and makes determinations of action on any potential conflicts as they arise. In the event a conflict of interest is determined, the interested person with the conflict will remove themselves from the deliberation and refrain from voting on the matter.”

“The finance committee conducts research and consults a third party in order to develop comparable data.
