Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Enforcement of Conflicts Policy- The organization monitors and enforces compliance with the written conflict of interest policy at each annual meeting. The directors and key employees sign statements declaring that they do or do not have conflicts of interest.”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“Organizations Process to Review Form 990: Once the Tax Return has been prepared by the third party tax preparer, the internal accountant reviews and submits the return to the board members. The board members review the return and will subsequently contact the internal accountant with any questions, comments, and/or concerns. The internal accountant forwards the modifications (if any) to the tax preparer. If changes are made, then the whole process starts over. If there are no material changes then the 990 is signed and submitted by the designated individual”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“Compensation Process for Top Official The Executive Directors compensation, along with that of the other key employees is evaluated on an annual basis by the board of directors. The board uses salary comparisons for similar positions from various sources and then attempts to put each key position in aobut the 50th percentile based on the salary comparison data.”

Pt VI, Line 15B

“Compensation Process- see above”

Financial Statement Notes
