“Form 990 is prepared by an independent cpa and a draft is reviewed by the audit committee or the executive committee of the board. Upon committee approval, a copy is provided to the entire board prior to filing.”

“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers board members and family members of board members. Other close relationships that may present a conflict of interest are looked at on a case-by-case basis. Board members update their statements of business relationships annually and indicate any that could pose a potential conflict of interest. Throughout the year, board members disclose any potential conflicts that may arise. Once a board member has made a disclosure, the remaining board members determine whether there is a conflict of interest. The disclosing board member may provide all material facts but must abstain from voting. The minutes will reflect the disclosure, abstention, discussion, and how the conflict was managed. If the governing board has reasonable cause to believe a board member has failed to make proper disclosure, it will inform the member and provide an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. The board governance committee shall take appropriate corrective action if necessary.”

“Biannually, the executive committee of the board of directors reviews relevant local, state, and national salary information from the department of labor.
