“Ndedic is a member-driven organization.”

“Active board members may annually elect one or more of the governing body. Only members can participate on committees.”

“Board committees may influence member programs and services, as well as the future direction of the organization.”

“The treasurer of the organization distributes a pdf copy of the form 990 to all board members for review and comment prior to the return being filed.”

“At each board and committee meeting, if there is a discussion of selecting or engaging a vendor or service provider, all in attendance are asked to recuse themselves from this discussion if there could be a perceived conflict. Annually, the organization reviews and discusses the conflict of interest policy and requests that each board member list and acknowledge any known conflicts.”

“The board may hire and compensate individuals for necessary services rendered to the organization so long as such compensation is reasonable. The board shall determine reasonable compensation amounts based upon compensation paid by similarly situated nonprofits for like services. The board may rely upon salary studies, as well as data regarding compensation paid by peer organizations of similar size to determine reasonable compensation. The terms of such compensation and information relied upon shall be recorded in writing. An individual who is a member of the board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly from the organization for services, is precluded from participating in discussions or votes pertaining to their own compensation. Currently, all officers and directors are volunteers.”

“The organization will provide in a timely manner, financial statements, and governing documents including its conflict of interest policies when requested in writing or in person.”
