Per the Bylaws, board members and officers are required to disclose any conflicts of interest. Each director, and principal officer is required to annually sign a conflict of interest statement.

Steve Maxwell and Steve Blackwelder - Business relationship

Form 990, Part VI, Line 8B Documentation of meetings held by committees of governing body

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B Review of form 990 by governing body

Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the organization's top management. The reviewed Form 990 is then provided to the board of directors prior to filing with the IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C Conflict of interest policy

The organization requires all officers and board members to annually complete and sign a conflict of interest questionnaire. The independent controller and CFO, along with the board members, review the signed statements to ensure that interested persons are in compliance with the conflict of interest policy. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.
