Repertory Dance Theatre

“The organization's treasurer reviews the form 990, presents it to the finance committee, and then discusses it with the entire board of directors before the 990 is filed.”

“The board reviews each member's annual conflict of interest questionnaire and any other disclosures regarding the financial interest of its members. After disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person shall leave the board meeting while the remaining board members discuss and vote on whether a conflict of interest exists. After excercising due diligence, the governing board shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable effort a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not produce a conflict of interest. The interested person shall not be present in the room during the determination. If an alternative transaction or arrangement is not possible, the governing board shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interests of the organization, for its own benefit, and fair and reasonable. Based on these determinations, the board shall make its decision on whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. If the commitee has reason to believe an individual has failed to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, it will inform the member and allow him or her to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If the committee still has reason to believe a conflict of interest exists after the alleged conflict is explained, it will take corrective action.”

“Compensation for the executive director is determined by independent persons(the board of directors, excluding the executive director). Factors considered in determining compensation include cost of living data, market comparison information, duration of employment, and job performance. The exeucutive board reviews this information and votes on compensation as part of the overall proposed budget each year. The vote is recorded in the minutes and approved budget.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available for inspection by the public upon written request to the organization's offices.”

“Repertory dance theatre is dedicated to the creation, performance, perpetuation, and appreciation of modern dance. The organization's programs are designed to nuture artists, inspire artistic collaboration, impact community, and engage audiences to make meaningful connections about life, art, and humanity.”
