“Form 990 is presented to the finance committee at least one week prior to the finance committee meeting in which it will be discussed. This allows committee members to ask questions and look over the document before presentation to the full board. After discussion in the finance committee meeting, the treasurer and chief executive officer distribute and present the form 990 to the full board and address any questions the board may have in regard to the document. Due to the timing of board meetings, at times a representative of the board approves the return and the full board concurs in the following meeting.”

After disclosure of the potential conflicts of interest, the interested person must leave the board meeting while the determination is discussed and voted on.
