“The executive committee consists of at least four members of the board of directors and has the authority of the board in the management of the business and affairs of the organization, provided that the executive committee does not have authority in reference to (a) amending, altering or repealing the bylaws; (b) electing, appointing, or removing committee members, directors, or officers; (c) amending the articles of incorporation; (d) adopting a plan of merger or consolidation; (e) authorizing the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the organization's property and assets; (f) authorizing the organization's dissolution; or (g) amending, altering or repealing a board resolution that by its terms cannot be amended, altered or repealed by a committee.”

“The form 990 was reviewed by the cfo and the ceo, then provided to the board of directors for review prior to filing.”

“Inspire requires the board members to annually certify the existence of outside business interests, including those of immediate family members, as well as any other relationship that could give rise to a possible conflict of interest. Periodic checks are conducted by the human resources department. When it is unclear whether a conflict exists, the board of directors and the director of human resources make the determination. If an individual fails to disclose a conflict, the board determines appropriate disciplinary action. When candidates are interviewed by the board, they are given the opportunity to disclose any material conflicts of interest that may exist or situations that may be perceived as conflicts prior to being considered for membership. Once elected, the member receives an orientation and the opportunity to disclose conflicts of interest once again. Any disclosed conflicts of interest will be made known to the membership and recorded in writing and maintained by the executive aide. Should any business of the board involve any disclosed conflicts of interest, the member with the conflict of interest will recuse themselves from participating in any discussion or decision making process for that said matter. If at any time there is a newly developed conflict of interest, members are asked to make it known as soon as possible. Members will be asked to complete the disclosure of conflict of interest document at least once during each three year membership term.”

“Inspire hired an independent contractor to conduct a wage comparability study for all employees, including the ceo. The study was approved by the board of directors prior to implementation. The board reviewed and approved the compensation of the ceo. The ceo reviewed and approved the compensation of the other employees. The most recent study and review was conducted in 2023.”

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

“The organization's process for selecting an independent auditor and for overseeing the financial statement audit did not change during the year.”
