“The organization has one class of membership.”
“The members elect the directors of the organization.”

“All officers, directors, and key employees (covered persons) are subject to the policy. The organization requires each director, officer, and key employee annually to (1) review the corporation's conflict of interest policy; (2) disclose any possible personal, familial, or business relationship that reasonably could give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest; and (3) acknowledge that he or she is acting in accordance with the letter and spirit of the policy. When a covered person becomes aware of a possible conflict of interest, he or she has a duty to immediately disclose the existence and material facts concerning the potential conflict to the board. The covered person refrains from using his or her personal influence to affect the corporation's decision to enter into the transaction or make any attempt to influence the deliberations or voting on the transaction; and physically excuses himself or herself from participation in any discussions, deliberations, voting, or decisions regarding the transaction with directors, officers and employees of the corporation, except to respond to requests for information about the transaction. The board, or an authorized board committee, contemporaneously documents the basis for its determination in the minutes of the meeting(s) at which the potential conflict of interest is considered.”
“Compensation for the organization's president & coo and key employees was 1) reviewed and approved by independent board members, 2) comparability data was presented to independent board members, and 3) contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision occurred amongst the independent board members. The last compensation review took place december 2023.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
