Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and is reviewed by the Director of Finance and CFO for accuracy. The return is then provided to the board of directors for their review prior to being filed with the IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

The organization requires the board of directors and officers to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. The board as a whole is responsible for oversight of the policy and monitoring for any potential conflicts. 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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

The compensation committee of the board of directors determines appropriate compensation for the organization's Executive Director, top executives, and other key employees. In determining compensation packages, comparability data provided by the HR manager is referenced. The compensation committee reviews the comparability data and proposes a compensation package to the board as a whole for revision and approval. Compensation decisions are documented in the board minutes and are reviewed on an annual basis for appropriateness.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. The organization's financial statements and IRS determination letter are also available on the organization's website.
