“The president reviews the form 990 prior to signing the form for filing. The organization's financial officer also looks over the form 990 prior to submitting it to the president for signing. A copy of the form 990 is made available for review at any time to the one other board member at his request.”

“The organization has no formal or written conflict of interest policy. However, an informal conflict of interest policy is orally promulgated to board members, the financial officer and supervised "event production/management" independent contractors. The organization's small size permits its president to be aware of any interests that could and do give rise to conflicts of interest. Any persons with a conflict would be prohibited from participating in decision-making and implemention regarding the particular transaction in question.”

“The organization's articles of incorporation and bylaws are available for public inspection upon request.”
