San Francisco Special Events Committee

“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body. The organization's small size does not warrant the use of committees.”

“The "board chair" reviews the form 990 prior to her signing the form for filing. The organization's financial officer also looks over the form 990 prior to submitting it to the "board chair" for signing. A copy of the form 990 is made available for review at any time to the other board members at their 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 "board chair" 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 implementation regarding the particular transaction in question.”

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