“The organization has one class of members. All members have the same voring rights.”

“Members elect the board of directors.”

“Members approve changes to the governing documents, such as the bylaws.”

“Staff review and reconcile the return against financial statements before approval of the final draft by the executive director. This draft is then reviewed with key members of the board including the organization's treasurer prior to finalizing the return. Before filing the return, a copy is distributed to all board members.”

“Sfbc has a conflict of interest policy for all staff and board members. Staff and board members review this policy and sign a new non-disclosure agreement annually. The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect sfbc's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of sfbc or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. If an employee or board member is in a position to influence a purchase, contract or lease, it is imperative that he or she disclose the conflict of interest to an sfbc officer, and safeguards will be established. An employee will not offer business services similar to services offered by sfbc nor will he or she use sfbc's name for personal benefits outside of the scope of employment duties. If management has reason to believe that a violation of this policy has occured, management will afford the staff or board member to an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If necessary, management will take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“The board of directors discusses compensation on an annual basis for the executive director and all other officers or key employees. Any changes in compensation are researched, discussed and approved by the board of directors.”

“Upon request, the organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial information available to the organization's members.”

“Neighborhoods into more livable and safe places by promoting the bicycle for everyday transportation.”

“In 2022, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition focused on its core goal of increasing the number of people bicycling. A key part of this effort is to expand and improve the city's bicycling network. This year we advanced our vision for a complete, cross-town bike network system that is safe and welcoming for people of all ages. We began to do more in-person work with volunteers, members and community groups to get the government to translate this vision into on-the-ground projects and funding for projects to be constructed because of COVID-19 and shelter in place orders. Staff continued to advocate for the Slow Streets Program in San Francisco. Slow Streets allowed for reduction in car traffic and made city streets into public open space for residents to use for outside recreation time while being masked and socially distanced”

“The board of directors is responsible for oversight of the annual audit and for selection of the independent accountant. The process has not changed from the prior year.”
