“After the draft form 990 was prepared, it was reviewed by the board of directors and senior management. Then the final form 990 was distributed to all board members for their review and comment before filing.”

“At the board meeting during which a new director is elected, he/she is asked to sign the conflict of interest policy forms prepared by our attorney. At the annual meeting in january, all officers, directors, and key employees update their forms for the following year. Potential conflicts are reviewed and determined by the board or a committee in a meeting that does not include the person under review. If a conflict exists, the board or committee shall decide whether to enter any proposed transaction and, if so, to ensure that the terms of the transaction are reasonable. If a director is involved, the director shall not vote on any transaction in which the director has an interest, and the remaining board or committee members shall decide the matter.”

“The independent board of directors, in executive session, annually reviews the performance of its ceo and approves changes in compensation which are compared against data for similar positions in the nonprofit sector. They then instruct the director of human resources to implement changes. This deliberation is recorded in the minutes of the meeting and filed with its corporate documents.”

“Financial statements, governing documents and the conflict of interest policy are made available upon request during regular business hours and when appropriate staff is available. These documents are available for the same period of time set forth in sec. 6104(d). An annual report is published which includes a summary of the independent audit. This report is widely distributed and is available on our website and upon request to the general public.”
