“A copy of form 990 is provided to and reviewed by management and the board of directors before it is filed.”

“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers interested persons which include any director, committee member or employee of the national orange show who has direct or indirect financial interest in the organization. The organization monitors the conflict of interest policy by requiring any interested persons to disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and they must be given the opportunity to disclose all the material facts. The following are the procedures of how national orange show addresses conflicts of interest policy that may arise within the organization: 1. An interested person may make a presentation at the management/board meeting, but after such presentation he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict on interest. 2. The chairperson of the board shall, if appropiate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction. In the case of a national orange show employee, the ceo/managener shall appoint a disinterested person to investigate. 3. After exercising due diligence, the board or ceo shall determine whether the national orange show can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. 4. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or ceo shall determine whether the transaction or arrangement is in the national orange show's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to enter into with such determination.”

“The general manager's compensation is determined based on a complete review of his/her tenure at national orange show by an executive committee. The executive committee makes its recommendations based on past job performance. After the executive committee has made a final recommendation, they forward it to the board of directors for discussion. The board of directors then take a vote to determine if the salary recommended is reasonable. The person whose compensation is being voted on is precluded from voting on matters relating to his/her compensation.”
