“The board reviews and discuss the 990 at its first meeting after the return is filed with the service center.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

“The matter of conflicts of interest is brought up at board meetings and any potential conflicts are discussed at that time and resolved according to policy directives. In addition, individuals hired as contractors are required to sign a formal engagement agreement which includes the obligation to disclose or avoid conflict of interest situations.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

“All employee and management compensation matters are discussed at scheduled board meetings. The administrative director signs a formal engagement agreement to perform management and administrative duties and compensation is set as part of the agreement which is updated every 5 years. Employee compensation is established by the board and the administrator. Pay raises are based on cost of living and merit considerations approved by board action.”
