Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

The form 990 is reviewed and approved by the board members before filing.

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

Board members must avoid conflicts of interest with respect to their fiduciary responsibility. When a board member fails to recuse themself from a percieved conflict of interest, the member may be excused from the session with a 2/3 vote of the board.

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

Lbw uses data derived from the annual publication of the lutheran church missouri synod pacific south west district to determine appropriate compensation. This publication is a compilation of compensation statistics for church workers employed in the district and related non-profits. The compensation amount is then reviewed and approved by the board of directors.
