Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

The 990 is prepared by an external cpa firm and reviewed by management. It is circulated to the full board prior to filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

If an actual or possible conflict of interest arises, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts and after any discussion with the interested person, he or she will leave the board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members will decide if a conflict of interest exists. If the board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a director or officer has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it will inform the person of the basis for such belief and afford them an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the director or officer's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board or committee determines the person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it will take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Upon request, ppef makes available the documents required to be made publicly available by section 6104.

FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A, TREASURER:
