“The organization has two classes of members: class a members and class b members. Each class a member has 2 votes while each class b member has 1 vote. The members elect the board of directors at their annual meeting which shall be held on the third thursday in the month of may each year. Each member shall hold office indefinitely until such member dies, ceases to exist, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified. Honorary members may be elected by a vote of two-thirds of the directors then in office. Any person who has contributed in a significant way to the corporation or to the purposes for which the corporation has been formed is eligible to become an honorary member of the corporation. Except as the board of directors shall otherwise designate, such honorary members shall have no right to notice of or to vote at any meeting, shall not be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum, and shall have no other rights or responsibilities. An honorary member shall, however, be permitted to hold any office of the corporation. Each honorary member shall hold office at the pleasure of the board of directors, or until such honorary member sooner dies, ceases to exist, resigns, is removed, is dissolved or becomes disqualified.”

“Interested persons consisting of each director, principal officer and key employee shall annually sign a statement which affirms that such person has read and agrees to comply with the organization's conflict of interest policy. After disclosure of a financial interest, the interested person, if a compensated principal officer or key employee, shall abide by the determination of the president as to whether a conflict of interest exists, and such determination and the facts relating thereto shall be reported by the president at the next meeting of the board. After disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person, if a director, an uncompensated principal officer or the president, may make a presentation to the board, but after the presentation, he or she shall leave the portion of the board meeting during the discussion and vote on his or her possible conflict of interest. The remaining board members shall determine if a conflict of interest exists. In the case of an interested person holding both compensated and volunteer positions within the organization, both the president and the board must approve the disclosed financial interest. If a conflict of interest is found to exist by the board, the board shall determine whether the organization can reasonably obtain a more advantageous transaction or agreement from a person that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. A committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or agreement and to make recommendations to the board may be appointed. The minutes of the board shall contain the names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest or who recused themselves, the board's decision as to whether a conflict of interest was found and any conflict matters reported to the board by the president. The board minutes shall also contain the names of the persons who were present for board discussions and votes relating to the transaction or agreement as to which the board found there was a conflict of interest. Similar records shall be kept by the president with respect to conflicts of interest under his or her responsibility.”

The president follows a similar process for the approval of compensation for the organization's highest compensated employees (employees paid over $100,000 of compensation).”
