| FORM 990, PART VI, QUESTION 12C | The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect the organization's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the organization or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, 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 with governing board delegated powers 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/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board of committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. Compliance with this policy is monitored through internal payment policies and annual representations. The reviews, at a minimum, include the following subjects: a. Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining. b. Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the organization's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payment for goods and services, further educational purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction. A voting member of the governing board who has a compensation conflict is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member's compensation. If there are violations to the policy, the committee or governing board shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, QUESTION 19 | ALL GOVERNING DOCUMENTS WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED OUTSIDE OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ALSO WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED OUTSIDE OF THE ORGANIZATION. |
