THE ORGANIZATION HAS IDENTIFIED THE AUDIT/FINANCE COMMITTEE AS THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY AND COMPLETION OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. AT LEAST FIVE OR TEN BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE FILING OF THE REQUIRED TAX FORMS WITH THE IRS AND NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF LAW CHARITIES BUREAU, A DRAFT OF THE COMPLETED FORMS FOR THE ORGANIZATION WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE AUDIT/FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS FOR THEIR REVIEW.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS TO BE USED FOR DISCLOSURE PURPOSES AND MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO INITIAL APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. AFTER DISCLOSURE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS, AND AFTER ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON, HE/SHE SHALL 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 SHALL DECIDE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS ANNUALLY TO REVIEW THE PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
