| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | Each member is entitled to vote for each vacant Board of Director position that is to be filled by voting members.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The Controller and Director of Finance compare the Federal Form 990 to the audited financial statements. All variances are verified against schedules to determine that they are correct. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | On an annual basis, members of the Board of Directors sign a new conflict of interest statement. Any possible conflicts listed are reviewed by the Vice President of Finance and Administration to determine if they truly reflect a conflict. If so, the statements are discussed with the Audit Committee. If the Committee believes the conflict is real, the Board Member is asked to either resign from the Board or to stop the activity that is creating the conflict. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Periodically, the human resource department receives general market data from an outside compensation consultant to determine if salaries are in line with organizations of similar mission and/or size.

The President's salary is reviewed by the Board of Directors on a periodic basis. This is discussed and documented in the executive session.
