| Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflict of Interest Policy | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12: The Museum has a Conflict of Interest Policy that covers Trustees and the principal officers of the Museum and each member of a committee with Board-delegated powers. The policy provides for a systematic and ongoing method of requiring individuals who have decision making responsibility to disclose and address potential and actual conflicts of interest. Covered individuals are required to complete an annual statement disclosing any conflicts of interest and have a duty to update the disclosure for any potential conflicts of interest that arise during the year. Each Trustee and principal officer of the Museum and each member of a committee with Board-delegated powers annually completes and signs the Conflict of Interest Statement and Disclosure Form. To ensure the Museum operates in a manner consistent with its charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews are conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following: (a) Review of compensation arrangements and benefits, or acquisition or de-acquisition of Museum property with disqualified persons and interested directors, if any to ensure that the transactions are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining. (b) Review of partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations, if any, to ensure that the arrangements conform to the Museum's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurnment, impermissible private benefit, in an excess benefit transaction, or in a self-dealing transaction. When conducting the periodic reviews as above provided, the Museum may, as necessary, use outside experts. If outside experts are used, their use does not relieve the Board of its responsibility for ensuring that periodic reviews are conducted. |
