This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable Corporations.</p> <p><strong>Section 8.02 Definitions:</strong></p> <p>Interested Person: Any Director, principal officer, or member of a committee with Board delegated powers who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person.</p> <p>Financial Interest: A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family:</p> <p>(a) An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Corporation has a transaction or arrangement;</p> <p>(b) A compensation arrangement with the Corporation or with any entity or individual with which the Corporation has a transaction or arrangement; or</p> <p>(c) Is considering an ownership or investment interest in or compensation arrangement with any entity or individual with which the Corporation is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.</p> <p>Compensation: Direct and indirect remuneration, including gifts or favors that are not insubstantial.</p> <p>Conflict of Interest: A conflict between the personal or financial interests and the official or professional responsibilities of a person in a position of trust; however, a financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under Section 8.03 (b), a person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the appropriate Board or committee decides that a conflict of interest exists.</p> <p><strong>Section 8.03 Procedures:</strong></p> <p>(a) Duty to Disclose: If an actual or possible conflict of interest arises, 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 considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.</p> <p>(b) Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists: After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts and after any discussion with the interested person, he or 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.</p> <p>(c) Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest:</p> <p>(i) An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he or she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of and the vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest.</p> <p>(ii) The Chair of the Board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement.</p> <p>(iii) After exercising due diligence, the Board or committee shall determine whether the Corporation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.</p> <p>(iv) If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested Directors or committee members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Corporation’s best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.</p> <p>(d) Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy:</p> <p>(i) If the Board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.</p> <p>(ii) If, after hearing the member’s response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the Board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.</p> <p>Section 8.04 Records of Proceedings: The minutes of the Board and all committees with Board delegated powers shall contain:</p> <p>(a) The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the Board’s or committee’s decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed.</p> <p>(b) The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings.</p> <p><strong>Section 8.05 Compensation:</strong></p> <p>(a) A member of the Board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Corporation for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to his/her compensation.</p> <p>(b) A member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Corporation for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to his/her compensation.</p> <p>(c) Any member of the Board or any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Corporation, either individually or collectively, may provide information to any committee regarding compensation.</p> <p><strong>Section 8.06 Annual Statements:</strong> Each Director, principal officer, and member of a committee with Board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person:</p> <p>(a) Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy;</p> <p>(b) Has read and understands the policy;</p> <p>(c) Has agreed to comply with the policy; and</p> <p>(d) Understands the Corporation is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.</p> <p><strong>Section 8.07 Periodic Reviews:</strong> To ensure the Corporation avoids private inurement, impermissible private benefit, and excess benefit transactions, periodic reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects:</p> <p>(a) Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information; and</p> <p>(b) Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management Corporations conform to the Corporation’s written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit, or an excess benefit transaction.</p> <p><strong>Section 8.08 Use of Outside Experts: </strong>When conducting the periodic reviews as provided for in Section 8.07, the Corporation may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the Board of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-article-ix-records"><strong>ARTICLE IX – RECORDS</strong></h4> <p><strong>Section 9.01 Recordkeeping: </strong>The Secretary or his or her designee shall keep or cause to be kept adequate minutes of all Board or committee meetings, and all meetings of committees with Board designated powers reflecting at a minimum the names of those in attendance, any resolutions passed, and the outcomes of any votes taken.</p> <p><strong>Section 9.02 Public Disclosure:</strong> After receiving IRS recognition of its 501(c)(3) status, the Corporation shall keep available for public inspection at its principal place of business and any branch office copies of the Form 1023 (exemption application) as filed and any Form 990 (information tax return) filed within the past three years. Names and identifying information of contributors shall be redacted from publicly available copies. In addition, as required by the tax code and regulations, the Corporation shall either (i) make such materials widely available to the public, such as by posting on the Internet, or (ii) provide copies of the materials to any member of the public making a request in person during normal business hours or in writing. This public disclosure obligation shall be no broader than required by law and shall not apply, for example, if the Corporation is the target of a campaign of harassment.</p> <p><strong>Section 9.03 Public Reports:</strong> On at least a biennial basis, the Corporation will publish and make publicly available an updated account of the Corporation’s purposes, structure, programs, and financial condition.  Audits will be posted annually once accepted by the Board. </p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-article-x-amendment-of-bylaws"><strong>ARTICLE X – AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS</strong></h4> <p><strong>Section 10.01 Amendments: </strong>Except as otherwise provided by law, these Bylaws may be amended or repealed and new bylaws adopted by approval of the Board as outlined in Sections 2.08 and 2.09.</p> </main>  <div class="pre-footer-area" id="pre-footer-newsletter"> <div class="pre-footer-widget"> <div> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1
