| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | Before filing form 990, the Organization's Director of Operations reviews it with the bookkeeper and treasurer. Subsequently, the 990 is presented to the Executive Committee for review. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The Board of Directors and Director of Operations have the duty to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest at the earliest possible instance. New land conservation projects are brought to the Board early in the process to specifically ask if any director has a potential conflict of interest. Any potential conflicts of interest are investigated and discussed as per the direction in the policy, and all discussions are documented in minutes of the the Board and Committee meetings, including any recommendations. Subsequent to the information gathering phase, any director or staff with a potential conflict of interest absents themselves from the discussions and voting on the issue. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a | The organization does not have an executive director. Three director positions share the leadership role of Executive Director. The co-lead Director of Operations and co-lead Director of Partnerships' performance is reviewed by the full Board of Directors. Depending upon the solvency of the Organization and the performance evaluation, an increase in salary would be voted upon by the Board. In October, when the next year's budget is planned, a further evaluation would be made as to the feasability of a raise in salary. For other employees, there is a yearly performance review. Depending upon this and the financial strength of the Organization, salary increases are voted upon by the Board. |
