The Rainey Center began in 2018. As a new and small organization, the sole governing body of the organization was the board of directors, consisting of three people. Going forward, as committees with authority to act on behalf of the board of directors are created, their meetings and written actions will be contemporaneously documented. Pt VI, Line 11b The Rainey Center reviews the Form 990 by having both the CEO and Board of Directors review the 990 before it is submitted. The CEO sends the 990 to the board of directors asking them for their reviews and comments. They have 24 hours to respond, confirming that they have reviewed the 990 and send any comments, if any, about the 990. At a minimum, they are asked to confirm receipt of the email with the 990 for review. If there are any comments, these will be addressed and sent back to them to finalize before submission. Pt VI, Line 12c The board of directors are in regular contact with each other regarding their professional businesses. The board met for board meetings/calls. Minutes contain 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, the names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the proposed transaction or arrangement, the governing board or committees decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings. All annually sign a compliance statement. Pt VI, Line 15a The process for determining compensation of the Rainey Centers CEO included a review and approval of the board members, including comparability data and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.
