The submitted 990 is made available in the same Board only area. |
| Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12c | Article 6.00 Purpose. The purpose of this Board conflict of interest policy is to protect Echos interests when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interests of an officer or director of Echo or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This policy is intended to supplement, but not replace, any applicable state and federal laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations. This policy is also intended to identify independent directors. Articles 6.01 Definitions. Interested person. Any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person. Financial interest. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which Echo has a transaction or arrangement, b. A compensation arrangement with Echo or with any entity or individual with which Echo has a transaction or arrangement, or c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which Echo is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. A person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the Board or Executive Committee decides that a conflict of interest exists, in accordance with this policy. Independent Director. A director shall be considered independent for the purposes of this policy if he or she is independent as defined in the instructions for the IRS 990 form or, until such definition is available, the director -- a. is not, and has not been for a period of at least three years, an employee of Echo or any entity in which Echo has a financial interest; b. does not directly or indirectly have a significant business relationship with Echo, which might affect independence in decision-making; c. is not employed as an executive of another corporation where any of Echos executive officers or employees serve on that corporations compensation committee; and d. does not have an immediate family member who is an executive officer or employee of Echo or who holds a position that has a significant financial relationship with Echo. Article 6.02 Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the Board or Executive Committee. Article 6.03 Recusal of Self. Any Executive Committee member may recuse himself or herself at any time from involvement in any decision or discussion in which the member believes he or she has or may have a conflict of interest, without going through the process for determining whether a conflict of interest exists. Article 6.04 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/she shall leave the Board or Executive Committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board or Officers shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. Article 6.05 Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or Executive Committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The President of the Executive Committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the Board or Executive Committee shall determine whether Echo 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. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Board or Executive Committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in Echos 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. Article 6.06 Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy. If the Board or Executive 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. If, after hearing the members response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the Board or Executive Committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. Article 6.07 Records of Proceedings The minutes of the Board and all committees with board delegated powers shall contain: 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 Boards or Executive Committees decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed. 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. Article 6.08 Periodic Reviews. To ensure Echo operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects: a. Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information (if reasonably available), and the result of arms length bargaining. b. Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations, if any, conform to Echos written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement or impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction. Article 6.09 Use of Outside Experts When conducting the periodic reviews as provided for in Article 6.08, Echo may, but is not required, to use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the Officers of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted. |
