After the Form 990 has been approved by the Executive Committee, it is emailed to the Board and then filed with the Internal Revenue Service. A presentation is made at the next Board of Directors meeting to update the full Board regarding its review of the Form 990. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts The filing organization enforces compliance with their conflict of interest policy by annually administering a conflict of interest questionnaire.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees The Executive Committee of the Board relies upon comparability data to determine and approve the compensation of the President and CEO.
