Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The form 990 is reviewed and accepted by the Treasurer and the Finance Committee of the Board as needed prior to filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Board members sign an agreement against any conflict of interest. If there should arise for determination by the Executive Board a case of real or apparent conflict between the interests of a trustee or of someone close to him or her and the interests of the Society, the trustee should make the outside interest a matter of record. Should the trustee be present when votes are being cast on the matter, he or she should abstain from voting. If disclosures of the interest and abstention from voting are insufficient to allay the suspicion of conflict of interest, the appropriate course for the trustee may be to resign.
