Additionally, the Board of Directors is provided a copy of the 990 before the form is filed. Pt VI, Line 12c A copy of this policy, and the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement, shall be given to all Directors, and Officers upon commencement of such persons relationship with the VHF. Each Board Member and officer shall sign and date the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement at the beginning of his or her term of service or employment and each year thereafter. Failure to sign does not nullify the policy. Pt VI, Line 15a The salary of the executive director is reviewed and approved by the board of directors taking into account compensation at similar size nonprofits. Pt VI, Line 18 Form 1023 is available upon request. Forms 990 are available on the websites of the IRS and many charity watch organizations and upon request.
