The draft 990 is then reviewed by the Director of Finance & Operations, Executive Director, and the full board before it is finalized. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c This policy applies to all directors, officers, members of a standing committee of the board, and all employees who can influence the actions of CNWE (collectively, "Covered Persons"). For example, this would include all who make purchasing decisions, all other persons who might be described as "management personnel, and all who have proprietary information concerning CNWE. Each Covered Person receives a copy of this policy and signs an acknowledgement that he/she has received, understands and shall comply with this policy. To address questions of conflict of interest, for the protection of both the individual and the organization, each Covered Person annually submits a list of his/her business and charitable affiliations to the Board President or a board or staff member designated by the President for this purpose. This list is maintained in the corporate records of CNWE, and considered matter of public record and is available for review upon request by the public. It is the policy of the Board that the existence of any potentially conflicting interest shall be disclosed before any transaction is consummated. It is the continuing responsibility of Covered Persons to scrutinize their transactions and outside business interests and relationships for potential conflicts and to immediately make such disclosures. Transactions with related parties may be undertaken only if all of the following are observed: 1. A material transaction is fully disclosed; 2. The related party is excluded from the discussion and approval of such transaction, but may provide information if requested to do so; 3. The Board has determined, by the affirmative vote of a 2/3 majority of all disinterested Directors, that the transaction is in the best interest of CNWE. Disclosure within CNWE should be made to the Board President who determines whether an apparent conflict exists and is material, and who shall bring such matters, if material to the Board. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a Compensation for the Executive Director was reviewed during a performance evaluation by the Executive Committee, an independent committee of the Board of Directors, and included the review of comparability data from a third party organization.
