Approximately half of the director positions are up for election annually.

Board members voted to approve the return for submission to the IRS via a Google Form that can be accessed at: https://forms.gle/Gd99hT9hJATpUBiM9. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Article 11.6 of SEFAA's Bylaws states: Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such a person: 11.6.1 has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy; 11.6.2 has read and understands the policy; 11.6.3 has agreed to comply with the policy, and 11.6.4 understands the corporation is charitable and, in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. The completed forms are scanned and uploaded to the Board of Directors' Google Team Drive. Hard copies are maintained by the Corporation's Executive Director. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Article 11.5.4.2 of SEFAA's Bylaws states: All members of the board or compensation committee who approve compensation arrangements must not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement as specified in IRS regulation Section 53.4958-6(c)(ii). Article 11.5.4.3 of SEFAA's Bylaws states: The board or compensation committee shall obtain and duly rely upon appropriate data as to comparability prior to approving the terms of compensation. Appropriate data is described in 11.5.4.3.1 through 11.5.4.3.5. Article 11.5.4.4 of SEFAA's Bylaws states: The terms of compensation and basis for approving them shall be recorded in written minutes of the meeting of the board or compensation committee that approved the compensation. The details of the required documentation are specified in 11.5.4.4.1 through 11.5.4.4.7. This process was explicitly followed when we hired our first part-time employee on 7/1/2022.
