Both individuals serve in leadership roles consistent with the organizations mission. The Board is aware of this familial relationship and has implemented appropriate oversight to ensure all employment and governance decisions are made in the best interests of the organization. Board Member Dan Egol served concurrently as Secretary, Treasurer, and part-time Chief Operating Officer under a limited-term contract to support administrative and operational functions. He received $15,000 in consulting compensation, approved by the Board of Directors with Dan recused from the discussion and vote. Mr. Egol was also the named recipient of a pass-through grant administered by the organization to support external programmatic work aligned with JBCLIs charitable mission. This disbursement was approved in accordance with JBCLIs conflict-of-interest policy. The Board determined that both transactions were consistent with fair market value and did not constitute excess benefit or private inurement.</ExplanationTxt>
