He is not a key employee, or director. While his advice on a programming issue may be sought he has no official voting power on programming decisions. Director Richard Roberts does not vote due to conflict of interest on any matter that would benefit contractor Matthew Yang Part VI, Line 11b Upon completion of the 990 form it is attached to an email sent to all directors of the governing body for their review. Part VI, Line 12c Yes at the beginning of every board meeting NETCA's By-Laws Article II Section 2.11 Conflicts of Interest is read aloud which states NETCA Directors must avoid any situation including outside interests or jobs which might interfere with their ability to exercise independent judgment with respect to their board responsibilities. A conflict of interest exists when a Directors duty to give undivided loyalty to NETCA may be prejudiced by actual or potential benefit from another source. Each Director is expected to avoid any association or investment which might appear to interfere with the independent exercise of his or her judgment and interests. The BOD will publish a separate Conflict of Interest Policy applicable to Directors and staff. After the conflict of policy is read the question is asked if there are any conflicts. There were no conflicts in 2023. Part VI, Line 15 Compensation is determined by collective board agreement upon usual and reasonable standards in today's work market in and around churches. If anything contract fees for our contractors are probably much less than the average work market but it is agreed upon by all contractors except where a conflict of interest may arise Part VI, Line 18 NETCA's 990 form is available for public view on the IRS.gov website and on several 3rd party websites on the internet. A simple entry into one's browser with our organization's name will yield several access sites to our annual 990 forms.
