Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c This conflict of interest policy is designed to help Directors, officers and employees of PROJECT TRANSFORMATION ARKANSAS (referred to as the "CORPORATION") identify situations that present potential conflicts of interest and to provide CORPORATION with a procedure which, if observed, will allow a transaction to be treated as valid and binding even though a Director, officer or employee has or may have a conflict of interest with respect to the transaction. This policy is intended to comply with the procedures prescribed in Arkansas Code § 4-33-831, which governs conflicts of interest for directors of nonprofit corporations. If there is any inconsistency between the requirements and procedures outlined in this policy and those specified in § 4-33-831, the provisions of the statute shall take precedence. All capitalized terms are defined in Part 2 of this policy. 1. Conflict of Interest Defined. For purposes of this policy, the following circumstances shall be deemed to create Conflicts of Interest: A. Outside Interests. (i) A Contract or Transaction between CORPORATION and a Responsible Person or Family Member. (ii) A Contract or Transaction between CORPORATION and an entity in which a Responsible Person or Family Member has a Material Financial Interest or of which such person is a Director, officer, agent, partner, associate, trustee, personal representative, receiver, guardian, custodian, conservator or other legal representative. B. Outside Activities. (i) A Responsible Person competing with CORPORATION in the rendering of services or in any other Contract or Transaction with a third party. (ii) A Responsible Person's having a Material Financial Interest in; or serving as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, associate, trustee, personal representative, receiver, guardian, custodian, conservator or other legal representative of, or consultant to; an entity or individual that competes with CORPORATION in the provision of services or in any other Contract or Transaction with a third party. C. Gifts, Gratuities and Entertainment. A Responsible Person accepting gifts, entertainment or other favors from any individual or entity that: (i) does or seeks to do business with, or is a competitor of CORPORATION; or (ii) has received, is receiving or is seeking to receive a loan or grant, or to secure other financial commitments from the CORPORATION; under circumstances where it might be inferred that such action was intended to influence or possibly would influence the Responsible Person in the performance of his or her duties. This does not preclude the acceptance of items of nominal or insignificant value or entertainment of nominal or insignificant value that are not related to any particular transaction or activity of the CORPORATION. 2. Definitions. A. A "Conflict of Interest" is any circumstance described in Part 1 of this Policy. B. A "Responsible Person" is any person serving as a Director, officer, or employee of CORPORATION. C. A "Family Member" is a spouse, parent or sibling of a spouse, parent, child or spouse of a child, brother, sister, or spouse of a brother or sister, of a Responsible Person. D. A "Material Financial Interest" in an entity is a financial interest of any kind, which, in view of all the circumstances, is substantial enough that it would, or reasonably could, affect a Responsible Person's or Family Member's judgment with respect to transactions to which the entity is a party. E. A "Contract or Transaction" is any agreement or relationship involving the sale or purchase of goods, services, or rights of any kind, the providing or receipt of a loan or grant, the establishment of any other type of pecuniary relationship, or review of an educational organization by CORPORATION. The making of a gift or contribution to CORPORATION is not a Contract or Transaction. 3. Procedures. A. Prior to Board of Director or committee action on a Contract or Transaction involving a Conflict of Interest, a Director or committee member having a Conflict of Interest and who is in attendance at the meeting shall disclose all facts material to the Conflict of Interest. Such disclosure shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. B. A Director or committee member who plans not to attend a meeting at which he or she has reason to believe that the Board of Directors or committee will act on a matter in which the person has a Conflict of Interest shall disclose to the chair of the meeting all facts material to the Conflict of Interest. The chair shall report the disclosure at the meeting and the disclosure shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. C. A person who has a Conflict of Interest shall not participate in or be permitted to hear the Board of Director's or committee's discussion of the matter except to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. Such person shall not attempt to exert his or her personal influence with respect to the matter, either at or outside the meeting. D. A person who has a Conflict of Interest with respect to a Contract or Transaction that will be voted on at a meeting shall not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum for purposes of the vote. The person having a conflict of interest may not vote on the Contract or Transaction and shall not be present in the meeting room when the vote is taken, unless the vote is by secret ballot. Such person's ineligibility to vote shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. E. Responsible Persons who are not members of the Board of Directors of CORPORATION, or who have a Conflict of Interest with respect to a Contract or Transaction that is not the subject of Board of Director or committee action, shall disclose to the Chairman or the Chairman's designee any Conflict of Interest that such Responsible Person has with respect to a Contract or Transaction. Such disclosure shall be made as soon as the Conflict of Interest is known to the Responsible Person. The Responsible Person shall refrain from any action that may affect CORPORATION's participation in such Contract or Transaction. In the event it is not entirely clear that a Conflict of Interest exists, the individual with the potential conflict shall disclose the circumstances to the Chairman or the Chairman's designee, who shall determine whether there exists a Conflict of Interest that is subject to this policy. 4. Confidentiality. Each Responsible Person shall exercise care to protect confidential information acquired in connection with such status or information the disclosure of which might be adverse to the interests of CORPORATION. Furthermore, a Responsible Person shall not disclose or use information relating to the business of CORPORATION for the personal profit or advantage of the Responsible Person or a Family Member. 5. Review of policy. A. Each new Responsible Person shall be required to review a copy of this policy and to acknowledge in writing that he or she has done so. B. As requested by the Chairman or the Board of Director, each Responsible Person shall complete a disclosure form identifying any relationships, positions or circumstances in which the Responsible Person is involved that he or she believes could contribute to a Conflict of Interest arising. Such relationships, positions or circumstances might include service as a consultant to CORPORATION, or ownership of a business that might provide goods or services to CORPORATION. Any such information regarding business interests of a Responsible Person or a Family Member shall be treated as confidential and shall generally be made available only to the Chairman and any committee appointed to address Conflicts of Interest, except to the extent additional disclosure is necessary in connection with the implementation of this Policy. C. This policy shall be reviewed annually by each member of the Board of Directors. Any changes to the policy shall be communicated immediately to all Responsible Persons. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The organization follows a formal process for determining compensation for its Executive Director and would for other key employees if they were hired that includes review and approval by independent members of the Board of Directors who do not have a conflict of interest. The Board considers appropriate comparability data, including compensation levels for similar positions in comparable nonprofit organizations, and documents its deliberation and decision at the time the compensation is approved. This process is consistently applied to ensure compensation is reasonable, justified, and in compliance with IRS requirements. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents are available upon request and kept in a drive available to all board members. Filing system was updated in the midst of preparation.
