Following the deadline for review, the form is electronically submitted to the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c On an annual basis, Trustees are required to complete and sign the Organization's Trustee and Officer Annual Conflict of Interest Statement which is, in turn, reviewed and approved by the Organization's Compliance Officer. Should any decisions come before the Board of Trustees that potentially present a conflict of interest, Board members are asked to disclose such a conflict to the other members of the Board and abstain from voting on the matter. No such situations arose in 2021. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Trustees and officers of the Board are not compensated. The Associate Director for Guatemala, who is also a Trustee is paid a minimal stipend that is annually approved by the Board. He is a citizen of Guatemala hence does not receive a 1099 for his consultant services. Another Trustee also a citizen of Guatemala is in charge of the Organizations' social media activities and is paid a small stipend that is also approved by the Board.
