LUKE'S FINANCE COMMITTEE (SEPTEMBER 2016) ALL OF THE ABOVE GROUPS WERE PROVIDED WITH A COMPLETE COPY OF THE 2015 FORM 990. IN SEPTEMBER 2016, THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER MADE A PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD REGARDING THE FORM 990 AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. IN THE CASE OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE FORM 990 REVIEW WAS LISTED AS AN AGENDA ITEM AT THEIR RESPECTIVE MEETINGS. THE CFO OF ST.
