        <ExplanationTxt>According to our established sub-recipient monitoring policy we have several monitoring methods in place. We require our grantees to submit program information at specific intervals for their award. This includes but is not limited to program calendars, artist contracts, summary reports, and a final report on activities. We conduct a handful of site visits per program and program cycle. We assess risk on the federal programs by requiring registration with sam.gov. Finally, Arts Midwest staff maintain a regular schedule of communication with each grantee via email, telephone, and grantee web portals. Grants and Other Assistance paid to individuals are paid out in the form of awards for recognition of achievements. These award programs have a specific set of criteria that the applicant must meet. Once applications are screened for this criteria, a panel is convened to review the applicants submissions and those applicants who are ranked the highest are forwarded on to a sub-committee of the board of directors for final application review and selection of awardees.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Each director, officer, key employee, and member of a committee with Board delegated powers shall complete and sign a conflict of interest policy annual statement at the time of his or her initial election or appointment and annually thereafter. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or committee meeting regarding the proposed transaction or arrangement, but after such presentation, the interested person shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the proposed transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest. Additionally, the Chairperson of the Board (or committee) shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the Board (or committee) shall determine whether the organization can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under the circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the Board (or committee) shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors (or committee members), whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the organization and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. Detailed minutes of Board or committee meetings are maintained to document all such situations.</ExplanationTxt>
