Record Retention and Document Destruction Policy

Record retention and document destruction are distinct but complementary issues. Record retention balances the need for an organization to maintain accurate and appropriate files with the challenge of limited physical and electronic space for archives. All businesses need to keep documents that preserve institutional history for strategic planning, regulatory compliance, and legal purposes. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 forbids purging of documents when any organization — nonprofit or for- profit — is under federal investigation. Document destruction policies provide guidelines for the proper disposal of records and prevent destruction of relevant documentation if the organization is involved in litigation. It is a federal crime to alter, cover up, falsify, or destroy any document to prevent its use in an official proceeding. Retention and destruction policies are helpful under any circumstances. When already in place, these policies not only help nonprofits retain appropriate historical and legal documentation, but they also clarify the steps to take if a federal investigation ever takes place. Proposed RRD Record Retention and Document Destruction Policy TRC takes seriously its obligations to preserve information relating to litigation, audits, and investigations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes it a crime to alter, cover up, falsify, or destroy any document to prevent its use in an official proceeding. Failure on the part of Directors, Agents or Volunteers to follow this policy can result in possible civil and criminal sanctions against TRC and its directors and officers and possible disciplinary action per TRC By-Laws against responsible directors or members. TRC will retain documents in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practices and applicable laws. From time to time, the President or his/her delegate from the Board or the Chair of the Audit Committee may issue a “legal hold,” suspending the destruction of any records due to pending, threatened, or otherwise reasonably foreseeable litigation, audits, government investigations, or similar proceedings. No records specified in any legal hold may be destroyed, even if the scheduled destruction date has passed, until the legal hold is withdrawn in writing by the person placing the hold.

Whistle blower Policy

Tulsa Running Club (TRC) Whistleblower Protection Policy Board Approved April 2019 The TRC requires directors, officers, and volunteers to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. As representatives of the organization, we must practice honesty and integrity in fulfilling our responsibilities and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Reporting Responsibility It is the responsibility of all directors, officers, agents and volunteers to comply with TRC policies and to report violations or suspected violations of the law in accordance with this policy. No Retaliation No director, officer, agent or volunteer, who in good faith reports a violation of the law, shall suffer harassment, retaliation, or adverse employment consequence even if the report is mistaken, or against any agent or individual who assists in the investigation of a reported violation. An agent, officer or director who retaliates against someone who has reported a violation of the law in good faith is subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or removal from the organization. This Whistleblower Policy is intended to encourage and enable agents and others to raise concerns about illegal activity within the organization. Reporting Alleged Violations Officers, directors, and agents are expected to report suspected violations of TRC policies or illegal activities to the TRC President. If the President is alleged to be in violation of the law, then the report should be submitted to the President Elect, Vice President, or other officer. The Executive Committee will investigate a submitted report with assistance from one general board member appointed by the Board for such purposes. If legal council is needed, the President or member of the Executive committee as delegated will engage it at that time. The Executive Committee is authorized to retain legal council to address a complaint if it involves the President of TRC. A report of findings will be submitted to the Board with recommendations for action. Suspected illegal activity or suspected violations of TRC policies may be submitted on a confidential basis by the complainant. Reports will be kept confidential to the extent possible except to the extent necessary 1) to conduct a complete and fair investigation, or 2) for review of TRC operations by the TRC Audit Committee (members as determined by the board) the TRC’s independent public auditor or agent and the TRC’s legal counsel. For a proper investigation to be conducted as much information as possible should be reported and it should clearly outline the perceived illegal act or violation of TRC policies. The report should outline a specific incident with dates and names of individual(s) involved. This report should be supplied in order to conduct a sufficient investigation. Accounting and Auditing Matters The Audit Committee shall address all reported concerns or complaints regarding corporate accounting practices, internal controls, or auditing. The Chair of the Audit Committee shall immediately report to the TRC President if any illegal accounting practices are reported by the independent auditors or agents and will work with the Audit Committee until the matter is resolved. Acting in Good Faith Anyone filing a complaint concerning suspected illegal activity or a violation of TRC policies must be acting in good faith and have reasonable grounds for believing the information disclosed indicates a violation of the law or TRC policies. Any allegations that prove not to be substantiated and which prove to have been made maliciously or knowingly to be false will be viewed as malfeasance and addressed accordingly. Handling of Reported Violations The appropriate person as outlined in this policy to receive an official complaint will notify the complainant and acknowledge receipt of the reported within 10 business days. All reports will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective action will be taken if warranted by the investigation. Outside legal council may be consulted as needed or warranted by the complaint. Adapted for the TRC from the sample Whistleblower Policy written by the National Council of Nonprofit Associations, www.ncna.org. 2004. Examples of Illegal Activities The following is a non-exhaustive list of the kinds of activities that should be reported: • Supplying false or misleading information on the TRC’s financial or other public documents, including its Form 990 • Providing false information to or withholding material information from the TRC’s independent auditors or its agents • Destroying, falsifying, or concealing any records that are official documents of the organization and if the actions are in violation of the law • Altering, destroying, or concealing a document, or attempting to do so, with the intent to impair the document’s availability for use in an official proceeding or otherwise obstructing, influencing, or impeding any official proceeding, in violation of federal or state law or regulations • Embezzling TRC funds or benefiting financially through association with the TRC, for example serving on the board and entering into a financially beneficial contract with the organization • Paying for services or goods that are not rendered or delivered. “Laundering” funds • Using remarks or actions of a sexual nature that are not welcome and are likely to be viewed as personally offensive, including sexual flirtations; unwelcome physical or verbal advances; sexual propositions; verbal abuse of a sexual nature; the display of sexually suggestive objects, cartoons, or pictures; and physical contact of a sexual or particularly personal nature • Using epithets, slurs, negative stereotyping, and threatening, intimidating, or hostile acts that relate to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, or disability • Circulating or posting written or graphic material in the workplace (as consist of any group activity solely sponsored and supported by TRC) that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual or group because of race, color, religion, gender, nationality, age, or disability • Discriminating against an agent or potential agent due to a person’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, physical or mental impairment, or veteran status • Violating TRC’s Conflict-of-Interest Policy, Whistleblower Policy, or Document Retention & Destruction Policy • Facilitating or concealing any of the above or similar actions
