“The members of the association have the authority to elect the members of the governing body.”

“The association's federal form 990 is completed by an independent cpa firm with the assistance of the association's operations director and the executive director. A draft of the form 990 is given to one or more of the association's board executive committee members (chairman, vice-chairman, treasurer, and/or secretary) for review and approval. After this review and approval, but before filing, the form 990 and all supporting schedules are delivered to each board member to review. After the board of directors review, the form 990 is filed with the irs.”

“The board members receive a copy of the "conflict of interest policy" before each board meeting. The board members acknowledge their receipt and understanding of the policy by signing and returning the signed copy to the executive director.”

“A committee of the board asks the executive director for a self-evaluation of his performance against goals. The committee seeks peer evaluations from fellow board members, staff, and outside conservation partners. The committee reviews the executive director compensation for comparable organizations. The committee reviews the peer evaluations, integrates them with their assessment of performance, and completes a written performance review. The review is presented orally and in writing to the executive director by the chairman of the board of directors.”
