“The organization consistently and regularly monitors and enforces the organization's conflict of interest policy. All board members are covered under the conflict of interest policy. Staff members are covered under a policy included in the employee handbook, which each employee is required to sign. A person who has a conflict is required to disclose it to the board and determinations are made by the full board. All conflicts are reviewed at the board level. The board will determine whether the conflict warrants the conflicted board member to recuse himself or herself from discussion and/or voting on the subject of the conflict, on a case by case basis.”

“Senior executives'(executive director, director of programs and outreach, director of development, office manager and land manager) compensation is reviewed relative to data on non-profit executive's compensation in the fairfield and westchester county area. Senior executives submit an annual self appraisal which is reviewed by their immediate superior who provides comments/feedback on the self appraisal. The combined self appraisals are reviewed by chairman and discussed with the finance committee during the budget process. The executive director recommends changes in compensation to the chairman and committee for employees at the director and manager level. The full board approves changes in compensation for: the executive director, director of programs and outreach, director of development, land manager and office manager. The executive director approves compensation increases for lower level employees after review by the finance committee. This process was last undertaken between october and november 2014, and the board's approval of the updated salaries is documented in the minutes of the meeting.”
