“The organization has a written conflict of interest policy which requiresall board members to annually disclose interests that could give rise to conflict. The organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the policy. Each year at the annual meeting, board members are asked to complete a conflict of interest disclosure form. The forms are reviewed by the president of the board and the executive director who determine if conflicts of interest exist. Conflicts are reviewed by the board of directors. A board member with a potential conflict must not vote on the matter or attempt to influence any other directors.”

“The executive director's salary is reviewed annually as part of an annual performance review that includes feedback solicited from all board members and staff. Periodically, an informal compensation comparison is performed using information derived from form 990s for selected local non-profit organizations. A compensation comparison was last conducted in 2022 and the current executive director was hired in 2023. The cost of living rate is also taken into consideration when determining compensation. The finance committee and the board of directors vote on the executive director compensation as part of the budget approval process, which is documented in the meeting minutes.”

“The organization makes its form 990 available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. The return is also posted on guidestar.org and other similar types of websites. In addition, the financial statements, conflict of interest policy, articles of incorporation and by-laws are also available upon written request or by calling the organization directly.”
