“The organization has a conflict-of-interest policy that all employees, board members and officers sign and are aware of. The policy is monitored through our hiring processes and on-boarding. The board members are required to complete an annual disclosure statement. If a conflict arises, it is first brought to the attention of the ceo and president. If the conflict cannot be resolved at that level, the conflict is then brought to the attention of the board of directors.”

“The board of directors determines compensation by first looking at the trend within the industry to determine a baseline salary. The board also takes into consideration years of experience and what strengths the employee will bring to the center and the center's affordability. The process includes approval and is documented through onboarding procedures.”
