“The president & ceo and vice president each review the draft form 990 which is prepared by a cpa firm and is then provided to the organization's board members prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

“Organization policies, to include conflict of interest, are reviewed annually by the organization's board of directors and executive management team to ensure compliance. If a conflict of interest should arise, the interested board member shall disclose all material facts to the board of directors, and shall not be present during board discussion or decision on the matter, other than when asked to respond to inquiries at the discretion of the board of directors.”

“The executive committee of the board of directors (which serves as the board compensation committee) commissions an independent compensation consultant to either 1) conduct a competitive assessment of the president and ceo's, and other key employee's, compensation versus compensation for similar positions in the relevant labor market or 2) advise on a compensation increase based on the existing assessment. A full assessment is conducted every few years and draws on data from published surveys and selected comparison organizations. This assessment was last done in december 2015 for the president and ceo and january 2015 for the other key employees. The consultant advises on compensation increases in the intervening years based on data from available salary planning surveys. The relevant labor market includes comparable educational organizations and associations, health policy research and consulting firms, the federal government, philanthropic support organizations, other non-profits, and general industry in the washington, d.c. Area. Comparability is based on such criteria as annual operating budget, required skill/experience level, and type and complexity of programs and services.”

“Upon considersation of the organization's board of directors, the governing documents (for which the bylaws are not required to be disclosed), conflict of interest policy and finanacial statements are made available to the public upon request.”
