“The organization has a written conflict of interest policy that requires officers, directors, and senior employees to annually disclose potential conflicts of themselves and their family members on a questionnaire distributed by the chief finance and operations officer. The chief finance and operations officer ensures that all questionnaires are completed, reviews them for conflicts and submits to the board for review any questionnaires that disclose actual or potential conflicts. Board members and officers have an ongoing reporting requirement to report any conflicts of interest as they arise, as stated in the questionnaire.”

“The board of directors, upon the recommendation of the executive committee, establishes reasonable compensation and benefits for the executive director position. The executive director does not participate in the discussions and deliberations of, and voting on, their compensation and is not counted in determining a quorum at any meeting in which their compensation is discussed. This procedure follows the rebuttable presumption procedure laid out by the irs. During this process, the board of directors reviews comparable compensation data and the decision is recorded in the board's minutes. Pay increases for the executive director come, in writing, from the president of the board of directors. The executive director reviews industry standards and salary surveys to determine compensation for other officers and key employees.”
