“The organization has a conflict of interest policy that requires each board officer, director, and senior staff to disclose if they or their immediate family have interests or other employment which would allow them to benefit financially or result in some type of personal gain, due to the influence they may have on decisions made on an annual basis. For the board of directors, if a suspected acutual or potential conflict is identified, the disclosure forms go to the office of the general counsel for review and for senior staff members the disclosure forms go to the senior director of human resources for review.

The actions taken during the board and committee meetings regarding any potential conflict of interest are recorded in the corporation's minutes.”

“The center conducts compensation and benefits analysis, at minimum, every three years to determine if the center's compensation, leave and benefit programs are competitive with comparable organizations. The center uses comparable organization data, benchmark data from the birches group ingo surveys to ensure all roles are paid at the 50th percentile point of the proxy market data and equitably compensated in comparison to similar roles internally. On an annual basis the center provides a salary increase for staff, differentiated by regional inflation. All eligible staff in a region receive the same salary increase. Annually, the board of directors reviews the performance of the individual who is serving as the center's president and ceo. It delegates the decision of ceo compensation to the executive committee of the board. After deliberation with the executive committee, the chairman of the board meets with the president and ceo to present any feedback as well as the decision regarding any change in compensation. The chairman then documents the decision in an email to the chief strategy and operations officer. Ceo compensation is benchmarked using comparable organization data and benchmark data from the birches group. On an annual basis the ceo is eligible for a regional salary increase.”
