“Jed has a written conflict of interest policy for its board of directors and officers. Each director and officer is required to complete and submit an annual conflict of interest disclosure form. The disclosure form is reviewed by jed's general counsel, and potential conflicts are addressed by the board.”

“Each year, the executive committee, which has only independent directors, reviews and approves the compensation of the chief executive officer, other officers, and key employees. In making their determination, they review and consider data regarding comparable salaries and performance. The board then approves the overall salary pool as part of its budget-approval process.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request.”

“Jed partners with high schools and colleges to strengthen their mental health, substance misuse prevention, and suicide prevention programs and systems. We equip teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and each other. We also encourage community awareness, understanding and action in support of teen and young adult mental health.”
