“The Form 990 is reviewed by the Audit, Finance, and Investments Committee, Executive Director, and Finance Director before being filed. A draft is also made available to each Board Member to review before being filed.”

“The Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for recruiting, screening, interviewing, and selecting individuals qualified to become Board members to stand for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. In its review process, the Governance Committee assesses, among other things, if the candidate is free of conflicts of interest that would interfere with their ability to discharge their duties as a Board member or would violate any applicable law or regulation. Prior to the initial election of a director, such person must complete, sign, and submit a written statement identifying any potential conflict. Thereafter, on an annual basis, a director must sign an Affirmation of Compliance and Disclosure Statement. The director is also under a continuing obligation to disclose any potential conflict of interest by filing a supplemental Disclosure Statement, as soon as a potential conflict of interest is known or reasonably should be known. Officers and Key Employees also are required to identify potential conflicts and submit annual Disclosure Statements. The Governance Committee of the Board oversees the implementation, and compliance with, the Conflict of Interest Policy. The Disclosure Statements are reviewed by the Governance Committee. The Committee makes determinations with respect to conflicts of interest and Related Party Transactions. The person with a conflict of interest cannot be present at or participate in the Committee's deliberations or voting on the matter giving rise to the conflict. The minutes of the Committee's meeting at which a conflict of interest or Related Party Transaction is discussed or voted upon documents in detail the existence and resolution of the conflict.”

“The compensation for the Executive Director is determined annually by the Board of Directors, in an executive session, at which time the Directors review various data, including comparability data, and make a decision. Their deliberations and approval are contemporaneously substantiated in the minutes of the meeting. The salaries of other key employees and all other employees are approved annually by the Board of Directors during the budget approval process. In general, once established, the base salaries are thereafter reviewed for annual increases. During the course of the year, the Executive Director, in consultation with the Human Resources director, may, from time to time, make modest changes to an employee's salary to reflect changes in job responsibilities or to make market adjustments. Such changes and their impact on the budget are reported to the Audit, Finance, and Investments Committee in a timely manner.”

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