The board of directors has established a conflict of interest policy applicable to directors and officers. Disclosure of potential conflicts are required to be made by all directors and officers on an annual basis. Disclosures of any such potential conflicts are reviewed annually by the board's governance committee and the executive director. Directors and officers' signed annual certifications of complicance with the conflict of interest policy are on file with the executive director. Any individuals who have a conflict of interest are prohibited from deliberations and voting on the subject transaction.”

“The compensation of the executive director and key employees is established by the board of directors after an independent, outside review of industry surveys, compensation studies, and other data to ensure that executive compensation is within the range of that paid to comparable executives of comparable organizations for comparable services, and therefore reasonable. These reviews are performed on a biennial basis by an independent outside consultant. The last review was performed in 2018 and compensation was found to be within the range for comparable executives at comparable organizations.”
