“The organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy by requiring all board members, officers, staff, and volunteers to sign a "conflict of interest disclosure form" on an annual basis.

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

“The compensation of the organization's executive director is first reviewed and discussed by the executive committee and then submitted to the board for approval. The executive director salary is documented in the budget that is also approved by the board. However, the director's salary is not compared to similarly qualified persons in comparable positions because this information is not readily available. This organization is such a small operation that comparability data is hard to find.”

“The organization does not have a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant due to the small board of trustees. Instead, the entire board assumes these responsibilities.”
