“The organization's president and chief financial officer will review a draft of the federal form 990. After management has reviewed the form 990, the board of directors will be provided with an electronic copy of the form 990 for their review.

“All newly elected board directors complete a conflict of interest form. All existing board directors are required to complete a conflict of interest form annually. If a board director has a conflict of interest, the related party transaction is monitored and evaluated by the remaining board and management to ensure that the transaction is at arm's length. Having a related party transaction with a board director does not preclude that person from serving on the board. If a conflict does exist, the interested individual may make a presentation at a board or committee meeting. However, after the presentation has been made, the interested person must leave the meeting during the discussion of, and vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest. The conflict of interest policy includes language that indicates family and business relationships can be a source of conflicts of interest.”

“Luthercare contracts with an independent party to perform a salary market review for the ceo and executive leadership team. The salary market review includes a review of the compensation agreements in place between comparable non-profit organizations and their executives to ensure that compensation is within fair value range. The report is submitted to the board and compensation committee which approves any increase for the ceo. The ceo uses the report to determine increases for the executive leadership team. The process is performed in conjunction with annual employee salary increases. This process has been discussed at the executive committee level and then discussed in an executive session with the board. The executive commitee documents board and committee discussions on ceo compensation as well as compensation of the executive leadership team.”

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