“The organization retains an external firm to conduct market studies and make recommendations for compensation. Non-union, non-executive roles are evaluated every 2-3 years based on market fluctuations or demand. Executive compensation is evaluated annually and the findings are presented to the "committee on the board" for approval of compensation package. The "committee on the board" is a subcommittee of the board that is responsible for compensation review, and the decisions regarding compensation are documented in committee meeting minutes. An annual benchmark is conducted for executive compensation and for any position that is in high demand, and an external firm provides overall trends for the year. Compensation has been reviewed in 2014.”

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

“Board meetings each board member attends four board meetings per year, which last a total of approximately 16 hours. They are also on two separate committees which have three meetings per year, which last about 16 hours in total. Additionally, each board member spends about two hours per month outside of meetings on inglis business. Therefore, the total time spent on inglis business by non-employee officers and directors is approximately 56 hours, or 1 hour per week.”

“- care management assists individuals with diverse disabilities in accessing services and support so they can live in their own homes in the community. Care managers work one-on-one with individuals to problem-solve and brainstorm solutions, identify and work toward individualized goals for independent living, navigate community services and systems, and arrange and manage resources necessary to live independently. Inglis care management provides services through partnerships with the national multiple sclerosis society, greater delaware valley chapter, thomas jefferson university comprehensive multiple sclerosis center and inglis housing corp. In fy 2014, inglis provided care management services to 435 individuals throughout southeastern pa and nj.”

“Inglis' mission is to enable people with disabilities - and those who care for them - to achieve their goals and live life to the fullest. This mission is accomplished through a range of programs, facilities and strategic initiatives designed to empower adults (ages 18 and older) with severe physical disabilities. The inglis organization grew out of the work of inglis house, a public charity founded in 1877 to provide long-term, rehabilitative medical and nursing care for people with physical disabilities. Today, inglis is a national leader in providing comprehensive care and services for people with paralysis, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spinal cord and other neurological disorders. Inglis supports its consumers with 24-hour care at inglis house, a 297-bed skilled nursing facility; via 269 affordable, accessible apartments in southeastern pa and southern nj; and throughout the region with community support services for employment, care management, an adult day program and drink-aide water bottle sales. During fiscal year 2014 inglis served over 1,000 people directly, and many more indirectly through its website, www.inglis.org, the inglis awards for continuing excellence program and other outreach activities. Program/services accomplishments inglis highlights include: - completed consultation and training for 270 consumers enrolled in the inglis community computing project since the first grant period, which began in april 2011. This three-year grant initiative (funded by the pew charitable trusts) enables consumers living in the community to become more independent and productive by improving their access to computer technology and adaptive computing equipment. Consumers build skills as they use on-line technologies to enhance their daily lives. The grant was renewed for three additional years to increase training opportunities throughout the city. - completed rollout of an electronic medical records (emr) system for residents living at inglis' residential care facility, inglis house, to assure more efficiency and additional time for personal interaction with caregivers. Inglis also partnered with public broadcaster wbgh boston and children's hospital of philadelphia on a three-year demonstration project to make personal health records and technology-based patient information systems accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. - working with 20 colleges, universities and organizations annually to train future healthcare professionals to better understand the unique needs of people with disabilities. - continuing the inglis awards for continuing excellence (ace) program, now in its 11th year, to honor the outstanding performance of other organizations serving people with disabilities throughout the delaware valley. Four organizations received awards in 2014 and continued inglis' goal of sharing best practices regionally and nationally. Forty-four organizations have received ace awards since the program's inception; award distributions exceeded the half-million-dollar level this year. - inglis, in conjunction with the christopher and dana reeve foundation, sponsored the region's first mindfulness for caregivers conference at the doubletree hotel in philadelphia. Research shows that even brief exposure to mindfulness training reduces stress, eases chronic pain and improves wellbeing. Nearly 200 caregivers attended. - the inglis website, www.inglis.org, received two industry awards: best website from pr daily's 2014 nonprofit pr awards, and a 2014 summit international creative award. Both organizations cited the website's accessibility for visitors and programmers with disabilities, as well as its clean design.
