Additionally, all officers, directors, and key employees must complete an annual disclosure statement and disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest with respect to all business and family relationships.

“The board of directors has a process for reviewing and approving the compensation of key employees on a regular basis to determine it is fair and reasonable with the goal of retaining employees at compensation levels within appropriate market range. When ceo and other executive level compensation was set at the beginning of the fiscal year, the board relied on a compensation study conducted by an independent compensation consultant. Such compensation studies are performed every two to three years. The results of the study were presented to the full board and the board voted on the compensation packages offered to the ceo and cfo. Additionally, the board approved the compensation ranges for all other key employees; and any subsequent suggested changes to the approved ranges are specifically reviewed and approved by the board prior to implementation. The organization's board of directors contemporaneously documented its deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation arrangements, including who was present, how they voted, a description of the comparability data and how it was obtained.”
