An employee with a conflict is not allowed to work on the project involving the conflict.”

“The executive director's performance is reviewed annually by a committee of the board of directors. The committee provides a written and oral review to the executive director based on board and staff review as well as self-review. The committee makes a recommendation for any salary adjustments to the board of directors, who approve any adjustments. The last review was in december 2019. The committee did not review the ed in 2020 because he retired at the end of the year. Compensation and offer for new executive director were completed by the board committee and a third party executive search consultant. The committee made a compensation recommendation to the board and it was ratified.”
