“The executive committee is composed of all officers of the board of directors, plus the chairs of each standing committee. The executive committee assists cca management in monitoring the business of cca between regularly scheduled board meetings. The executive committee is also authorized to address and resolve all personnel issues, as deemed by the committee, to require its attention.”

“Cca has delegated certain management duties to glen katlein, an independent consultant and member of the alliance of independent cfo consultants. These management duties consist of some duties customarily performed by a chief financial officer, including reviewing work performed by cca accounting staff employees, reviewing financial reports provided to the ceo, board of directors, and audit/fianace committee, and reviewing form 990 and audit report drafts. Glen katlein does not have authority or control of cca activites. However, he does provide leadership guidance and recommendations to the ceo and the board based on these review duties.”

“The form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm with assistance from cca staff. It is then reviewed by the finance committee and a recommendation is made to the board for approval. Once accepted, the 990 is filed with the irs.”

“All board members are required to sign an annual conflict of interest statement disclosing any potential conflicts of interest. The conflict of interest policy is monitored annually by the board. All potential conflicts of interest, no matter how small or insignificant, are to be reported to the board chair prior to engaging in a conflict of interest action. The board chair will ask the board of directors to make a decision as to whether the relationship is an appropriate one for cca. The board member declaring the conflict will have no vote on the matter. Moreover, the person having a conflict shall retire from the room in which the board (or its committee) is meeting and shall not participate in the final deliberation regarding the matter under consideration. However, the person shall be permitted to provide the board or committee with any and all relevant information prior to leaving the meeting.”

“The president/ceo's compensation is determined by the board governance committee and communicated to the board of directors. The board governance committee receives input from the directors. A compensation survey of other not-for-profit organizations is also considered in determining the president/ceo's compensation package. The committee and board discussions are documented concurrently with the meeting. The process described here was last completed in 2023.”

“The governing documents and organization's conflict of interest policy are made available upon request. The organization's financial statement summary is published in the annual impact report and mailed to donors. The financial statements and form 990 are made available upon request and on the organization's website.”
