“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The minutes of the meeting shall contain the names of the persons who disclosed a possible conflict of interest, the nature of the potential conflict, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the board's or committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed. The minutes shall also document the names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings. All employees providing professional services are strictly prohibited from establishing a private individual/professional contract, directly or indirectly, to provide professional services of a similar nature to those services provided by pcda, to any child, family, community professional, or agency, while employed at pcda upon hire, all employees are required to disclose the executive director any existing private service he/she provides to a child, family, professional, or agency.”

“Pcda utilizes a formal mechanism to review the salary of the executive director. An annual review is conducted by a committee of the board, in conjunction with the performance review. A survey of salaries of comparable positions is part of the review. A written report is generated, discussed and approved by the board. Compensation scales for all employees are reviewed by the finance committee annually in october. Comparability data is utilized to determine pay rates. Salaries of other officers and key employees are in accordance with these compensation scales by independent persons. The final determinations are documented in the minutes of the meeting. This process occurs annually for both the executive director and other employees.”

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