“On an annual basis, board members complete and submit a questionnaire to the board chair to disclose whether there are any conflicts. The board and the executive director will evaluate conflict disclosures and make other necessary inquiries to determine the extent and nature of any actual or potential conflict of interest and, if appropriate, investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the potentially conflicting interest and all material facts, and after answering any questions, the interested person shall recuse himself or herself from deliberations and voting relating to the matter and shall refrain from attempting to influence other decision-makers relating to the matter. However, as a member of the board or committee, an interested director may be counted in determining the establishment of the quorum at a meeting relating to the matter.”

“On an annual basis, the foundation (either the full board or a compensation committee/executive committee) will evaluate the executive director on his/her performance, and ask for his/her input on matters of performance and compensation. The committee will obtain independent information to make a recommendation to the full board for compensation (salary and benefits) of the executive director (and other highly compensated employees or consultants) based on a review of the comparable data. The data may include the following: 1. Information obtained from the irs form 990 filings of similar organizations; 2. Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources; and/or 3. Written job offers for positions at organizations. To approve compensation of the executive director (and other highly compensated employees and consultants) the board must document how it reached its decisions, including the data on which it relied, in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved.”
