“Every board member, officer and employee is required to sign annually a Conflict of Interest Statement disclosing actual or potential conflicts of interest with the organization. The Compliance Officer has been appointed by the Board to review the disclosure statements and ensure compliance with the Conflict of Interest Policy. Additionally, each board member, officer, and employee is required to disclose actual and potential conflicts of interest in advance of the completion of the organization's investment transactions through Elevate and its subsidiary entities. In the event that there are conflicts of interest that arise that are not related to the organization's investment activities, the board members and staff must disclose the conflict or potential conflict to the compliance officer and abstain from any decision-making as it pertains to the conflict.”

“During 2016, the board retained the services of an outside independent consultant to conduct a market comparison that provides comparability data for similarly qualified persons at similar organizations. Annually, the compensation package of the chief executive officer is reviewed by the organization's independent compensation committee and is then reported to the board of directors for approval. Any board member with a conflict of interest was not involved in the deliberations or approval. The salary review process is contemporaneously documented in the minutes.”
