Where any real or perceived conflicts exist, officers and trustees are expected to recuse themselves (1) from meetings during times when the topics of potential conflict are discussed and (2) from voting on such matters.

“Stephens community health care foundation has no employees. The officers of the organization are paid by its parent company, western maine health care, corp. (ein 01-0411788) who through its parent company mainehealth, has a formal written compensation policy in place. In consultation with an outside consulting firm, the mainehealth board compensation committee establishes appropriate compensation parameters for each organization's ceo and certain members of their senior management team. Working within these parameters, the western maine health care board determines the level of compensation for its ceo. The findings of the compensation committee are made transparent to, and voted on by, the full governing board. The "total executive compensation" is filed publicly by the organization, and includes "total cash compensation" and "total value of all benefits and perquisites" associated with the position. The board takes necessary action to prevent the ceo from voting or directly participating in the final committee determination of his own compensation. The organization's executive compensation procedures rely upon appropriate data for comparability (e.g. Compensation levels paid by both taxable and tax-exempt similarly situated organizations and independent surveys by nationally recognized independent firms). Finally, the organization refrains from allowing executive compensation to ever be based solely on western maine health care, corp.'s revenues or other similar profit-sharing strategies.”
