Ohio Hospital Association

“The organization currently uses an outside consultant to periodically provide a benchmark of comparable salary ranges for all officers and key employees. Ohio hospital association's compensation is based on the use of this data for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions at similar sized associations.”

“The executive committee shall consist of the chair, chair-elect, immediate past chair, secretary/treasurer, president, and an at-large member. The executive committee shall be authorized to act on behalf of the board of trustees between meetings of the board and shall submit such actions to the board for ratification.”

“The Board repealed the OHA Constitution and consolidated all provisions into an Amended and Restated Code of Regulations. This modernization addressed outdated, redundant, and conflicting provisions and captured OHA's current governance practices. Key changes included simplifying membership to two categories, equalizing voting rights while retaining protections for Type I members, clarifying the annual member meeting process through an electronic voting structure, updating trustee eligibility to remove "headquartered in Ohio" requirements, and refining the nomination process to reflect actual practice. Additional clean-up removed obsolete provisions (personal memberships, geographic districts, outdated dues references) and revised other provisions to reflect governance best practices.”

“OHA is a membership association with two classes of members: (A) Type I Members shall include hospitals, both general and special, that care primarily for patients with conditions normally requiring a comparatively short stay. Eligibility requirements for Type I membership shall be determined by the Board of Trustees and shall include licensure by the State of Ohio. (B) Type II Members shall include those hospitals that are not Type I hospitals and that are designated as long-term acute care (or LTAC) hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, inpatient psychiatric hospitals and inpatient federal hospitals. Eligibility requirements for Type II membership shall be determined by the Board of Trustees.”

“Type I and Type II members have the right to elect key officers (Chair-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer) and at-large Trustees to the Board of Trustees. Elections occur at the annual meeting (or a special meeting for that purpose), with provisions allowing members not in attendance to cast electronic ballots. A candidate is elected only with the approval of a majority of all members voting and a majority of Type I members voting. Nominations are solicited annually from all members, reviewed by the Nominating Committee, and finalized by the Board before being presented for member approval. Eligibility to serve as a trustee is limited to senior executives of member hospitals or affiliates, with the requirement that most trustees be CEOs, COOs, or CFOs of member hospitals or systems.”

“The form 990 and supplemental schedules were reviewed by the Audit/Finance Committee with the paid tax preparer. Additionally, management reviews the 990 for accuracy prior to filing.”

“EACH TRUSTEE, DIRECTOR, PRINCIPAL OFFICER, other officer, key employee, AND MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE WITH BOARD DESIGNATED POWERS SHALL ANNUALLY SIGN A STATEMENT WHICH AFFIRMS THAT SUCH PERSON HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE DUALITY OF INTEREST AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE POLICY, HAS AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY, AND UNDERSTANDS THE ORGANIZATION IS TAX-EXEMPT AND IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION, IT MUST ENGAGE PRIMARILY IN ACTIVITIES WHICH ACCOMPLISH ONE OR MORE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. Any Trustee having a known duality of interest or possible conflict of interest on any matter should make a disclosure of such conflict to the remaining Trustees. Following a determination by the Board of Trustees that a conflict of interest exists, such Trustee will not vote or use his or her personal influence on the matter, but such Trustee may be counted in determining the quorum for the meeting. The minutes of the meeting should reflect the making of the disclosure, the Board's determination on the existence of the conflict, the abstention from voting and the quorum situation. The requirements in this Section 8.2 shall not be construed as preventing any Trustee from briefly stating his or her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions of the Board.”

“An independent compensation committee delegated by the Board of Trustees is responsible for the yearly compensation review of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Outside consultants, salary surveys, and data from comparable organizations are used in the process of determining the CEO's compensation. This process is conducted annually.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request from the organization.”
