“The Board Secretary is in charge of compliance and monitors the introductory and annual filing of conflict of interest questionnaires for Board members. Soulforce prohibits all Board and Staff from acting where they have or may have a conflict of interest and requires that Board and Staff disclose relationships which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Employees agree to a conflict of interest policy that requires disclosure of conflicts as they arise to the Executive Director. Similarly, the Executive Director is contractually required to disclose conflicts to the Board for reconciliation.”

“When considering the revision of the Co-Executive Directors' compensation plans during the 2021 year, salary rates of similar-sized organizations' Executive Directors were used for comparison data to establish a fair rate for Soulforce's Co-Executive Directors.

This decision was recorded in the relevant Board meeting notes, as well as documented in an email immediately following the meeting.”

In 2021, REAP organized 49 plaintiffs for a class action lawsuit about discrmination at Christian colleges, amplified the stories of discrimination against LGBTQ students at Christian colleges to over 100 news sources, and had over 45,000 views of their website to learn more about the lawsuit.”
