“Officers and trustees are required to report any conflicts or potential conflicts of interest at least once a year. A questionnaire is completed, signed and dated by the person completing the questionnaire. The results are compiled into a single document and reviewed by senior management and are distributed to the person approving accounts payable and signing the checks. Conflicts of interest are monitored by senior management to ensure that those with conflicts do not vote on matters where they have a conflict of interest. As part of the onboarding process of new officers and trustees, any potential conflicts of interest are identified. Any other conflicts that arise during the year are communicated verbally, and if any are identified, this information is shared.”

“A related organization, life enriching communities, pays compensation to the organization's current ceo and other officers. Total cash compensation, inclusive of base pay, variable compensation, retirement contributions and benefits for applicable positions is compared to data contained in the leading age-cemo senior living compensation survey (a national industry organization). Compensation bands for each applicable position were also established based on the survey data. The executive committee of the life enriching communities board reviews and approves various elements of executive compensation based on and as required by the organization's executive compensation policy and the executive incentive plan. Specifically, the ceo's compensation is reviewed and approved by the executive committee of the life enriching communities board. Compensation for other executive team members is determined by the ceo with recommendations reviewed by the executive committee of the life enriching communities board. These approvals were contemporaneously documented in committee meeting minutes and approved by the life enriching communities board. This process was last undertaken in 2022.”
