“Annually Board members and key employees are required to review the conflict of interest policy and sign a document affirming that they have read and understand the policy. They must indicate if any conflict of interest exists and fully describe such conflict.They are also required to bring to the Boards attention any conflict of interest that may arise.”

Part VI, Line 15

“In 2023 the organization hired a consultant to do a compensation study. CEO: a review is done using comparative data of equal positions within comparative organizations. Experience and seniority are a factor of consideration. Independent opinions are sought to substantiate the decision. Officers: The policy for management and administrative staff is to receive an annual increase of 3% or a minimum of $1000 provided the budget allows. Exceptions can be made to this policy based on exceptional merit but within the comparative norm.”
