“To monitor and enforce compliance with the organizations conflict of interest policy all Trustees officers and any key employees annually complete a questionnaire.

If any actual or potential conflicts are identified they are brought to the attention of the Board for appropriate disposition.”

“The organizations process for determining the Executive Directors compensation is as follows: 1. The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees meets at least once each year to set the Executive Directors compensation for the following calendar year. None of the Committee members has a conflict of interest with respect to the Executive Directors compensation arrangements. The Committee utilizes comparability data and keeps contemporaneous minutes of its deliberations and decisions. 2. The Committee reports its decisions to the Board at the regular December meeting of the Board. During the year the only position for which this process was used was that of the Executive Director. This process has not been used for any other officers or key employees since no other officers are compensated and the organization has no other key employees.”
