“The indiana rural health association's board of directors empower the ceo to review and reconcile the 990 with the audited financial statements. A copy of the return is provided to the board of directors prior to filing with the irs.”

“At the first meeting of the indiana rural health association board of directors, the conflict of interest statement and forms are distributed to all board members. The signed forms are collected and kept in the irha office. The forms are taken to each board meeting in case they need to be referred to. The ceo continually reviews the conflict of interet forms and looks for conflict/disclosures. If a conflict should arise, the ceo and board president discuss the potential conflict(s) with the board members.”

“The process for determining the ceo's compensation includes reviewing the midwest region association's salary survey for salary compensation, which is shared with irha by the nrha. The organization's board of directors then determines and approves the ceo's compensation. The board of directors also approves the overall compensation budget for all other irha employees. The approved budgeted amount is then dispersed among all staff based on their annual performance.”

“Irha's governing documents, conflict or interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.”
