“The standard of behavior of indiana legal services, inc (ils) is that all staff, volunteers, and board members scrupulously avoid conflicts of interest between the interests of ils on the one hand and personal, professional, and business interest on the other. This includes avoiding potential, as well as actual conflicts of interest, and perceptions of conflicts of interest. This policy is intended to supplement, but not replace the indiana rules of professional conduct or any applicable state or federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations, and to protect the integrity of ils' decision-making process, enable our constituencies to have confidence in our integrity, and protect the integrity and reputations of volunteers, staff, and board members.”

“The executive committee of the board of directors reviews on an annual basis the executive director's salary, which is generally based upon the salary level of executive directors in similar organizations with commensurate experience.”

“When the salary of the top financial official was last set, a consultant reviewed the salaries of comparable professionals in comparable positions and recommended a salary range. The range was reviewed and approved by both the compensation and benefits committee and the full board of directors. This process was contemporaneously documented. Annually, the salary for the top management official is adjusted by the executive director, within the range approved by the governing body, based on the experience of the incumbent.”
