Workers Compensation Research Institute

“The organization is a research organization whose members consist of employers, insurers, state funds, state governments and labor organizations.”

“The responsiblity for policymaking rests with the organization's board of directors, a representative group that is elected by the membership for staggered three-year terms.”

“After the preparation of the 990 by the accounting department and an outside accounting firm, it is reviewed by the executive director and deputy director prior to filing. A copy is also provided to the treasurer of the board of directors and the executive committee for review prior to filing.”

“The conflict of interest policy is distributed annually to the board of directors and the deputy director tracks the disclosures, if any, by any board members.”

“Annually, the board of directors determines the compensation for both executive director and the deputy director which are two key management positions for the organization. The compensation determination is based on appropriate comparable data and is approved by and documented by a compensation committee. A compensation survey of similiar positions is conducted by an outside consultant every three years.”

“Documents available to the public upon request.”
