“Officers and Trustees are required to complete a Conflict of Interest Statement each year identifying any interest that could give rise to conflicts. These forms are reviewed and lists of potential conflicts are prepared and used to monitor the Officers and Trustees involvement with decisions throughout the year. If a matter is brought before the board regarding a company where an Officer or Trustee has a conflict, the Officer or Trustee would be asked to recuse him/herself.”

“Periodically, a salary survey is conducted to include compensation of the top management officials at similarly sized non-profit organizations in the same georgraphic locale. This survey is provided to the executive leadership of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. In addition, independent non-profit salary surveys are reviewed by Board leadership. This includes the Board Chairman and Vice Chairman. These individuals review the performance of the Executive Director over the past year considering progress toward accomplishment of individual and organizational goals, the financial strength of the organization and the salary survey provided. These considerations result in new goals for the upcoming year and decision on compensation. The process was documented.”
