“West midland family center's (wmfc) conflict of interest policy includes the following covered persons: directors, officers, staff members and volunteers. Covered persons are required to disclose the existence and nature of any conflicts of interest and material facts of such interest to the board of directors. After disclosure, the board will determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If the covered person is a member of the board, he/she is prohibited from attempting to influence the decision of the remaining directors. If the board has cause to believe that a covered person has failed to disclose an actual or potential conflict of interest, they shall inform that person of such belief and give that person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If the board determines that the covered person has in fact failed to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest, appropriate disciplinary and corrective action will be taken. All conflict of interest issues, discussions, proceeding and actions will be documented in the minutes of the board of directors. Each director and officer of the board shall annually sign a "conflict of interest" questionnaire and submit the same to the wmfc president. By signing the policy, each wmfc director and/or officer acknowledges that he or she has read and understands the policy, and has agreed to comply with the policy.”

“Annually, the human resources committee, a sub-committee of the board, completes a performance review of the executive director, reviews comparable wage data, then approves the annual salary for the year. This process is documented in committee minutes. The human resources committee then reports the process and decision to the board of directors at the next meeting of the board. This report is documented in the board of director meeting minutes.”

“These documents are available upon request.”
