“To monitor and enforce compliance with the conflict of interest policy, the organization requires all officers, directors, and individuals with substantial influence over the organization to complete an annual statement disclosing to the board any business, contractual or financial relationships the person has with other corporations. In addition, said persons have an ongoing obligation to disclose to the board any financial interest, direct or indirect, that the person would gain from any particular transaction, contract, or policy under consideration by the organization.

“The compensation committee will establish acceptable compensation packages after reviewing at least one of the following: 1) information about compensation paid by similarly situated tax-exempt organizations for similar services; 2) current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms; or 3) actual written offers from similarly situated organizations. Documentation of the compensation deliberation and decision is kept on file.”
