“During the year, a resolution was approved for the Southeast Region to merge with the Arthritis Foundation, Inc. National Office.”

“The Form 990 is prepared by the Director of Finance in collaboration with an external accounting firm. Prior to filing the 2014 Form 990 with the IRS, members of the Budget & Finance Committee of the National Office receive a copy for review during a scheduled meeting. The Budget & Finance Committee then recommends Form 990 to the full Board of the National Office for approval before filing with the Service.”

“At least annually, all employees must sign a Conflict of Interest disclosure form. All volunteer positions such as nominees for Board, Council, Committee and ad hoc task force positions shall complete a conflict of interest disclosure form annually and prior to initial appointment to serve in these various positions. If potential conflicts exist as to Arthritis Foundation Staff, the appropriate management and/or the Human Resources department shall address them.”

“Work performance and salary are reviewed annually by the employee's supervisor in collaboration with the President and/or Board of Directors. Increases, within the salary range, are granted to those whose performance merits an increase. Increases are not automatic. Additional responsibility carried, competence on the job, including attendance, punctuality, ability to meet assigned deadlines, ability to get along with fellow workers, and length of service are among the factors considered in granting increases.”

“The organization makes public the majority of its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements via the National Office's website at www.arthritis.org. All other documents not readily avialible via this website are available upon request.”
