Manitou Council Inc.

“The 990 is presented and reviewed by the board members at the board of directors meeting held in march of each year.”

“The board of directors, key employees and all other paid employees of the council are required to review and sign a conflict of interest statement (employed staff - signed at employment and when amended thereafter; board members - annually on first of may after the april annual council meeting). At the review and signing, any potential conflicts are addressed and policies enforced immediately.”

“Compensation and performance of the council's ceo are reviewed annually (usually in january) during the organizational review. At the board meeting in january, a volunteer committee of three or four members is formed to conduct the annual organizational review. The ceo's merit increase is based on the committee's review of the previous year's goals and plan of work and the subsequent year-end management report indicating whether or not goals were met and plans carried out. Based on schedules, pay grades, salary ranges set forth by the national organization (gsusa) in their resource "administering sound compensation programs in girl scouting", the committee has guidelines to follow in determining compensation and merit increases for the council's ceo. All employed staff members of girl scouts of manitou council are reviewed annually for performance and goal setting by the staff member's supervisor. Initial compensation and salary ranges are determined by the council finance committee based on application of the hay job evaluation method and review of external salary trends for comparable positions locally, regionally, and nationally. Merit increases are based on a sliding scale depending on level of performance in the previous year's set goals (ie. Did not meet expectations, met expectations, exceeded expectations). The supervisor's decision is discussed with and ultimately approved by the ceo.”

“No documents available to the public.”

“The finance committee assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit and is responsible for selecting the independent auditor. The process has not changed from prior year.”
