“At least on an annual basis, the organizations require that a conflict of interest statement be signed, with all potential conflicts listed and discussed. Each board member completes this form, and all potential conflicts are discussed during a board meeting. Board members decide the appropriate course of action for each conflict. Some conflicts are immaterial enough to warrant no follow-up, others are resolved by not allowing the member with a conflict to vote on decisions related to the conflict.”

“The organization utilizes Leading Age data for all employee compensation (comparable data). The executive committee of the board of directors approves the executive director compensation. The full board of directors approves the wage range for employees. The executive director has discretion to determine and approve other officers and key employee compensation through the board-approved wage range. These decisions are made by those without conflict of interest and documentation is kept for all decisions made.”

“The organization believes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are the property of the organization and does not make them available to the public.”
