“Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement Annually all directors and officers complete and sign a statement that provides information regarding their interests and those of their family members that could give rise to conflicts.

Any person with a conflict is prohibited from participating in the governing body's deliberations and decisions in the transaction.”

“Process for Determining Compensation NHS is a partner and affiliate of MCFI, which assists in managing the organization. These organizations periodically hire an independent consulting firm to perform a study of the compensation of the chief executive officer and certain other employees based on their job descriptions. The consulting firm conducts market research and determines a fair compensation range for each individual based on a competitive peer group. In between these periodic independent studies, the human resource director determines appropriate compensation ranges for the chief executive officer and certain other employees by reviewing the Form 990 of similar organizations and other market data. As new compensation reports are issued, the compensation ranges for these individuals are presented to, discussed, and approved by the executive committee of the governing body.”

“How Documents are Made Available to the Public The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. All requests for documents are reviewed to determine if any confidentiality concerns exist. The requested documents are provided once all such concerns have been addressed.”
