Search Institute

“Executive committee consists of the board co-chairs, vice-chair, immediate past chair, secretary-treasurer, and the ceo of search institute. The executive committee performs investigative and information gathering projects on behalf of the board of directors as a whole, and reports its findings and makes recommendations back to the board. The executive committee also performs board administrative tasks on behalf of the board as a whole. The executive committee has limited decision making authority apart from the board as a whole.”

“Each individual board member is provided with a draft copy of the completed form 990 prior to filing. Members have sufficient time to complete their individual review and comment before the form is presented to the whole board for approval. The final form is presented for discussion and approval at a regular board meeting. Form 990 is filed after board approval.”

“Each member of the board of directors must annually complete a conflict of interest disclosure form. Completed forms are initially reviewed by the hr manager and returned to the executive committee to determine if any conflict of interest exists, and formulate any recommended action or follow-up. Apparent conflicts are reported to the full board with the executive committee recommendations. The board reviews, discusses and may adopt a resolution or take other action to eliminate a real or potential conflict. Conflicts of interest are decided or resolved by majority vote at a regular board meeting with a quorum, not including the conflicted member, present. The conflicted member may be present for discussion but not advocate for the conflict and must leave for the vote. The process is documented in the meeting minutes of the board. Files of all forms and documents related to conflicts of interest are maintained by search institute's human resources manager.”
