Good Shepherd Lutheran Home

“The nine area evangelical lutheran churches are members of the lutheran home.”

“The eleven evangelical lutheran churches nominate and elect members of the governing body at the annual meeting. Each church sends two representatives to the annual meeting to vote on behalf of their congregation. At the annual meeting but prior to voting, each member representative is allowed to nominate new candidates for the governing body to be put on the ballot.”

“The organization does not have any committees that have authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“Prior to being filed with the irs, a copy of form 990 and related schedules are reviewed by the board president or acting director and the cfo, including a confirmation of the accuracy of every answer and oversight of the appropriate documentation. Upon completion of the review, the forms are reviewed and voted on at a board meeting prior to submittal to the irs. The elected officers will sign the forms where needed.”

“If anyone reasonably believes that a policy, practice or activity of good shepherd lutheran services is in violation of law, a written complaint must be filed by the person to their manager, up to and including the administrator or a board member of good shepherd lutheran services.”

“The process for determining the administrator compensation is reviewed annually by the governing body. Also, the board will vote on whether to approve the minnesota cost of living adjustment. In the case minnesota does recommend a cost of living adjustment, the governing body will vote on whether to approve the cost of living adjustment for all employees of the home.”

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are all made available to the public in the administrative office and are available upon request.”
