“The executive committee consists of at least three directors designated by the board, typically the chair, chair-elect, and designated committee chairs. The executive committee has the authority of the board in the management and business of the organization in the intervals between meetings of the board; although the executive committee is at all times subject to the control and direction of the board.”

“The organization's finance committee and full board of directors will review the form 990 and pass a motion to accept the form 990 before it is filed.”

“Board members are required to sign an annual statement including relationships that may be potential or actual conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest are determined by the board, sans the conflicted director. Individuals determined to have a conflict of interest will not be allowed to participate in the discussion to determine if a conflict exists except to answer questions, nor be permitted to vote on the transaction. All proceedings related to conflicts of interest are documented in the meeting minutes. Officers of the organization are required to disclose perceived conflicts of interest on the potential conflict of interest disclosure certification form that will be reviewed by the direct supervisor and maintained on file with the human resources leadership team (hrlt). The hrlt will make a determination of the acceptability of the conflict and advise appropriate action for the employee and the employee's supervisor.”

“Comparative market data is compiled prior to hiring the executive director to determine the compensation. Thereafter, the board of directors has engaged outside counsel to complete comparative market analysis bi-annually. The most recent market analysis was completed in 2015 for the executive director, j. Sjordal; the result was reviewed by the executive committee and a salary increase was recommended and approved by the full board. Market analysis is completed before hiring key employees. Thereafter, the organization typically follows the same salary increase process that applies to all staff. The executive director has discretion to approve salary increases that deviate from the norm, but that the budget will support. This process was last undertaken in 2014 for the director of finance, w. Lemieux.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
