MID Minnesota Builders Association

“The organization is organized as a corporation with two membership categories; associate membership and builder membership.”

“Voting rights are equal for all members, and each membership is allowed one vote. Each member has the power to nominate board members for election onto the governing body through an annual nomination and election process.”

“The form 990 is presented for review by the executive director and the signing officer of the organization before filing with the irs. A copy of the 990 is also made available to the governing body for inspection, review, and comment before filing.”

“Members are required to make known at the beginning of the board meeting or prior to any discussion on the related situation, any situation in which they have direct involvement with, or personal or financial interest in. The remaining board of directors will then determine on a case by case basis, whether there is a sufficient conflict of interest to warrant exclusion from voting, or discussion on any matters at the meetings of the board of directors. Currently, annual conflict of interest disclosure is not actively requested, monitored or enforced by the organization. It is the members responsibility to disclose such type situations.”

“Annually, each board member completes a review of the executive director and submits it to the personnel committee, which is independent of the executive director. The personnel committee then conducts a review of the executive director. The personnel committee uses comparable salary and benefits data in their performance review and setting executive director's future salary. All steps conducted by the personnel committee are documented. The last time the executive director's salary was reviewed was december 2014.”

“The governing documents and financial statements are not made available to the public.”
