“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers. An interested person must disclose the existence of a potential conflict of interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members decide if a conflict of interest exists. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. All proceedings are documented in the meeting minutes or as otherwise appropriate.”

The executive director brought the data to the board members to discuss areas where increases were necessary, and a general increase for other employees.”
