“A draft of the 2020 form 990 was presented to the full board of directors along with the annual audit at the january, 2021 annual meeting. We will follow the same procedure for the 2021 form 990.”

“Board members receive and sign a new copy of the conflict of interest statement each year at the board's annual meeting in january. Members are reminded that they have a responsibility to disclose to the board (and any committee on which they serve) the material facts of any proposed action or transaction of the network in which such director has any conflicts, that they should do so prior to the consideration of such items. Board members who have declared a conflict of interest do not participate in the deliberation or decision regarding the matter under consideration. All board members and officers are obligated to notify the board if they believe that an individual director or officer has failed to disclose a conflict of interest.”

“The executive director's annual review is performed at the july board meeting by the board of directors. The review includes a discussion of the e.d. Salary, based on the organization-wide salary structure, the most current mn council of nonprofits salary survey results for similar sized nonprofits, and the budget climate for the coming year. General performance recommendations are captured in the board minutes, and the salary increase forms are kept in the personnel files of the executive director. With support from a consultant, the network created a salary ranking methodology and a compensation structure form to assess each position in the organization. Once the total points were established, the range for each position was determined. In 2012-13, the agency contracted with an hr consultant to update these ranges, based on a combination of the minnesota council of nonprofits salary survey, a national nonprofit survey, and a survey by child care aware of america. In 2013, the work of an independent consultant was also utilized. The consultant also proposed adjustments to employees within the ranges based on length of service and track record in the current position.”

“Annual audit/financial statements and 990 are posted on our website. Conflict of interest policy is available upon request.”
