“The policy is applicable to all directors and employees of the organization. All potential conflicts are reviewed and determined at the president's level. Anyone having a real or perceived conflict of interest must prepare and deliver a letter to the president stating the facts surrounding the conflict. The president must then review such letter and meet with the person and determine what steps are necessary to avoid any actions that would unduly hurt the organization. Each person who is deemed to have a conflict is to refrain from participating in decisions on such matters.”

“The president/ceo's compensation is reviewed and proposed by the board executive committee, which consists of the non-compensated board members appointed by the board.

The chairman of the executive committee then communicates the decision to the finance executive of the organization and the finance executive initiates payment to the president/ceo. This process was last completed 3/1/14 for the current president/ceo, thomas o'neill.”
