“Members of the governing board and key employees are required by policy to acknowledge in writing their understanding and compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy. This is done annually with 100% response rate required.”

“The executive committee of the childserve inc. (a related organization) board of directors has the responsibility to oversee the implementation of the executive compensation policy for the three key employees: president/ceo, vice president of administration, and vice president of programs. The executive committee will approve the compensation arrangements for the president/ceo without discussion or voting participation of the president/ceo. The executive committee will document the basis for executive compensation determinations concurrently with approval. The documentation contains the comparability data that was relied on and how the data was obtained. A comprehensive market based study will obtain compensation data for each key employee from similar type agencies and organizations every three years. During the years when the comprehensive market based study is not conducted, market based information such as the cpi or comparable data will be used annually to make adjustments to the midpoint.”
