“Annually, the conflict of interest policy is distributed in person at a meeting of the board of directors. At the end of the meeting, staff collect the completed forms. Staff follow up with any board members who were absent at the meeting to ensure that completed forms are received from them. The president & ceo or, where applicable, chair, after receiving information about a possible conflict of interest, takes such actions as necessary, without the substantive involvement of the person who has the possible conflict of interest, to assure that the transaction is completed in the best interest of naf. A written record of any report of possible conflict and of any adjustment made to avoid possible conflicts of interests is kept by the president & ceo or, where applicable, chair. Staff also receive a conflict of interest policy as part of the employee handbook. Upon being hired, they sign a certification, attesting that they have received, read, and understand the policy. The form is also redistributed annually, with signatures obtained each year.”

“The board of directors reviews the performance of the president & ceo annually. Decisions about compensation are guided by the evaluation and a review of compensation data of similar non-profit organizations, which is conducted by the chair. The board chair prepares a confidential summary of the assessment, which is shared with the president & ceo. The president & ceo determines the salaries of the key employees of the organization. The board approves written compensation schedules for employees as part of the annual budget process. These schedules are developed by reviewing compensation data for comparable positions at similar nonprofit organizations.”

“Naf provides a link on its website to both www.charitynavigator.org and www.guidestar.org, where the organization's financial statements can be viewed.

Telephone answering instructions state that requests for these documents are to be forwarded to the appropriate senior administrative and financial staff for response. Similarly, requests that are received via email are forwarded to the appropriate senior administrative and financial staff for response.”

“Clinicians in abortion care (ciac) is a membership group sponsored by naf representing certified midwives (cm), certified nurse-midwives (cnms), nurse practitioners (nps), physician associates (pas), nurses, and students of those professions, working to increase access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and abortion care.”

“During 2024 the organization ceased conducting their canadian program. Canadian program: naf established a canadian program to provide direct services and technical assistance to naf members in canada and to ensure canadian women have access to the abortion care they need. We work to educate government officials and the media about barriers to abortion access and develop strategies and programs to increase women's access to quality abortion care. We also provide continuing medical education in abortion care at naf-sponsored conferences and the meetings of other canadian medical organizations.”
