“All directors, officers and key employees will disclose a conflict of interest on the "conflict of interest form" in the following situations and in other circumstances which he/she thinks might cause a conflict between his/her personal interests and his/her fiduciary duty: financial interests, inside information, conflicting interest other than financial, gifts and favors.

“The filing organization did not compensate any officers, directors or key employees. The compensation process used by the parent organization, lutheran senior services, is as follows: the board of directors established a separate compensation committee charged with performing an annual performance review of the ceo and reviewing the ceo's compensation package. The compensation committee engaged a third-party global human capital consulting firm to: (1) develop an annual ceo performance review process, including a new evaluation form, and (2) develop a compensation package based on its knowledge of similarly sized non-profit organizations in order to ensure that the compensation paid to the ceo is reasonable. All members of the board complete an annual evaluation, which the compensation committee summarizes and reviews. The compensation committee then makes a recommendation to the full board of directors for any compensation adjustments.”

“Although not a requirement, the organization provides photocopies of its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements, and other documents to all who request one or more of these items.”

“Lutheran senior services is a large complex organization that is comprised of 15 separate legal entities, some of which file their own tax returns. The others are disregarded entities included in the lutheran senior services tax return. Due to the requirements for completing these 990's (which are filed by 11 of the 15 lss entities), some of the information contained within the form, such as revenue and expenses, is related only to that particular entity. However, some of the information, such as executive compensation, relates to the entire organization. To help make this information more meaningful, the following paragraph provides a summary of the overall operations of lss. Lutheran senior services is a not for profit organization owned by 104 lutheran churches and was initially founded in 1858. Lutheran senior services operates twelve senior living communities serving over 3,000 older adults, nine affordable housing communities serving over 570 older adults and a variety of in home services programs serving over 5,000 older adults. In 2024, lss had total operating income of approximately $295,000,000, provided approximately 24,000,000 in benevolent care, had nearly 39,496 volunteer hours and employed 20 chaplains.”
