“The organization has seven classes of members who have the right to vote for candidates for the board of directors and decide which investees should be given support from the organization.

“A conflict of interest exists when any matter under consideration by the board of directors involves the potential for a significant or material benefit to a director or any member of his or her immediate family or to any business, financial or professional organization of which the director is an officer, director, member, owner or employee. When a director recognizes a potential conflict of interest he or she must identify the conflict and, after answering any questions posed by other directors, must withdraw from any discussion or voting on the matter. The board of directors may not go forward with a transaction in relation to which a director acknowledges a potential conflict of interest unless the board determines, by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, that the transaction is in the organization's best interest. The board and committee members discuss and sign conflict of interest forms every year. The question is asked at every board meeting regarding a potential conflict of interest. Finally, the executive committee is responsible for a regular review of the policy and, if deemed needed, recommendations to the board regarding the policy and its implementation.”

“Compensation for the executive director is determined by approval of the full board of directors. The process is led by the board chair with support from the executive committee. The executive director is asked to complete a self-assessment for the prior year as well as a workplan and goals for the coming year. The board chair and executive committee provide feedback on the performance of the executive director and the aforementioned documents. Then the board chair reviews the social venture partners network salary & benefits survey and the colorado nonprofit association salary & benefits survey. Based on the executive director's performance and responsibilities, in addition to salary and benefit comparisons for like organizations, the board chair drafts a salary and benefits package which is discussed and approved by the full board of directors. The last approval of the executive director's compensation occurred on october 26, 2017.”
