“The organization's conflict of interest policy applies to any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with board-delegated powers. Each covered member annually signs a statement affirming that they have received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands that the organization is a charitable organization that must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of its exempt purposes. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, a covered person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors or committee members considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. The interested person will leave the meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the remaining board or committee members. If appropriate, the board chair will appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under the circumstances that would give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interest of the organization. The minutes of the board of directors and all committees with board-delegated powers record all proceedings resulting from potential or actual conflicts of interest including alternative arrangements explored.”

Form 990 - a third party reviewed a sample of 990's from public radio stations across the united states. The compensation report was presented to the board of directors by the third party human resources business consultant and an in-depth discussion occurred where all data was reviewed and the president was questioned extensively about both her role as it related to meeting the ongoing and growing needs of ktpp. The board then met separately and decided compensation for the president taking into consideration the discussion and the report provided by the third party.”
