Long-Term Quality Alliance

“LTQA's members are primarily organizations that represent various stakeholder groups focused on long-term services and supports (LTSS) as consumers, advocates, service providers, or payers.”

“Members vote at the Annual Meeting to elect members to the Board of Directors. The Board approves a slate of candidates and the members may nominate additional candidates. Board members are elected by a majority of the members present at the Annual Meeting (each member organization having one vote).”

“The Board delegates various tasks to the Executive Committee (the officers plus one at-large Board member elected by the Board) and the Governance Committee (whose tasks include recommending nominations for Board members to be approved by the Board as a slate and voted on by the full membership at the Annual Meeting). In addition, the Board delegated responsibility to an ad-hoc Search Committee for a search process to identify and recommend a candidate for Executive Director. These Committees do not keep written minutes, but their recommendations are documented in the minutes of the Board of Directors.”

“The completed Form 990 is circulated to the Board of Directors. Board members are allowed time to review the Form and raise any concerns in advance of submission.”

“The Governance Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the terms of employment and compensation for the Executive Director and recommends as part of a written employment contract, for Board review and decision, the Executive Director's compensation. Other officers of the organization are not compensated. The Executive Director determines the compensation for other employees of the organization.”

“Copies are retained at the organization's offices and are provided to any person upon request.”
