“The organization has an established conflict of interest policy which is shared with all employees, board and policy council members at the time of their employment and/or initiation to the board or council. Handbooks are presented to each employee, board and council member with the policies essential to each of them. Each year the policy is re-presented to employees, board and council members at the annual all-staff meetings and during a meeting of the board and councils. Board members are required to sign an affidavit each year stating to their knowledge they have not and are not currently participating in any activities that would be considered a conflict of interest according to the policy. In regard to votes by the board or council, members are required to acknowledge any perceived conflicts of interest they may have and are required to abstain from voting on the issue during the process of developing contractual relations with a vendor. Any acknowledgment of a connection between the vendor and employees and/or board or council members is identified and reviewed to determine if a conflict of interest exists and a resolution of the situation is completed as needed to dispel the conflict. Anyone found to be breaking the policy is dealt with according to the organization's disciplinary policies.”

“When hiring or reviewing compensation, the organization uses the nebraska workforce development wage analysis for the region to determine whether compensation is comparable to other similar sized organizations.
