“A completed conflict of interest questionnaire is collected form each board member and staff annually. Additionally, when conflicts arise disclosures are made to the chairman of the board. The chairman discloses to the board of directors all conflicts under the policy. The board of directors evaluates the disclosures to determine whether they involve actual conflicts of interest and may attempt to develop alternatives to remove the conflict from the situation.”

“The executive director receives feedback on an annual basis from all members of the board of directors. A formal evaluation is conducted by the chairperson of the board in collaboration with members of the executive committee. Knowledge of the local market based on board seats on other similar organizations and form 990, as well as salaries paid to incumbents in like positions across the nation are utilized in determining compensation. The executive committee approves the evaluation and accompanying salary adjustments.”

“Governing documents, the conflict of interest policy and the financial statements can be obtained by contacting the organization by phone or email. Additionally, the website directs people with questions to contact management, staff and staff support for the board of directors. One of the guiding principles of the washington state health alliance is transparency to improve the delivery of healthcare, and we strive to translate this same transparency into our business operations.”
