The final determination of whether a particular item represents a conflict is made by the board as a whole.”

“The establishment of salary and benefits for the Association's Executive Director is reviewed and developed annually by the three executive officers of the Association. The organization's President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer meet in February every year with the Executive Director. At this meeting, salary and benefit data as well as other information gatherered by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is reviewed. Annually, the NFHS surveys all 51 state association executive directors, to gather data on salary and benefits information as well as other financial and operational data common to state associations. The three person executive committee develops a salary recommendation and benefit package for consideration by the full Board at its' annual March meeting. Each year, the entire membership of the Executive Board votes on the annual compensation and benefit package for the organziation's Executive Director. That action last occurred in April 2019.”
