Kansas Association of Community Action Programs Inc

“Kacap is a voluntary membership association comprised of the kansas community services block grant (csbg) eligible entities. According to the by-laws, each major agency has the option of two (2) individual members serving on kacap's board of directors - the executive director/ceo and another senior management staff person appointed by the agencys executive director/ceo.”

“Each member agency has one of two staff persons serving on kacap's board of directors. The member agency's executive director/ceo is an automatic appointment and he or she can designate who (if anyone) will serve as the second kacap board member. The second person assigned is generally an assistant director, program director, or other senior management staff member.”

“A draft of the federal form 990 is shared electronically with each kacap board member prior to submission.”

“Each board member is provided with kacap's conflict of interest policy at the first board meeting of the year. The kacap board president and executive director work together to monitor board member performance and compliance with all kacap policies and procedures.”

“Salaries for staff were initially established by the governing board of directors and the agency executive director when each position is created and the board establisted the executive director's salary. The process included an extensive review of comparative salary information for similar positions in kansas and the midwest. Each year, during the annual budget development process, agency staff works with the board treasurer and finance committee to review employee salaries, employee performance, the current cost of living values, and available resources are considered in this process. Recommendation are then provided to the full board of directors for discussion, debate, and approval.”
