“Board members, robert best and kathryn leckey have a family relationship.”
“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by the cfo. Copies of the form 990 were emailed to each board member for review prior to filing with the irs.”
“Board members and employees review and sign a conflict of interest attestation statement annually. Ief expects all employees to avoid any and all conflicts of interest, to make such disclosures as may be required by ief from time to time, and to review with the president, chief financial officer or their designees any questionable activities that might be construed to be a conflict of interest. The conduct of ief's relationships and transactions with individuals outside the organization, and with other business concerns in a businesslike and ethical manner, is a matter of vital importance. The best interests of ief, not those of the employee or others, must be of the highest consideration. Therefore, the interests of any individual employee cannot be permitted to play a part in any decision relating to the choice of or terms of ief relationships with individuals or business concerns with whom ief may have a business relationship, except when negotiated in an ethical and public, businesslike fashion and with approval of the board of directors. This includes the selection of suppliers, distributors, customers and other individuals or organizations.”
“The board of directors reviews and approves the ceo's salary and benefits every year during the executive session of a board meeting. Initial compensation is set using interaction salary data. The board uses ief's performance over the year to determine what incremental increase will or will not occur and documents the outcome in the board minutes. The board does not review individual staff salaries, but accepts or rejects the salaries recommended as a whole. The last compensation review took place june 2017.”
“Financial statements are filed with most states and are available upon request. Governing documents are on file with the disctrict of colombia and may be obtained, along with the conflict of interest policy, upon request.”
“Ief ceased conducting the sightreach surgical program.”
“The intended uses of ief's endowment funds are to support the latin america programs for sight restoration and to ensure financial stability and enhance future growth for the foundation.”

THE PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1999 TO INCREASE ACCESS AND REDUCE COSTS OF NEW, MODERN OPHTHALMIC EQUIPMENT, INSTRUMENTS AND SUPPLIES FOR EYE CARE PROVIDERS WORLDWIDE, ESPECIALLY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. THIS PIONEERING PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED BEFORE THE INTERNET WAS AVAILABLE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND THERE WERE FEW MANUFACTURERS' REPRESENTATIVES IN COUNTRIES.
