Global Health Council

“Global health council uses global impact for management services, including staffing, accounting, and management services. The fees paid to global impact during 2023 have been disclosed on part ix, line 11a.”

“The organization has corporate members, individual members, and organizational members that are representative of many different sectors including for profit, not for profit, educational, and institutional.”

“Organizational members vote on the board of director appointments that come due yearly.”

“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by senior management and the chair of the audit committee. The full board received a copy of form 990 before being filed with the internal revenue service.”

“Global health council's current conflict of interest policy is as follows: an actual or potential conflict of interest occurs when a board member, contractor, or consultant is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for that individual or for a relative as a result of global health council's business dealings. A relative is any person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the individual is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage. Individuals have an obligation to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit actual or potential conflicts of interest. Individuals' outside relationships and activities could be a potential conflict of interest. Individuals' participation in a leadership role with another organization, such as service on a board of directors, must be reported on the conflict of interst form. Additionally, individuals must report on this form any other employment, whether self-employment or with another employer. All new board members and consultants must complete and sign this conflict of interest form. All individuals will complete a new conflict of interest form annually at the beginning of each fiscal year. If during the year a change of circumstances occurs creating an actual or potential conflict of interest, individuals must notify global heath council by completing a new conflict of interst form. The interested person with the potential conflict must retire from the meeting and not participate in final discussion and voting on the existence of the conflict. If a conflict is found to exist, the interested person may be invited to provide any relevant information that could be of use to the board in making its decision, but retires and does not participate in the final discussion and voting regarding the transaction. The board or committee's decision will be based on consideration of whether the transaction: - is in the council's best interest and for its own benefit; - is fair and reasonable to the council; and - is the most advantageous transation or arrangement the council can obtain with reasonable efforts under the circumstances.”

“The board of directors uses an outside firm to prepare a compensation study for the executive director, bi-annually. This process includes a review and approval by independent persons, comparability data and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision. The last review was done in july 2021.”

“The organization has no additional officers or key employees.”

“The organization publishes the financial statements on its website, and makes the governing documents and conflict of interest policy available upon request.”

“As indicated in part vi, line 2a, the organization does not have any employees. The executive director is an employee of the management company, global impact, and the compensation reported on part vii represents the compensation received as executive director of global health council.”

“Global health council is the leading membership organization supporting and connecting advocates, implementers, and stakeholders around global health priorities worldwide. The global health council, inc. (the "council"ghc") was incorporated in 1972 as a non-profit organization. The council envisions a world where health for all is ensured through equitable, inclusive, and sustainable investment, policies, and services and is dedicated to improving health globally through increased investment, robust policies, and the power of the collective voice. The council takes a "big tent" approach to membership encompassing the widest representation of the global health community as possible and designs its services to respond to the evolving needs of our constituents. The council supports its membership through three primary functions: (1) convening: networking, partnership and coordination amongst members and between members and external stakeholders; (2) communicating: providing a learning and sharing hub for global health research and best practices, thought leadership and dialogue; and (3) constituency-building: uniting interested parties in dialogue, advocacy, and policy development around critical global health issues.”
