“Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with board-delegated powers is required to annually sign a statement that affirms they have received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, have read and understand the policy, and have agreed to comply with the policy. Compliance with the conflict of interest policy requires covered individuals to disclose any actual or potential conflicts to the directors and members of committees with board-delegated powers considering proposed transactions or arrangements that have the potential to be considered in conflict. The gala also requires that periodic reviews are conducted to ensure that transactions and arrangements are the result of arm's length bargaining, reflect reasonable payments for goods and services, further the gala's charitable purposes, and do not result in inurement of impermissible private benefit.”

“A review of both the executive director's and producing artistic director's compensation was conducted during may/june of 2013. Reviews are conducted every two years and compensation is determined after research is completed to compare compensation paid to executives of arts organization with similar sized operating budgets and number of staff. The executive committee researches comparative salaries with the aid of a document produced by the theater communications group (tcg), the national umbrella membership organization for all theaters and arts groups across the country. Every year tcg compiles a salary survey and then shares this survey with member organizations. The organization determined that compensation of its executives was average on the national scale. The procedure is the same for determining compensation for other key employees: the organization utilizes the statistics compiled through the national tcg salary survey. Only the top two executives are evaluated by the board. Other staff members are evaluated twice a year by the director of their department, together with the executive director and producing artistic director.”
