“The draft form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by senior management. The finance committee and the full board received a copy of the draft 990 and the audited financial statements.

By signing this form, the individual affirms that he/she has no conflicts of interest with the organization or will disclose any such situations that may arise. If a conflict of interest arises, the conflicted board member recuses him/herself from discussion and resolution of the issue by the board.”

“The organization's process for determining the president's compensation includes: 1) annually, the board writes a performance evaluation for the president. 2) the vice chair meets with the board and executive committee to compile the performance evaluations. 3) the board and executive committee discusses comparable information from unrelated organizations where they and other board members serve. 4) the board and executive committee makes salary recommendations to the full board who vote on any salary increases. Only board members who are independent of the officers may participate in determining the president's and other officers' compensation. 5) the board and executive committee keeps minutes to document the entire evaluation, deliberation, and decision process. The last compensation review took place in november 2021.”
