“The draft form 990 was prepared by the independent 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. The board members reviewed the forms and statements and forwarded any questions through the finance committee to the ceo. After the finance committee members were satisfied with the responses, they then responded to the board. Once this process was completed, the form 990 was filed with the irs.”

“Farmworker justice regularly and consistently monitors and enforces its conflict of interest policy by requiring each board member to complete an annual statement and employees to sign a statement upon hiring. 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 interest arises, the conflicted board member recuses him/herself from discussion and resolution of the issue by the board.”

“Farmworker justice's process for determining the ceo's compensation includes: 1) annually, the board writes a performance evaluation for the ceo. 2) the vice chair meets with the board and executive committee to compile the performance evaluations. 2) the board and executive committee discuss comparable information from unrelated organizations where they and other board members service. 4) the board and executive committee makes salary recommendations to the full board who vote on any salary increase. Only board members who are independent of the officer(s) may participate in determining the ceo's and other officers' compensation. 5) the board and executive committee keeps minutes ot document the entire evaluation, deliberation, and decision process. The last compensation review took place in 2023.”

“Farmworker justice's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public upon request.”
