“The organization annually sends out a conflicts of interest policy to its officers, directors and key employees and requests a signed disclosure form from each covered individual. Any disclosed conflict is reviewed by the general counsel. If a conflict does exist on a specific issue, meeting minutes reflect the board action taken to clear the conflict, either by having the affected board member, officer or key employee recuse themselves from the discussion or vote or remove themselves from all deliberations. This policy also applies to employees of the organization. All director-level and finance department staff certify annually they have reviewed the policy and have no potential conflicts to report. If a conflict is reported, it is reviewed by general counsel who resolves the conflict.”

“Within the fiscal year, the president's compensation was reviewed by a committee of independent directors and an external compensation consultant.

Compensation for senior level staff is analyzed periodically by an independent consultant and reviewed with a committee of the board. Minutes are kept of such meetings. The last compensation review for the top management official took place in march 2015.”
