“All board trustees and officers for the brady center are covered by the policy. The policy notes that an actual or potential conflict may "arise when any board member, officer or related party is involved in an activity which could adversely affect his or her judgment with respect to the business of the organization, or otherwise diminish the interests of the organization." the policy further defines "related party" as "members of the immediate family or spouse's immediate family, which includes spouse, parent, child or grandchild or person sharing the same home." the governance committee makes an initial determination of whether an actual or potential conflict exists and, if so, whether recusal, suspension, removal, or another remedy is appropriate. The decisions of the governance committee are reviewed by the full board, which may accept, reject, or modify the determination and recommended action.”

“The members of the board of trustees are responsible for setting management compensation. Independent non-profit salary benchmark information, and periodically an independent study, is used to ensure management is being compensated consistently with the market for similar organizations. Deliberations and decisions regarding compensation are documented in meeting minutes.”

“These documents are made available upon request without charge for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”

“Across congress, the courts, and communities to fight for common-sense gun laws, hold bad actors accountable, and to educate everyone on the issues so we are all part of the solution. Jim and sarah brady overcame impossible odds to pass the bipartisan brady law in 1993. But there's more work to be done. We know that ending america's gun violence epidemic means accepting these truths: 1) gun ownership demands responsibility; 2) laws in existence must be upheld by those empowered to do that job; 3) gun violence is public health crisis; and 4) centering racial justice in gun violence prevention is essential to our mission. Only when americans unite and work together will gun violence be solved. A problem with so many causes at its roots must be addressed from all angles - and this in turn drives how brady's programs are created and scaled. This focus on education and implementation ensures that every community can be safe, not only from mass shootings but also from the daily gun violence that plagues so many urban communities. Additionally, many members of brady are survivors of gun violence, bringing a unique aspect to our outreach and ability to address the issue from an experiential vantage point.”
