Association for Prevention Teaching and Research Inc

“The Association has an Executive Committee consisting of the officers of the Association and one member of the Board of Directors who is elected by the Board annually for a one (1) year term. The Executive Committee shall carry out the responsibilities of the Board between Board meetings.”

“The Association has members. Membership is open to faculty, students, and residents from all health professions, as well as their institutions.”

“All members vote for three governing board members each year. They also elect a new president every other year.”

“Any decisions such as changes to the by-laws are subject to approval by the members; the governing board recommends such changes from time to time.”

“The Executive Director and the outsourced accountant review the 990 in draft before it is finalized. When it is considered final, the 990 will be sent electronically to each voting board member for review.”

“Board members must submit annual disclosure statements. Employees must discuss with the Executive Director any activities that might give rise to a conflict of interest.”

“APTR subscribes to compensation surveys which the Executive Committee uses to determine the Executive Director's salary. The Executive Director uses these same compensation surveys when deciding staff salaries, comparing comparable positions, experience, etc. In recent years, the only increases have been cost-of-living adjustments.”

“The Association's Federal Form 990 is available to the public upon request. APTR does not make its conflict of interest policy, or financial statements available to the public.”
