“Each director of the board reads, signs and submits the conflict of interest statement annually. If a conflict of interest should arise, it is the individual's duty to disclose it to the board of directors. The interested person will withdraw from any further involvement in that issue and may not participate in the discussion, study, or consideration of the issue, matter or transaction, or the final decision. An individual who is uncertain as to whether he or she may have a conflict of interest should ask the executive director for an opinion. The executive director will issue a written opinion. The executive director will advise the president of the board of each and every opinion issued. The minutes of the meeting at which the disclosure of any conflict of interest is made will reflect that the disclosure was made and whether the person with the conflict withdrew, after making full disclosure of the matter in question and the conflict, and was not present for the final discussion of the matter and any vote thereon.”

The executive director reviews the other employees and based on performance he/she presents a recommendation to the board for approval. The independent compensation study commissioned in 2012 and referenced in question 15a is factored into all staff compensation levels.”
