“The organization requires all officers and board members to annually complete and sign a conflict of interest questionnaire. The Treasurer is responsible for reviewing the signed statements and ensuring that interested persons are in compliance with the conflict of interest policy. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.”

“FRC's CFO makes reference to market survey data, and compares it to the President's current compensation. FRC's CFO then submits an analysis to FRC's Governance Committee for its review and consideration. The Governance Committee reviews, discusses and recommends a compensation level to FRC's Board (excluding the President). After further discussion, FRC's independent Board members approve the President's compensation, and the process is documented in FRC's Board minutes.”

“The organization makes these documents available in accordance with applicable law.”
