“The form 990 was reviewed by both aapd's accountant and independent auditor. In addition, the board of directors reviewed the form 990 prior to filing.”

“If a board member has an interest in a proposed transaction between aapd and an organization in the form of personal financial interest or professional advancement by means of the transaction, or holds a position as trustee, director, officer in, employee of, or consultant to an organization, he or she must make full disclosure of such interest before any discussion or negotiation of such transaction. Regardless of whether the board member participates in the transaction or negotiation, disclosure must be made. Any board member who is aware of a personal conflict of interest with respect to any matter coming before the board may participate in discussion after disclosure, but may not vote in connection with the matter. To implement this policy, board members of aapd submit annual reports, and, if not previously disclosed, will make disclosure before any relelvant board action as they become aware of the conflict. The reports are reviewed by the excecutive committee, which will attempt to resolve any actual or potential conflicts and, in the absence of resolution, refer the matter to the board of directors. All new board members receive a copy of the conflict of interest policy and every board member must complete conflict of interest policy form annually. The conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually by the board of directors of aapd.”

“Aapd has a compensation process for all full-time and part-time positions, this includes the ceo and all other key employees. Conducting an annual performance evaluation and using data (e.g. Internet, asae, professionals for non profit d.c. Salary survey and discussions with executive directors/ceo's of "sister-organizations") to compare compensation of similarly qualified persons, in functionally comparable positions and in similarly situated organizations all contribute to determining the level of compensation. The compensation is initially discussed with aapd's finance committee during the annual budget process; moves on to aapd's executive committee for discussion and approval; and gets final review and approval from the board of directors of aapd at the year-end board of directors meeting.”

“The 990 is available to the public upon request, and also on the aapd website. If upon request, the request can be made via telephone, email, mail or in person.”

“All governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available to the public upon request. The request can be made via telephone, email, mail or in person.”
