Energy Bar Association

“The energy bar association is an association with members who have the right to participate in the organization's governance by electing members of the governing body (i.e., the board of directors) at the association's annual meeting.”

“Under article v of the by-laws, the officers and directors of the energy bar association are elected by voting members at the annual meeting.”

“A draft of the completed form 990 was reviewed by the board of director's finance committee and was made available to the full board of directors for review.”

“Disclosure statements completed by employees and members of the board of directors are reviewed by the president so that action can be taken if necessary. Disclosure statements are retained in the administrative offices of the board of directors.”

“In determining the annual salary of the executive director and other energy bar association employees, the board of directors refers to publicly available salary data for employees in comparable positions at other similar organizations, particularly those in the washington d.c. Metropolitan area. The board of directors may consider the most recently published data compiled annually by the american society of association executives, the social security cost of living adjustment percentage, and the amount by which the office of personnel management increases salaries for federal employees. Other relevant salary benchmarks may be considered by the eba board of directors in its discretion.”

“The conflict of interest policy and annual report containing financial information are posted on the energy bar association's website. Governing documents are contained in the association's membership directory and are available upon request.”

“No change in process from the prior year.”
