“All trustees, officers and key employees of analytic services inc. Have executed a nondisclosure and conflict of interest agreement. Trustees and officers and key employees share a special responsibility to uphold the corporation's longstanding and well-earned reputation for impartiality, objectivity and integrity. Trustees, officers and key employees conduct their affairs to avoid any actual or apparent conflict of interest, and disclose all relevant affiliations or financial interests that may be related to any matter being considered or decided. Trustees, officers and key employees will promptly abstain from participating in any discussion or action that they know may have a significant financial affect on their personal affiliations or financial interests, or the affiliations and financial interests of a spouse or minor children. If the trustee, officer, or key employee discloses a potential conflict of interest, the board may determine by a majority vote that disclosure is sufficient and it is in the best interests of the corporation and its clients that the trustee, officer or key employee continue to participate in the matter. Consistent with the agreements referenced above, each trustee, officer and key employee will file annually with general counsel a statement of affiliations, and will file an amended statement within thirty days of any material addition to his or her affiliations (deletions can be filed immediately or held until the next annual filing). At the annual meeting of the board of trustees each board member is provided with their prior year's statement of affiliations (soa). A separate soa is required to be disclosed annually by each trustee, officer, and key employee. Each board member will update and complete their soa and identify any potential conflict of interest that may arise from their individual affiliations. New trustees complete a soa immediately upon their appointment to the board. In addition to the disclosures required above, any trustee, officer or key employee who becomes aware that a pending decision or action under their authority or influence may materially affect any other personal affiliation or financial interest will promptly notify the ceo or chairman and the corporate counsel, and will abstain from any discussion or action on that matter, unless the board determines by a majority vote that the trustee or officer or key employee should continue to participate in the matter.”

“In determining officers and key employees' compensation as set forth above, the board takes (but with key employees, usually the executive committee) into consideration factors such as the following: available survey data relating to compensation in somewhat comparable positions (including among other things information available from form 990 filings); the salary histories of the individuals being considered and the assessment of their performance in the light of their respective responsibilities; the knowledge which members of the board possess concerning salary levels elsewhere; the financial position of the corporation; and the extensive review which the executive committee has made of these matters. All salary offers greater than $200,000 are reviewed by the executive committee.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request, for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”
