“New board members sign a document acknowledging the review and understanding and adherence to our conflict of interest policy. Additionally, the president and executive director when preparing board agendas consider if there are any potential conflicts of interest that may arise.”

“The executive committee of the board of directors of the senior center, inc. Is charged with the responsibility of making recommendation regarding the salary of the executive director. In fulfilling this responsibility, the committee considers a number of related factors, including the following: evaluation of quality of performance. The committee, consisting entirely of independent individuals, conducts an informal evaluation of the executive director's performance as needed, and a formal evaluation, which has been developed by the executive committee, in january of each year. In preparation for the formal evaluation, the director gives the committee a written report of his accomplishments, his sense of his strong points, and identifies any area(s) where he feels improvement is needed. In addition to the committee's review of performance, each member of the board of directors completes an anonymous evaluation of the executive director, which is tabulated by the chair of the executive committee. The chair of the committee and the president of the board of directors, if different, meet with the executive director for a formal evaluation. The findings of the evaluation are shared with the board which then confirms or adjusts the salary increase. To arrive at fair compensation, the committee reviews periodically the salary ranges of nonprofit organizations in the area including use of independent salary surveys, compares where we are on the scale, and then recommends to the board any compensation adjustment. It is the center's belief that fair and just compensation is in the best interest of the center as a retention and recruitment strategy. In determining the salary for the current executive director, much consideration is given to his vision for the future of the center, his ability to translate that vision into long-range planning and a track record of leadership qualities needed to carry out and sustain the vision. Minutes of committee meetings are kept to ensure contemporaneous substantiation is documented.”

“Currently the organization does not have any employees who meet the definition of a key employee and no officers, other than the executive director, receive compensation. If this changes, the same process as that used for determining the compensation of the executive director will be used.”
