“The board and staff complete a conflict of interest form annually. If a conflict of interest arises, any board member failing to make a disclosure is subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal. If the president or a member of the board of directors fails to file a required disclosure, the chairman of the board of directors decides on appropriate action. If the chairman fails to make a required disclosure, the vice chairman decides an appropriate action.”

The last compensation review took place in november 2024.”
