“All volunteers in a position of authority are covered under our policy. We provide annual training on this topic during our board orientation and review. The foundation of our policy is disclosure, so that the full trust can determine if a conflict exists. If the trust determined that a conflict did exist then that person would be asked to excuse him/herself from the decision making process.”

“The organization does not have employees, but instead is managed by a professional management firm. However, the governing body is responsible for negotiating and entering into the management contract that covers compensation. This contract was renewed in 2013 for a 5 year term. The executive committee and the organization's legal counsel reviewed and negotiated the contract which included a review of comparable services. The executive committee made recommendation to the full board for their approval. The new contract was approved by the full board in august 2013.”
