“The conflict of interest policy covers all members of the Board of Directors and all employees with significant decision-making authority. These covered persons are required to complete and update annually a Conflict of Interest Disclosure statement, and are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest as soon as they are identified. Disclosures are made to the Board Chair. The Board Chair will review any conflict of interest disclosures and determine if an actual conflict exists and prescribe a course of action to minimize the effect of the conflict of interest. If an actual conflict exists, the individuals with conflicts are excused from the room when matters related to the conflict are discussed and decided upon.”

“The Executive Director's compensation package is reviewed in October or November each year in preparation for the annual budget. The Executive Committee of the board reviews the study published by the NC Center for Nonprofits for organizations with our budget size, staff size, and field of work.

The committee documents and sends the amount determined to the Executive Director, who incorporates it into the budget for the Finance Committee to review prior to review by the full board.”

Additionally, we regularly met virtually with community organizations and worked together to meet significant needs that one organization alone could not address. 107 referrals were sent to other organizations with which we coordinate for services we do not provide.”
