“The 990 was not reviewed by the entire governing body. The executive director , who serves as secretary of the board of directors did review it.”

“Members of the board of directors sign conflict of interest statements that are updated yearly. Each year, the incoming chair and chair elect of the board attends a training called exceptional boards held by the american society of association executives (asae). Part of the training is on conflict of interest disclosure and monitoring. This training equips these officers with the understanding of the need to avoid any taint of conflict of interest at the board level. It creates a culture in which transparency is required and because these board members' positions at their schools are similar, policing each other as to how an individual's vote might financially or otherwise benefit the individual is easy for them to determine and bring to light.”

“Compensation for the executive director is established using comparability data from the association compensation and benefits study obtained from the american society of association executives (asae). The most current publication of the data was recently acquired. Information from that publication was also compared to a number of internet resources, however those are undocumented in our records. At the end of each fiscal year the executive directore is evaluated by the board of directors based on the written expectations he is given at the beginning of the fiscal year. This, along with the compensation data gathered from asae, is the basis for increases, if any, in compensation. In addition, salaries for all key employees are based on research from the same source (asae publication) and compared to local wage data obtained from internet research.”
