“The 990 will be reviewed and approved by the ltw finance committee of the board of directors.”
“Director, officers, and key employees are required to disclose any conflict of interests between them and leading the way/mcmichael as soon as they become aware of it. If there is a disclosed conflict, then that person is excluded from any decisions or discussions related with the conflict of interest either on the board of directors or the management of ltw. Also, the ceo and executive director will determine if the conflict is material in relationship to the best interests of the leading the way and whether the conflict of interest needs to be resolved or terminated.”
“President/ceo - ltw proudly states that our president/ceo (dr. Michael youssef) is also our #1 volunteer and receives no salary or compensation for his services. Other officers and key employees - periodically a salary survey is done by the cfo of the salary positions to review the different levels of employee compensation by leading the way. The survey of these positions is then compared to non profit industry standards in order to ensure that the salaries are fair in comparison to the industry standard. Any material variations of salary to the industry standard from this survey are then considered for salary adjustments to move that position more in line with the non profit industry salary standard.”
