“Whenever a new board member is elected and annually thereafter, the board member reads the conflict of interest policy and completes a conflict of interest questionnaire. The questionnaire is used to ensure that the board is aware of any actual, perceived or potential conflicts. In addition, board members are asked to disclose any situations that arise following the annual process. Board members are required to abstain from discussion or vote if they may have an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Chief executive performs the evaluation and recommends compensation to the board or its designated committee, who provides feedback and approval.”

“City of refuge has an executive committee that has general oversight of the organization's human resource plan. Specific duties include yearly evaluation of the chief executive of the organization. A competent salary survey is used to benchmark compensation for the position utilizing an annual salary survey available through the georgia center for nonprofits and/or other reliable sources. The committee meets independent of the chief executive to discuss performance relative to the position description. During these discussions the committee also considers input obtained from other board members, staff, professional advisors, grant recipients and other informed community leaders. Once a consensus is reached regarding performance, a similar discussion is held concerning compensation relative to annual benchmark and established objectives. The committee presents its findings and recommendation in an executive session without the chief executive present, to the full board for review and approval. The committee and/or the board chair then meets with the chief executive to discuss and document strengths, weaknesses and goals for the upcoming year. Compensation for the upcoming year is also discussed and documented.”
