“The board is required to annually evaluate its performance and that of the individual members. Included in those processes is a review of performance related to those areas where conflicts of interest have presented or may exist. In addition, board members complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure each year and potential or existing conflicts are addressed as part of the monthly board agenda.”

“Each year the board of directors is required to do a performance review of the ceo. As part of that review, they are provided salary and benefits amounts of the ceo and the agency's administrators and directors along with market values for like positions in the field. As a combination of market comparisons, ceo performance, and the financial condition of the agency, the executive committee of the board sets the salary of the ceo. They likewise are presented for review, information about the other administrative and director positions. That provides them with the opportunity to evaluate equity of treatment and to ask any questions of the ceo they wish specific to any intentions on her part to address compensation. Decisions specific to those positions are vested ultimately with the ceo and are accomplished within the predetermined salary range for each position in the context of the financial position of the agency, their performance, and other competing organizational needs. Salary determinations at this level occur at the beginning of the fiscal year so that the agency's financial condition is clear.”
