“Dana L. Shires, M.D., Associate Medical Director, and Dana L. Shires III, Executive VP of Tissue Bank Services, are father and son.”

“The Foundation's Form 990 is provided to the Audit Committee, CEO, and CFO via a secure web page for preliminary review. The Form 990 is then distributed to the entire governing board using the same secure web page prior to issuance.”

“Annually, the Foundation requires all Interested Persons to attest that they have received, read and agreed to comply with LifeLink's Conflict of Interest Policy. The annual certification requires the disclosure of any conflicts of interest that may exist. The Compliance Officer and President review potential conflicts of interest and determine what action, if any, is necessary including additional review by the Executive Committee of the Governing Board. On an ongoing basis, conflicts of interest are monitored based on periodic reviews performed by the Foundation's internal corporate compliance department.”

“An independent Compensation Committee, acting on behalf of the Governing Board, is responsible for reviewing and approving the total compensation of all officers, directors, key employees and any related family members at least annually. This review includes a detailed analysis of comparable data from industry surveys; Form 990s and studies from third party consultants. The latest compensation study was performed in June 2016.”

“The organization does not make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, or financial statements available to the public as they are not required to by law.”

“LifeLink's Corporate Compliance Program: The objective of the Corporate Compliance Department is to provide guidance to all employees as they carry out their daily activities within appropriate ethical and legal standards. Corporate Compliance provides an in house compliance service that effectively supports each division in their duty to comply with relevant laws and internal procedures. Corporate Compliance reviews best practices from outside resources to ensure policies and procedures are updated as necessary. Annual policy training is provided to all employees as it is an important part of their professional development and commitment to achieve LifeLink's mission. Corporate Compliance also oversees the Foundation's employee hotline, which allows employees to report potential Corporate Compliance concerns anonymously. These compliance concerns are investigated thoroughly and promptly. The Corporate Compliance Department is responsible for developing and maintaining an efficient and effective program of internal auditing and monitoring to enhance our capacity to manage risk, investigate emerging issues and trends and detecting deviations from established internal controls. Corporate Compliance is also involved with assisting the Information Systems Department with LifeLink cyber security strategies. Ethical and moral behavior is expected from all employees. The Corporate Compliance Department embodies dedication to the highest standards of ethical behavior, expressed through corporate culture and through adherence to the law. LifeLink is committed to detecting and correcting any unintentional or deliberate conduct that is inconsistent with these principles.”

“Message of Gratitude from the Chairman of the Board and President/CEO: Few moments in life are more humbling than hearing the expressions of gratitude from a donor family for honoring their loved one's legacy in life. The generosity of donors and their families extends well beyond their own lives to people of all nationalities, races, religions and social classes, bringing renewed life, health and hope to many. LifeLink appreciates all those who tirelessly support the life-saving mission of donation and transplantation in their own work every day. Thank you to our hospital partners who support the donation process through their dedication to donors and their families, clinical expertise and time-sensitive reporting. Thank you to the many medical examiners, coroners and funeral home directors for their work to facilitate the donation process. Thank you to the driver license employee who offers the donation option to every customer seeking a license renewal. Thank you to our volunteers who share their personal story, often as a donor family member or recipient, inspiring others through their courage and generosity. Thank you to all our community partners and friends whose support and guidance have strengthened our collaborations, allowing us to serve more within our community. And finally, thank you to our LifeLink staff whose tireless dedication, commitment, and passionate support for donors and their families continues to help save and improve more lives every year. As we reflect on the success of the last year, we celebrate the many lives positively impacted by donation and transplantation and the donors and their families who made these treasured gifts possible. Dennis F. Heinrichs, B.S.N., M.B.A. Chairman of the Board Jean Aikens Davis President & CEO”
