“Board members and employees are given a copy of our conflict of interest policy. Board members sign and turn in to the board management committee that they have read the policy and must disclose any possible conflicts. The board management committee investigates each and determines if anything needs to come before the full board. The board management committee also has the right to investigate any perceived conflict of interest, even if it is not disclosed by the individual. Staff turn in their signed forms to the executive director who presents to the board any issues that need attention.”

“Regular cost of living pay increases are preapproved and built into the budget each year by the board. Critical achievements are developed for each employee. These are a list of specific items that need to be accomplished. Each item must be measurable and with a specific time attached. Degrees of success are listed on the critical achievements. So, specific items, such as convention attendance or sales of books can be rated. The levels are unsatisfactory, marginal, expected, significantly exceeds, and far exceeds. Unsatisfactory counts as a zero and far exceeds counts as a four. The object is to reach a 4.0 average of your critical achievements. Compensation, especially raises or bonuses, are based on this data. You perform=you get rewarded. The board approves a specific amount for employee raises or incentives each year based on the year end financial situation. These are awarded based on their critical achievements scores. The critical achievements could also result in a probation or termination if the score is below average. In a separate meeting the board determines the executive director's compensation with incentives based on the same principal. The executive director has a contract and the board discusses his critical achievement and discusses total package. The whole board votes on any salary changes (other than across board cost of living adjustments) and incentives for performance or probation/termination.”
