“Membership shall consist of active members, emeritus members, and doctoral-level trainees, all of whom are entitled to one vote on matters requiring membership action.”

“Three classes of members have the right to elect members of the council (governing body): active members, emeritus members, and doctoral-level trainee members. There is an annual election for certain officers and a rotating portion of the council members.”

“Decisions that require member approval are: 1) bylaw amendments require an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the membership responding within 45 days after the transmission of the ballot to the members. 2) removal of officers, council members, or appointed officials requires a vote of two-thirds of the membership responding to the ballot.”

“A detailed review of the form 990 is performed by the manager, tax & grant reporting, the senior director, finance & it, and the ceo. The council members and officers have the opportunity to review the form 990 prior to filing with the irs.”

“Council members and key employees are required to read and sign a conflict of interest statement annually. They are required to disclose, in writing, any conflicts from business transactions that would need to be listed on schedule l, part iv. The forms are reviewed and signed by a staff liaison and a staff senior director in charge of governance who determines whether an actual conflict exists. In addition, the conflict of interest statement is read at the beginning of each council meeting and individuals are required to disclose any new conflicts they are aware of arising from their own or other council members' activities. Council members are required to recuse themselves from voting on any issue in which they have a conflict of interest. Depending on the conflict, they may also be required to leave the meeting during the discussion and deliberations and they may not be counted in determining a quorum for the meeting. Meeting minutes reflect any recusal.”

“The executive director's proposed compensation is reviewed by the performance and compensation committee (p&cc) of the society before it takes effect. The p&cc is composed of the secretary-treasurer, current president, president-elect, and immediate past president. An independent consultant performs a compensation study of other comparable professional associations and discusses the results with the p&cc. The committee evaluates the proposed compensation in light of the survey for market reasonableness and the irs intermediate sanctions rules. The p&cc approves a compensation amount. A written employment contract between the society and the executive director has been approved by the p&cc. The p&cc also reviews salaries for the remaining key employees (senior directors). The independent consultant performs a compensation study of other comparable professional associations to determine market reasonableness of salaries. He also discusses the irs intermediate sanctions rules with the p&cc to ensure that they understand the salary levels are appropriate in light of those rules.”
