“The key changes to the bylaws in 2014 were: 1. Each director will serve a three year term starting on the date of the meeting at which he/she is elected. The director can serve two terms at the request of the executive committee but must have a one year break before serving a third term. 2. The officers will consist of a chair, chair elect, and immediate past chair, secretary/treasurer and other officers as determined by the board.”

“The 990 will be forwarded electronically to all board members prior to filing. Acknowledgement of review by each member will be requested.”

“Based on the bylaws of the board of directors and the practice of its members and designated staff, the skillpoint board is engaged in monitoring and enforcing important compliance policies for the organization. Once a year, board members are asked to review the conflict of interest policy and adhere to it. At the nomination of new board members typically during the june board meeting, board of directors are required to disclose of any conflict of interests they may have while serving on the board of directors for skillpoint alliance.”

“By request of the deputy director, skillpoint uses a third party to hire president/ceo and to determine the salary range based on a market study of comparable non-profit leaders of organizations of similar size and/or mission as well as other typical factors, experience, salary history etc. Recommendations are then sent to the selection committee which was made up of a number of skillpoint alliance board directors, the chairman of the board as well as 2 outside business leaders who volunteered to assist in the interview process. The selection committee has final approval of decisions made. Employees are reviewed annually by the executive committee who then make recommendations relating to retention of the position and any salary adjustment to the full board for approval.”
