“Before being seated, and at the beginning of each fiscal year, all board members must sign the csi board letter of commitment affirming and agreeing to abide by all the terms and conditions of the board governing policies as well as the csi board members' code of conduct, board members' individual responsibilities, this letter of commitment, the csi articles of incorporation, bylaws, and board resolutions. These polices specifically address conflict of interest, self-dealing, confidentiality, antitrust, and more. Employees agree to these policies upon their date of hire and signify their agreement by signing a document that acknowledges receipt of the employee handbook in which these policies are communicated. Employees must sign any subsequent agreements as policies are changed and as the handbook is updated. Board members must avoid any conflict of interest with respect to their fiduciary responsibility. When the board is to decide an issue about which a member has an actual or potential conflict of interest, that member discloses the conflict to the board and recuses herself or himself without comment from not only the vote, but also from the deliberation. In case of a dispute regarding the existence of a real or perceived conflict of interest, the board votes as to whether a conflict is present, and the vote of the board is final. The individual with the potential conflict of interest does not vote.”

“The organizaiton relies on a related organization, the construction specifications institute, inc. (csi), to establish compensation. The csi board utilizes an evaluation and compensation committee to determine the appropriate compensation for the executive director/ceo. The committee looks at compensation surveys and studies, and comparable information for similar associations. The executive director/ceo has a written employment contract. The executive director/ceo's compensation also requires board approval. The last compensation review took place may 2023. All other staff compensation is approved by the board indirectly via the annual budget process, in which the compensation is presented to the board in a lump-sum as part of the total budgeted operating expenses. The board does not evaluate or approve any individual staff compensation except for the executive director/ceo.”

“The organization makes the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
