Practice Greenhealth

“Pgh has one class of voting members and four sub-categories of non-voting members.”

“There is one voting member of practice greenhealth and that member is the d.c. Nonprofit organization, and related organization, health care without harm. The voting member shall have the right to elect and remove the members of the board of directors of practice greenhealth.”

“The one voting member of practice greenhealth, and related organization, health care without harm, has authority to approve any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or transfer of substantially all assets, to amend the articles of incorporation and the bylaws, and to exercise such other rights as are provided in the bylaws or reserved to voting members under the act.”

“Pgh's federal form 990 is reviewed by the controller, the chief administrative officer and the executive director. Such review takes place upon receipt of the draft form 990 received from the independent public accounting firm who conducts the financial statement audit of pgh. The review involves comparison of financial data in the federal form 990 with the audited financial statements and the books and records of pgh and review of all narrative information for accuracy and completeness. Additionally, the treasurer of the board of directors reviews a copy of the return for accuracy. Prior to filing the federal form 990 with the internal revenue service, a complete copy is provided to all voting members of pgh's board of directors.”

“The board of directors' conflict of interest policy provides the following procedures for addressing potential conflicts of interest that may require board or committee action: 1) the interested person must disclose all facts material of the conflict of interest and such disclosure must be reflected in the minutes of the meeting where such matter is being reviewed; 2) the interested person is prohibited from participating in discussions except to disclose material facts and respond to questions; 3) such person shall not attempt to exert his or her personal influence with respect to the matter either at or outside of the meeting; 4) such person may not be present to hear the board or committee discussions on the matter; 5) such interested person is precluded from voting on the matter and such person's presence may not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum for purposes of the vote at the meeting; 6) such person may not be present during the vote unless the vote is by secret ballot; and 7) such person's ineligibility to vote should be reflected in the minutes. Additionally, the employee code of conduct applies to all employees; and all employees receive a copy of the code of conduct and return an acknowledgement to the hr department that they understand and will comply with the code of conduct. Section 21 of the personnel policies sets forth the conflict of interest rules applicable to all employees. It is pgh's intent to avoid impropriety in all of our decisions and actions. Pgh employees are prohibited from participating in activities that conflict with pgh's activities or interests. It is impossible to describe all of the situations that might cause or give rise to a conflict of interest. However, in general, employees should not engage in any activity where there is the potential for their professional, financial, or other personal interests to be opposed to the interests of pgh or where their outside and personal interests might adversely influence their actions and judgments on behalf of pgh or interfere with their ability to act in the best interests of pgh. In addition, employees may not use their positions at pgh for personal benefit, for the benefit of friends or relatives, or to further any outside interests or personal agenda. If a conflict or potential conflict arises, employees under the policy may consult with the executive director, their supervisor or human resources. If the executive director considers a possible conflict of interest, they are required to report this to the president.”

“The directors of pgh shall serve as such without salary, but the board of directors may authorize payment by pgh of the reasonable expenses incurred by the directors in the performance of their duties. The directors may also authorize payment for services rendered in a capacity other than as a director, with prior board of directors approval. All board member compensation will be approved by the pgh's board of directors. A board of directors committee, which shall consist solely of disinterested individuals who do not directly or indirectly receive more than an insignificant amount of compensation from pgh, will be established to set and manage appropriate compensation levels for the president and executive director. This committee will also review on an annual basis the levels of reimbursement for board of directors travel and other expenses and any other payments to directors for services. As part of its due diligence, the compensation committee shall rely on appropriate comparative data, including salary data from surveys, compensation levels for similar positions in both exempt and taxable organizations, and regional economic data. The compensation committee shall also document the basis upon which it relies for its compensation determinations.”

“Governing documents, including the conflict of interest policy, the federal form 990, and financial statements are available upon request.”
