If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“Members of the board led by the board chair set annual goals for the ceo aligned with the annual budget, and at the end of the budget year reviews performance against those goals along with industry compensation data provided by the cfo to determine compensation adjustments, if any, for the ceo. For other executive compensation, including the cfo, the finance committee reviews as part of the annual budget that the committee presents to the board for approval. The board approves a budget every year that includes detailed compensation for every employee. The board also retained a third party compensation expert to inform the board of appropriate compensation structure and amounts and used this information to determine ceo and cfo compensation.”

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”

“The amity foundation provides an array of services based on the therapeutic community model in a variety of physical settings. In general, the services provided for amity participants contain individual and group therapies that are specialized according to the actual setting and recipient of the activities. The amity communities at this time are involved in the following settings: * residential, transition and continuance services provide living quarters as well as the daily therapeutic community model in which participants learn to live as a community, as well as receiving therapeutic individual services, family reunification services, educational and vocational training. * in-prison services provide the therapeutic community model to qualifying members within particular prison settings so they can work on individual and group issues while still incarcerated. This service is particularly effective in prison and has assisted "lifers" (inmates that do not have the option to leave prison), in cleaning up and giving back to their fellow inmates what they have learned. * outreach, community based and prevention services provide therapeutic community model on a daily basis for participants without them living in a residential setting together. Besides receiving individual and group therapeutic services, family reunification, parenting, educational training, vocational training and housing services are provided as well. Services are provided for the substance abuse community and also for hiv/aids at risk populations. * family reunification and parenting services are provided within the therapeutic community model whether it is residential, or outreach/community based. These services are particularly important to forestall the generational patterns of substance abuse and other behaviors related to it. * curriculum training and education are provided to amity staff and individual counselors interested in learning the therapeutic community model. Cross-training has been made available for individuals who provide ancillary services to the amity community in order for them to fulfill their services in a way that is keeping with the therapeutic community model. *we provide case management and other substance use disorder supportive services such as our specialized treatment for optimized programming and just in reach which is largely navigation and placement into systems of care. We also serve as a coordinating agency for placement, case management, navigation into other subcontracted substance use disorder services. We provide housing, temporary housing, housing support services and rental assistance, care coordination, community health worker, and employment services such as access, placement and retention strategies for employment, connections to training opportunities, subsidized wages and other employment supportive services for those who have been impacted by addiction, trauma, incarceration, poverty, and homelessness. Finally, amity was selected to act as third-party administrator (tpa) through los angeles county ceo office to manage and distribute a portion of funds included in the cfci spending plan, and non-cfci funds for grants to justice-focused community-based organizations. Amity is responsible for distributing $55 million over three years across eight program areas with the goal of equitably increasing access to funds for organizations serving youth and those impacted by injustice and inequities within the criminal justice systems.”
