“All staff and board members are informed annually of the conflict of interest policy. As we are small, senior staff are involved in all the major transactions/decisions so they are responsible for ensuring compliance.”

“For the past ten years this procedure has included an annual performance review for each of the two executive directors(ed). In addition a comparison of form 990 compensation information for comparable nonprofits in our community and a comprehensive historical snapshot of our eds' compensation has been prepared for the board president. The board president has discussions with at least one other key board member as he deems appropriate and then makes compensation decisions for the year.”
