“Due to the size of the organization, there are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“Tax return is provided to each Board member electronically with a request for comments and questions prior to filing.”

“Board members are required to sign a Conflict of Interest and Corporate Ethics Statement and Certification. POLICY IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY AND RELATED BUSINESSES AND / OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS ARE DISCLOSED.”

“The Board of Directors has adopted an organization salary schedule, taking into account comparable compensation trends, fringe benefits, and opportunities for professional development and continuing education. The salary schedule categorizes each position within the organization and provides step increases based on annual performance evaluations. The Board reviews and approves the compensation of the President and CEO on an annual basis during a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.”

“During our incorporation period, the Board obtained a salary scan via hr360.com, a resource available via CalNonprofits for each position in the organization and the US OPM website. The Board created a salary schedule with categories and steps, then assigned each position a category based on duties and responsibilities. The Board reviewed the proposed salary schedule and supporting documents and approved the salary schedule and job description during the initial board meeting and reviews it annually to make any needed adjustments based on market trends.”

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