“The Executive Committee has the authority to act on behalf of the full governing board, but the actions of the Executive Committee must not supersede the full health center governing board's authorities, functions, and responsibilities. The Executive Committee must report all actions taken independently and on behalf of the board to the full governing board. The Executive Committee is comprised of the President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.”

“After the 990 is prepared by our CPA firm the document is reviewed for accuracy by the CFO and Controller. A complete copy of the 990 is then distributed to the board and reviewed at a board meeting prior to being filed with the IRS.”

“It is the policy of Health West that interests shall be fully disclosed by any individual regardless of whether a Conflict of Interest is determined to exist. Health West requires that all individuals affiliated with Health West and persons seeking to affiliate with Health West disclose in writing (and update at least annually): (1) all Interests that may create an actual or potential Conflict of Interest, and (2) where applicable, provide a statement suggesting how such Conflict of Interest could be avoided or mitigated. Members of, and candidates for membership on, the Board of Directors shall make disclosures to the Chair of the Board of Directors. If the Chair has such an Interest, he or she must make disclosure to the Vice Chair, respectively, who will, in turn, be responsible for advising the Board. The CEO shall make disclosures to the Chair of the Board who will, then, be responsible for advising the Board of such disclosure. In the case of a potentially conflicted person who is a Board member (including the CEO), that person may make a presentation to the Board regarding whether he or she has a Conflict of Interest, and may respond to related questions from the Board. However, after such presentation, he or she shall leave the meeting during any discussion of, or vote on, whether a Conflict of Interest exists, and if such Conflict of Interest is determined by the Board to exist, he or she shall leave the meeting during any discussion of, and voting on, the transaction or arrangement that involves the Conflict of Interest. After exercising due diligence, the Board or CEO, as applicable, shall determine whether Health West can obtain an equivalent transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a Conflict of Interest. In circumstances where there are material continuing or pervasive Conflicts of Interest, an individual may be required by the Board of Health West or the CEO, as applicable, to withdraw from his or her position with Health West unless the individual, family member or business associate chooses to disassociate from the outside position that causes the Conflict of Interest. If there is an individual who failed to disclose an Interest the Board or CEO may take appropriate corrective and/or disciplinary action, including removal of the individual from the selection, negotiation, or administration of any contracts or grants.”

“The Board of Directors uses comparability data from surveys and historical data in approving the CEO salary. The same methods are used for the CEO to approve the salaries of all remaining employees, including the CFO. The board periodically reviews professional staff salaries. Compensation was last reviewed in 2015.”

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