IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1All Directors and Key Employees are required to review the Conflict of Interest Policy and to sign a Conflict of Interest statement on an annual basis, making any disclosures as needed. Board or committee members (with the exclusion of the involved person) shall decide if a conflict of interest exists and vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. Persons considered to have a conflict of interest will be prohibited from participating in deliberations or decisions regarding related party transactions. To this end, the Executive Director does not participate in deliberations or decisions by the Compensation Committee regarding the Executive Director's salary.

This process ocurred last in 2019.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The Executive Director set the compensation for the operations director based upon comparable rates for similarly qualified persons at similar organizations using a benchmarking process and survey tool. This process ocurred last in 2019.
