“Open transformation lab has board meetings annually and additionally as required. At each board meeting where the board discusses issues or other corporate actions which may involve conflicts, each board member is required to disclose potential conflicts. These disclosures are then reviewed for items of conflict. Items noted as a potential conflict, if any, are reviewed by the board, directors, officers, and, where appropriate, outside legal counsel. Appropriate action is taken to address the disclosures and to ensure that directors do not vote on any matter in which they have a conflict of interest.”
“Each year, certain independent directors survey the marketplace and gather market data on the compensation of the acting director (the ceo/executive director) and other top management positions. The acting director position and other top management positions are matched with other similar positions in organizations with similar revenues, structures, and scope. For the acting director positions and other top management positions, both base pay and total compensation pay are compared. Total compensation includes base pay and bonus pay. Every year, certain independent board members also conduct a formal performance evaluation on the acting director and other top management positions.”
“For officers and key employees, certain independent directors match these positions with other similar positions in organizations with similar revenues, structures, and scope. The market ranges for base pay are provided to those independent board members. Those independent board members review this data and approve the ranges to be used by the acting director in determining their base pay. The organization maintains contemporaneous documentation regarding its deliberations and decisions regarding each management compensation arrangement.”
