“The 990 was reviewed by our accounting manager and the executive director against our schedule of functional expense and financial statements.”

“Board of directors are all given copies of the conflict of interest policy when they join the board and annually. Staff is made aware of the policy when hired and at our annual seasonal orientation. It is also in our employee manual.”

“The determination of the salary wage for the executive director is determined by the board of directors. The overall salaries/hourly wages for other employees are determined by the executive director. Salaries are approved by the board of directors when the annual budget is reviewed by the board during the budget meeting. The executive director gathers comparisons, from other non-profits, the business community, salary surveys, and like organizations such as other cooperating associations. Those studies include cost of living increases and benefits. These studies are done periodically, usually every 2-3 years to be sure that the association is still within the same framework as other like organizations.”

“The 990 is made available to the gta board and is on the gta website. Our governing documents, financial statements and conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon request.”
