“In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person and receiving answers to questions from the interested person, he or she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while determination of a conflict of interest is deliberated and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a director, principal officer or member of a committee has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform that person of the basis for such belief and afford the person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the person's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“Each year a compensation study is undertaken using two main sources of data. Information is gathered from approximately 100 comparable agency 990 filings in a manual process that includes comparing agencies based on revenues, assets, number of employees, and geographic areas. The other method is to use the eri database to compare methodology. The results of each of these methods are provided to the board's compensation committee along with the raw data. The compensation committee meets independently of the organization's staff and makes a recommendation to the full board for the ceo's compensation. For staff other than the ceo, compensation information is obtained from the u.s. Department of labor's onet program, from the eri database, and from other comparable agency 990 data. The ceo approves the compensation of all other employees based on salary ranges that have been approved by the board.”
