“From time to time, but not less than every four years, the tend board (excluding the president) will engage in a process to conduct a "comparability review" of executive compensation. The president will not be a part of the review process. The tend board will look at "comparable" salary and benefits data, such as data available from salary and benefit surveys, to learn what nonprofit employers with similar missions, and of a similar budget size, that are located in the same, or a similar geographic region, pay their senior leader. The tend board will document who has been involved, the process used to conduct the review, as well as the disposition of the full board's decision to approve the president's compensation in the board minutes.”

“The forms 1023, 990, articles of incorporation, bylaws, policies, and financial statements and other originiating documents and financial information are available upon request during regular business hours at the address of records.”
