“After being reviewed and approved by the finance and audit committee, a copy of the form 990 is made available to all members of the board of governors. The form 990 is reviewed and presented to the zoo's board of governors at a board meeting prior to its filing with the irs.”
“Conflict of interest questionnaires are completed annually by all officers, directors, trustees, and key employees. Trustees who have a beneficial interest in a decision are excused from discussion and voting rights.”
“There are several factors, monetary and nonmonetary, that are considered in determining executive compensation. These business-related factors include: - budget: does the budget allow for any flexibility in the offer and what is the relative financial health of our organization? - internal equity: what are other executives in the same type of job or at the same job level being paid? - market price/external demands: is this job difficult to fill or is it hard to find qualified candidates in this location or industry? - candidates' level of experience: how many years of relevant experience does this person bring to the table? - candidates' education level: what degrees does the person have that will benefit our organization? - candidates' current compensation package: what is this person's current base pay and benefits package? - salary surveys: what are other executives in the same type of job being paid at other non-profit organizations of the same size? Once the salary is determined, the board of governors reviews this information. A written employment agreement is used for the ceo.”
“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public upon request. The zoo's articles of incorporation and annual reports are also on file with the colorado secretary of state.”
