“Members of the organization: the mountan west conference is made up of 12 member institutions who receive distributions from the organization.”

“Election of members and their rights: each institution as a member of the conference elects one director. The director is the ceo or president of their institution and remains on the board as long as they are the ceo or president of their institution.”

“Form 990 review process: form 990 is distributed to senior staff members, including the cfo and commissioner, for review before it is filed with the irs.”

“How the conflict of interest policy is monitored and enforced: the organization has a conflict of interest policy included in the mwc employee handbook that is provided on an annual basis to each employee and each employee signs an acknowledgement of receipt letter indicating they have received the employee handbook. Any instances in which a conflict of interest may potentially exist are monitored closely by senior staff and department heads.”

“Executive compensation policy and procedures: compensation for the ceo (commissioner) is determined and approved by the board of directors using comparability data from form 990s of similar organizations, and is reviewed on an annual basis. On an annual basis the board of directors approves a maximum authorization for staff salaries to be allocated at the discretion of the commissioner for all other staff members including officers and other key employees. Using comparability data from form 990s of similar organizations, the commissioner sets compensation for other officers. This procedure was last performed in 2018. The compensation procedures and decisions are documented in the organization's personnel files.”
