"Each Covered Person shall sign a Conflict of Interest report at the beginning of the Fiscal Year (or when they join the Board, if mid-year) and report annually any changes to his/her business and charitable affiliations to the Board Chair. Every new Member of the Board will be advised of this policy upon entering the duties of his/her office, and shall sign a statement acknowledging, understanding of, and agreement to this policy.

“Executive Director and other top management, officers, and key employees; the Executive Committee will obtain research and information to make a recommendation to the full Board for the compensation (pay and benefits) of the Executive Director (and any other highly compensated employees or consultants) based on a review of the comparability data. To approve the compensation for the Executive Director (and any other highly compensated employees or consultants), the Board must document how it reached its decisions, including the date on which it relied, in the minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. For example, the Executive Committee will secure data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals. The data may include the following: Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources; written job offers for positions at similar organizations; documented telephone calls about similar positions at both non-profit and for-profit organizations; and information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations. Concurrent documentation during the process of Board approval, documentation is needed, and must include: a description of the compensation and benefits, and the date it was approved.”
