“Alliance of construction trade's conflict of interest policy covers any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: an ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the organization has a transaction or arrangement, a compensation arrangement with the organization or with any entity or individual with which the organization has a transaction or arrangement, or a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with any entity or individual with which the organization is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. 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, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organizations' best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. Every board member, whether new or returning, must review and sign the conflict of interest policy statement annually.”

“The board of directors determines the executive director's salary on an annual basis. The determination is based on comparability data, together with organizational performance. Compensation is not based on a specified percentage of financial metrics; rather, salary increases are only granted if the organization has the financial wherewithal to do so.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available on request.”
