“All officers and directors are required to annually sign a conflict of interest disclosure. The disclosure asks for family relationships, business relationships including employment and contractual relationships, and disclosure of any transactions with the organization either directly or indirectly. The disclosure forms are then reviewed by the entire board. It is expected that officers and directors will not engage in any transactions that may give rise to a conflict of interest. If it is determined by the board that a potential conflict exists, that member may be asked to resign from the board.”

“Salary is reviewed annually for the president and is based on comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The salary must be approved by the board of directors. The president is not permitted to vote on her own salary.”
