“The purpose of the conflicts of interest policy is to help inform the board about what constitutes a conflict of interest, assist the board in identifying and disclosing actual and potential conflicts, and help ensure the avoidance of conflicts of interest where necessary. This policy may be enforced against individual board members as described below: 1. Board members have a fiduciary duty to conduct themselves without conflict to the interests of u.s. Digital response (usdr). In their capacity as board members, they must subordinate personal, individual business, third-party, and other interests to the welfare and best interests of usdr. 2. A conflict of interest is conduct, a transaction or relationship that presents or might conflict with a board member's obligations owed to the usdr and the board member's personal, business or other interests. 3. All conflicts of interest are not necessarily prohibited or harmful to usdr. However, full disclosure of all actual and potential conflicts, and a determination by the disinterested board (or usdr executive committee) members - with the interested board member(s) recused from participating in debates and voting on the matter - are required. 4. All actual and potential conflicts of interests are disclosed by board members to the usdr executive committee through the annual disclosure form and/or to the board whenever a conflict arises. Disinterested members of the usdr executive committee will make a determination as to whether a prohibited conflict exists and what subsequent action is appropriate (if any). The usdr executive committee will inform the board of such determination and action. The board will retain the right to modify or reverse such determination and action, and will retain the ultimate enforcement authority with respect to the interpretation and application of this policy. 5. On an annual basis, all board members will be provided with a copy of the conflict of interest policy and required to complete and sign the acknowledgment and disclosure form. All completed forms will be provided to and reviewed by the usdr executive committee, as well as all other conflict information, if any, provided by board members.”

“For ceo compensation, usdr people operations conducted a study on nonprofit executive compensation and shared findings with the board. The board then sets and approves the final ceo compensation. Compensation for other officers and key employees is set by a market compensation analysis conducted by people operations. Documents related to market compensation analysis and subsequent pay changes are retained by people operations in shared drives, as well as captured in our payroll system.”

“The organization's governing documents and financial statements are available upon request.”
