“Enforcement of any conflicts include: (a) approving or disapproving any transaction or situation at issue; (b) requiring the director to remove himself or herself from positions in which the conflict of interest exists until there is no longer a conflict; or (c) requiring the director to discontinue, reduce, or modify his or her participation on the board, committees, or task forces where the conflict exists.”

“Executive director compensation is determined by the executive committee (a nine-member committee of the board given the task of governing the foundation's operations more closely than the entire board.) the executive committee is independent of the individuals whose compensation is being determined. In determining a reasonable level of compensation, board members consider salaries paid to other similar positions in the region. The deliberation and determination of the executive committee is done without staff present. Their final decision is recorded in the executive committee meeting minutes.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available for public inspection upon request at the organization's offices.”
