“All revenue, expenditures and budgetary processes are reviewed in a monthly meeting of the governing board of directors. Prepared financial statements are reviewed by officers, board, and advisory council on a monthly basis. The form 990 is prepared from the financials and is submitted to the board via the executive director. All members of the association are provided access to the 990 upon their request.”

“Annually the governing board signs a statement as to conflict of interest issues. Any violation of such policy constitutes a mandatory removal from the governing board.”

“When the executive director's contract is reviewed or renewed, the governing board reviews similar associations' positions in its deliberations on compensation. The compensation paid to the association's executive director is significantly below those of competing organizations.”

“The officers receive a spicified amount which is intended to pay for expenses. In the event the amount exeeds expenses, such excess amount would be considered compansation and reported as such. However, the specified amount has rarely exceeded expenses (in instances where this has occurrred it is likely more an issue of evidence of expenses, rather than not having sufficient expenses to cover the specified amount).”

“In the upea newsletter, and in public forums, the membership is informed that all information related to the association is available at the offices of the upea upon request.”

“Utah public employees association is a member based association organized to provide employees a voice in workplace issues including grievance representation, negotiating for market compensation and protection of employee benefits.”
