“The Executive Committee shall consist of members of the Board of Directors in such a number as determined by the Board of Directors. The Chair of the Board of Directors shall serve as Chair of the Executive Committee and Committee membership shall include, the officers of the Corporation and a number of other members as the Board of Directors may determine. The Executive Committee may, between meetings of the Board, exercise any or all of the powers delegated to it by the Board, including, but not limited to consideration of the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer or President, executive performance and guidance, and any emergency needs of the Corporation.”

“Prior to the annual Form 990 being filed, the Finance and Administration Committee of the Board of Directors are provided a copy of the 990 for review, questions and comments during a scheduled finance committee meeting. Once they've reviewed and provided any comments, the rest of governing board receives a copy.”

“The organizational leadership, including Board Chair and President, determines prior to a board of director or committee vote and related discussion whether there may be a conflict of interest with any member. This is done partly via a review of known conflicts of interest as disclosed in an annual survey of board and staff members. In addition, members are asked to self-identify potential conflicts ahead of a decision-making process. Board directors with a declared conflict of interest shall disqualify themselves from voting on a motion relative to the area of conflict. In some cases, it may be appropriate to leave the room when the vote is taken. If the conflict of interest is publicly announced, the director may participate in any discussions relative to the area of conflict.”

“Evaluation of the performance and salary of the CEO is done by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The evaluation and salary of the VP is determined by the CEO. Comparable salary data is reviewed by the committee, with the committee members providing its rationale for their salary recommendation to the board of directors for vote at a regular meeting of the board. These deliberations are documented in meeting minutes and HR files.”
