“Annually, the Board of Directors reviews the conflict of interest policy. Each board member is then asked to disclose any possible conflicts. Additionally, all interested persons (directors, service providers, or any other person having responsibility for the management or administration of the organization's finances, investments, or other proprietary information) are under a continuing obligation to disclose any potential conflict of interest to the Board of Directors as soon as it is known or reasonably should be known.”

“The executive committee establishes a compensation committee to review and recommend CEO compensation. Anyone with a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement at issue is not allowed to be a member of the compensation committee. The compensation committee reviews the duties and responsibilities of the CEO, reviews the accomplishments and challenges faced by the CEO, and reviews any available compensation information of CEOs of regional organizations that are similar in size and complexity. The compensation committee also considers the financial ability of the organization. The compensation committee then recommends to the Board of Directors a compensation package that is reasonable and fair considering all factors. The Board of Directors considers the compensation committees recommendation, reviews the supporting information, and approves a compensation package to be offered. Contemporaneous documentation of the compensation committee's and Board of Director's deliberations, recommendations, and approval are maintained in the records of the organization. Supporting documents are also maintained.”
