“The conflict of interest policy of seattle children's foundation requires an annual survey of all officers, board members and members of board committees of seattle children's foundation, as well as staff members occupying roles with a degree of authority. The senior vice president/chief legal officer of schs oversees the review of all disclosures and establishes and oversees any necessary management plans related to them, in conjunction with board and executive leadership. In general, when a conflict of interest exists, the individual with the conflict must recuse themselves from participation in any board or committee discussion or other decision making regarding the transaction and refrain from voting on or deciding any issues relating to the conflicting interest. Any person covered by the policy who engages in conduct that violates the policy, or pursues a transaction or event following disapproval by the schs governance, audit and compliance commitee or the appropriate officer of schs may, at the discretion of the committee or the appropriate officer in accordance with their respective authority, be removed immediately from their duties with seattle children's foundation and/or terminated in their employment.”

“Executive compensation for the foundation's senior vice president and chief development officer falls within the purview of the people, culture and executive compensation committee of the board of trustees of schs, a related organization that is the direct controlling entity of seattle children's foundation. The schs board engages an independent third-party consultant annually to review and assess the executive compensation program (base, incentive compensation, and employer-paid benefits) to determine competitiveness. The schs board relies on the consultant's analysis to determine that compensation is reasonable and within the "bounds of competitive practice and to raise a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness within the meaning of irc section 4958 and the treasury regulations thereunder regarding the senior vice president and chief development officer's compensation package. The people, culture and executive compensation committee reviews the summary data provided and approves base salary recommendations for the senior vice president and chief development officer. Director and manager compensation is reviewed annually by the human resources department of seattle children's hospital (sch), a related organization to seattle children's foundation. Using a comprehensive market review process through which positions are compared to relevant survey data, key employee salaries are determined by performance and position range and governed by the range minimum and maximum to maintain compensation within the bounds of competitive practice. The full schs board of trustees reviews and approves actions of the people, culture and executive compensation committee, as well as the budgets for salaries as recommended by the human resources department of sch.”
