“Board members are asked annually to review and disclose any possible conflicts of interest. There is also a strong culture among the staff to self-police for conflicts and to ask questions if something could appear questionable. If an issue does come up for staff, the executive director reviews the situation to see if any accommodations need to be made. If it is a significant issue, it will also go to the executive committee of the board for review. The executive committee also reviews all conflicts of interest issues brought up by the individual board members.”

“The board of directors reviews and determines the compensation of the executive director. Comparibility data from the king county nonprofit sector are used to help set compensation. Deliberation and decision processes are documented through email correspondence between board of directors, executive director and agency accountant.”
