Island Conservation

“Chief executive officer and controller review the first draft of form 990 and request revisions as appropriate. Controller provides the second draft of form 990 to all board members including finance committee and treasurer. Board members review and provide comments regarding concerns or issues to chief executive officer and controller before final revisions and submission.”

“Each fall-winter the conflict of interest policy is distributed to board and staff, and any potential conflicts are reported. Following full disclosure of a possible conflict of interest, the board of directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists and if so, the board shall vote to authorize or reject the transaction or take any other action deemed necessary to address the conflict and protect island conservation's best interests. Both votes shall be by a majority vote without counting the vote of any interested director, even if the disinterested directors are less than a quorum provided that at least one consenting director is disinterested. Any action taken shall be reflected in the official minutes of island conservation. An interested board member, officer, or staff member shall not participate in any discussion or debate of the board of directors, or of any committee or subcommittee thereof in which the subject of discussion is a contract, transaction, or situation in which there may be a perceived or actual conflict of interest. However, she or he may be present to provide clarifying information in such a discussion or debate unless objected to by any present board or committee member. Anyone in a position to make decisions about spending island conservation's resources (i.e. Transactions such as purchase contracts) - who also stands to benefit from that decision - has a duty to disclose that conflict as soon as it arises (or becomes apparent); she or he should not participate in any final decisions.”

“Island conservation periodically obtains relevant market data to ensure that hiring compensation decisions are consistent with market conditions, both for the ceo whose compensation is reviewed and approved by the board, and other staff whose compensation is not regularly reviewed and approved by the board.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
