“The form 990 is prepared by an accounting firm, and then the draft is provided to the executive director and the director of finance and administration for review. After this review is completed, the draft is presented to the board of directors for review and comment prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

“The coalition's conflict of interest policy requires all members to annually disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest. In addition, members are asked to sign the conflict of interest policy annually and to disclose any conflicts during the year that might arise.”

“The board of directors reviews and approves the executive director's annual salary, with no participation by the executive director or other interested persons. The executive director's salary is established using comparable data for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similar nonprofits; consideration of roles and responsibilities of the executive director; and cost of living data. Comparable market data is obtained from salary surveys and form 990s filed by comparable not-for- profit organizations. Discussions and decisions regarding the compensation are documented in executive committee meeting minutes. The executive director also receives reimbursements for routine, reasonable, and documented expenses incurred during the year under an accountable plan. The executive director travels throughout our service area. The organization has a travel policy that caps reimbursement levels and requires low-budget travel.”

“The compensation of employees of the coalition is determined by the executive director. However, total salaries and benefits expense is included in the annual budget which is approved by the board of directors.”

“Governing documents are made available upon request.”

“Members of the board of directors serve on a volunteer basis.”

“Year. The key to nmcadv's effectiveness is a commitment to innovation and to finding creative ways to provide help and support to programs that serve victims and their families. We lead and/or coordinate major policy efforts across the state. We are engaged in a planning process, which engages membership to explore possibilities for creating the future of domestic violence services in nm. Nmcadv led national efforts to explore the effectiveness of services to those who commit domestic violence and the organization developed and produced two, first-of-their-kind, national conferences on messaging about domestic violence. Currently, nmcadv is exploring trauma informed, evidence-based models of services and developing well-researched performance and evaluation measures to guide our efforts. Because of the rural nature of most of new mexico, many domestic violence programs would lack access to innovative training, information, and assistance was it not for the efforts of the nmcadv. To increase access to training and support statewide, we use a variety of methods including in-person training on a regular basis in all areas of the state, as well as online training and peer trainers. The nmcadv staff mission, to which we adhere strongly, is to: continuously and significantly increase value for members, stakeholders and funders, now and in the future.”
