“The form 990 is reviewed by the cfo and the finance committee of the organization before a public inspection copy is made available to the full board. Board members are given the opportunity to ask questions and express concerns prior to filing the return.”

“All staff members are required to sign the organization's conflict of interest statement when hired; board members sign when joining the board of directors. Staff and board members are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and agree to disclose any conflicts of interest that may occur in the future. For conflicts involving board members, the executive committee attempts to resolve any actual or potential conflicts and, in the absence of resolution, refers the matter to the board of directors. For staff members, the ceo resolves all matters related to actual or potential conflicts of interest.”

“Medical teams attempts to pay salaries competitive with those paid by other relief and development organizations, consistent with the applicable labor markets. The director of human resources carries out regular surveys of salaries paid by comparable employers. Salary increases are based on availability of funds, performance evaluations, changes in responsibilities, and adjustments based on the annual market surveys. The executive committee of the board of directors reviews and approves the president/ceo's salary. Other employees' salaries are set by evaluating two sources of market data on us-based non-profit salaries. Those sources are utilized by the hr department to develop salary scales that are then approved by the ceo. The last date for review of all current salaries was december 2021. The external sources of data are the birches salary survey and the prm consulting compensation salary survey.”

“Governing documents and the conflict-of-interest policy are on file with the executive department and are available upon request. Financial statements are available on the organization's website.”

“Volunteers provide training and health care to people in need in developing countries and disaster-affected areas, implement emergency preparedness programs, provide free dental care in the pacific northwest, host visitors and tour groups in our multi-sensory exhibit, provide general office assistance, represent the organization in community events, and help prepare medical supplies and equipment for shipment to international offices and partners.”

“Founded in 1979, medical teams international (medical teams) is a christian humanitarian relief agency focused on providing life-saving medical care for people in crisis, such as survivors of natural disasters and refugees. We care for the whole person - physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Daring to love like jesus, we care for all people -regardless of religion, nationality, sex, or race. We believe every person, no matter where they are or how desperate their situation, matters. Medical teams responds to disasters and protracted emergencies around the world where the needs are urgent, where we have access, and when resources are available. We provide direct medical care to people who have been impacted by emergencies and conflict and have limited or no access to life-saving care. We use professionally trained volunteers and staff to operate fixed or mobile health centers. We work directly with health facilities to improve and strengthen the quality of medical services being provided. In many cases, this involves training of health care professionals and seeking to improve access and management of medicines and medical supplies. We work in partnership with communities, especially with women and children, to empower them to manage and promote their own health as well as reduce preventable diseases and ensure sustainability and well-being long after we leave. In the u.s., we provide free dental and medical services to people with little or no access to healthcare through our mobile health program, traveling to serve communities with unmet heatlh needs.”
