“The 990 was reviewed by key members of the board of directors and the executive director before it was filed.”

“Each director, officer and members of committees with governing board delegated powers annually must sign a statement which affirms that each person has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands that the organization is tax exempt and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities consistent with its purpose.”

“Mentis' ceo compensation strategy reflects a strong desire to pay equitably while also overseeing fiscal stewardship of the agency as a whole. Our goal is to be in the median salary range of north bay executive directors, assuming job performance merits such salary. To set compensation, we rely on a variety of factors such as secondary sources (the annual nonprofit compensation study, produced by nonprofit compensation associates, inc. Using fairpay, a nonprofit salary and benefits model and software.), the current talent market and our own programmatic success in any given year. The board of directors at mentis does have the ability to set the ceo salary level below or above the median range based upon the factors mentioned above, while also considering tenure at the agency and experience at the ceo level. Each february, the executive committee conducts a performance review with the executive director. At that time, the committee makes a recommendation to the board at large for a possible increase in compensation. This is put to a board vote in march-april, in time to allow any increase to be planned for in mentis' upcoming july 1 fy budget.”
