Conflicts and potential conflicts are reviewed in conjunction with the annual planning meeting of the board.”

“A multi year compensation proposal for all accca staff is prepared by the finance committee in collaboration with the executive director for the executive committee's review at the annual planning meeting in june of each year. Salary/benefit proposals are researched based on comparative salary studies in the state and region, and national prevailing wages at that time. The executive committee endorses or revises the budget proposal which moves to the full board for review prior to the annual planning meeting in june and action is taken at that meeting to either approve or reject that proposal as tentative. Following close of books in july, a final draft is prepared and set to the board for action in september of each year. All board actions are documented in the minutes of that meeting. The board has ultimate approval of compensation and benefits through the budget setting process. Wages are established in the tentative budget [june]; any consideration of revisions takes place in the budget approval process [september]; merit or other adjustments occur in the budget revision process [january]. This process applies to all positions including executive director; administrative manager; meeting/event manager; administrative assistant and communications technician.”
