All directors and officers confirm each year that they are not aware of any conflicts of interest as to themselves or others, and the organization monitors compliance with the conflict of interest policy throughout the year. The supported organization requests completion of an annual disclosure form, ensures that all forms have been received and prepares a summary of disclosures and forwards the forms and summary to its legal counsel. The supported organization's cfo also receives a copy of the summary and reviews all forms and is responsible for assuring appropriate reporting to the external auditors and disclosure in the annual tax filings.”

“The organization has full time employees and compensates two officers. The president's compensation is reviewed annually by the governing board of directors, along with a memo summarizing salary comparability data. Proposed compensation adjustments for the president are discussed and approved by the independent governing board of directors. Certain officers and/or directors are also compensated by a related organization, the jewish community federation of san francisco, the peninsula, marin and sonoma counties ('jcf'). Jcf does a compensation survey and analysis for the senior level positions. Jcf looks at compensation that is equitable internally and externally for these positions. There is a periodic review of all salaries from an independent professional compensation organization. The review includes similar positions in the non-profit and for-profit sector locally and is adjusted nationally. The compensation review also analyzes compensation information from other form 990s for similar organizations as well as many other sources of compensation data.”

“The organization is a part of the jewish community federation, a related party, that makes its consolidated audited financial statements and form 990 for the most recent three years and conflict of interest policy available to the public upon request.”
