“The Form 990 was prepared by the outside accounting firm and reviewed by Senior Management officials. A copy was sent to each board member before filing with the IRS.”

“Pursuant to the written conflict of interest policy, employees are expected to use good judgement to adhere to high ethical standards and to avoid situations that create an actual or potential conflict of interest between the employee's personal interests and the interests of Equal Access. Employees unsure as to whether a certain transaction, activity, or relationship constitutes a conflict of interest discuss it with their supervisor or the CEO for clarification. Any exceptions to this guideline, including failure to disclose any conflicts or to seek an exception, will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. The Board is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest. If a conflict of interest were to occur, the member would recuse himself/herself from discussing and voting on the matter.”

“The process for determining the President/CEO's salary included a review and approval by the independent Board Members who used comparable salary data. The Board Member's decision was documented in the minutes and personnel files. The last review was conducted in November 2020. The President/CEO, along with a board member, determined the salaries for the other officers using comparable salary data and contemporaneously documented their decisions in the personnel files.”
