“During the first quarter of each year, the annual conflict of interest questionnaire is sent to board members, corporate officers, key employees, and department directors for completion and signature. The questionnaire is accompanied by a letter of explanation to illustrate examples of a conflict and remind the recipient that if any perceived conflict should arise before the next annual questionnaire, he/she is to notify the CEO immediately. The internal audit staff reviews these questionnaires and disclosures each year during the audit process.”

“See explanation of process for setting CEO compensation on the below Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b explanation.”

“The Adventist Health System/West board of directors has established a Human Performance (fka Compensation) Committee to oversee the executive compensation program. This committee is composed of independent directors with no conflicts of interest. The committee performs the following functions: recommends a total compensation philosophy to the board; assures compliance with the board-approved philosophy; meets annually to review comparability data from outside consultants; recommends any adjustments to current executive compensation that would be indicated by the data, including salary ranges for the organization's Executive Cabinet; evaluates executive performance against annual goals; recommends appropriate incentive awards to the board for approval; follows a diligent process that meets regulatory requirements for a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness; records committee deliberations and decisions in timely minutes; selects, engages and supervises any consultant hired to advise and provide comparability data.The board-approved executive compensation philosophy specifies that salary ranges will be established for executives with midpoints set at the median of the peer group and having a 50 percent spread (about 20% above and below midpoint) from minimum to maximum. The CEO and Sr Vice Presidents (Executive Cabinet) have a maximum potential incentive of 30 percent of base salary. (This incentive potential is less than the industry norm.) Other executives have a maximum potential incentive of 25 percent of base salary.”
