At each board and committee meeting, if there is a discussion of selecting or engaging a vendor or service provider, all in attendance are asked to recuse themselves from this discussion if there could be a perceived conflict.

The organization does not currently have any paid officers or employees. However, a compensation policy is in place that would require the board as a whole, or the executive committee to review the compensation for all officers or key employees by comparing their compensation to the compensation of individuals in like positions, in comparable organizations using forms 990, compensation studies, and other available data. The board or committee would then approve any changes to the compensation agreement based on this information. |
