The methodology used in the process has been reviewed by our external CPA firm and other qualified consultants for completeness and reasonableness. The form is then made available for review by any board members that wish to review it prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The board-adopted Conflict of Interest Policy is reviewed annually with all board members and key staff. Each of these individuals completes a survey annually on which they are to disclose any situation that might give rise to any actual or perceived conflicts as defined in the policy. These surveys are reviewed by the leadership and key staff of the organization who are involved in reviewing all financial transactions of the organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The board of directors of the organization hires the President/CEO. This person is then reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition to performance against established measurements, this review includes an analysis of compensation. In making this analysis, the committee obtains comparable compensation data from multiple sources, including national industry surveys, local HR consultants, and industry executive placement sources. Based then on performance and comparable industry data, the committee sets the President's compensation for the coming year. The compensation of other key employees is then established by the President utilizing industry comparison data as well, within guidelines established by the Board-approved operating budget.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 In general, other than as required by IRS regulations, the organization does not routinely make its governing documents and internal policies available to the general public.
