In the face of the Coronavirus pandemic, we became a rapid response organization overnight. Our Membership base grew from 550 Members to 760 Members in 2 months. Our primary in-person support initiative moved to digital, increasing our usage of technology platforms. Two new Covid-response initiatives emerged from consistent crises affecting refugee and migrant communities: direct financial assistance for rent and utility assistance, and Neighborhood Support Circles, in-home scholastic support for children who, due to their school's language barriers, were not able to access nor participate in their new virtual learning environments |

Staff and Directors sign the policy annually. The Board revisits the policy annually to determine if there are any situations with potential for a conflict of interest. If a conflict of interest is suspected, the Board will hold a group discussion of the potential conflict without the Director or staff present, and will hold a vote. This is documented in the Board minutes |

The organization's Compensation Program establishes the organizations' compensation philosophy and metrics for determining pay positions within established salary bands. For salary bands, the organization sets the market median (50% percentile) as its targeted position, based upon weighting of three variables: (1) current year operating budget, (2) field of work, and (3) geographic region. Employees fall above, at, or below the median depending on fit within the experience, expertise and performance Quartiles, and via annual performance reviews. Compensation for organization's key employees - the Executive Director and the Program Manager - are determined through the Compensation Program's framework. The process was undertaken for the Executive Director in 2018 and was undertaken for the Program Manager in 2019. |
