| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | The Consortium Director of Operations and Finance, CEO and Board Organizational (finance) committee review the first draft of the 990. The full Board of Directors review the final draft of the 990 prior to submission. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | Board members complete a conflict of interest disclosure annually and any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts are discussed prior to Board meetings where an approval may be made. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a | Prior to hiring the Chief Executive Officer in August 2020, the Consortium compiled data regarding compensation levels for individuals in comparable positions. The Board assessed the comparability data prior to determining the compensation offered to the preferred candidate. The Board also relied on a number of other factors in making its determination regarding the CEOs compensation: 1) the experience of numerous Board members working in nonprofit and governmental entities to ensure that the compensation being offered to the CEO was consistent with the range of compensation and benefits provided to the head of similar organizations; and 2) the independent Boards assessment of the CEOs capabilities and qualifications to ensure that the total remuneration opportunity for the Consortium's CEO was within a reasonable range of competitive market practices applicable to like positions among like organizations under like circumstance. The compiled compensation data for comparable positions was documented and is part of the Consortium's corporate record, as are the terms of the employment offer. Additionally, and consistent with Consortium bylaws, a record of all Directors of the Consortium who voted to approve the compensation structure and employment offer for the CEO was recorded and is part of the Consortium's corporate record. In the fall of 2021, the Consortium Board of Directors approved a CEO evaluation process requiring that the committee recommending CEO compensation to the Board of Direction reference benchmark data on CEO compensation and that this data be updated at least once every two years. CEO salary benchmarking data was most recently updated in fall of 2022. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b | The salary and compensation for the Director of Operations and Finance, who also serves as Corporate Secretary was determined by a performance review evaluated by the CEO. |
