These members have the right to vote for representatives to their section council, to vote for the section representatives to the Board of Directors, and to vote on resolutions at meetings of the membership. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Three seats on the Board of Directors are selected by the constituent members to represent the two section councils: one seat for the Canadian section and two seats for the United States section. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Upon receipt of a draft form 990 from its accounting and tax firm, the organization provides copies to the audit committee of the Board of Directors to review, upon satisfactory review with the organization management and the audit committee, the final form 990 is provided to the full Board for comment in a timely fashion and then filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each member of NatureServe's Board of Directors and each of its corporate officers annually signs a statement disclosing any and all real, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. In case of any Board member or corporate officer disclosed conflict, the Board (absent the member in question if needed), determines how to resolve the conflict; including: (1) whether the Board member or corporate officer should be removed from the discussion of the matter; and (2) whether the relationship with the individual or entity presenting the conflict should be terminated. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The Executive Committee, a committee composed of independent directors, meets annually to determine what, if any, merit increase is recommended for the CEO, taking into account comparable salary data based on market surveys, and contemporaneously documenting its deliberation and decision-making in writing. The Executive Committee then recommends the salary to the Board and the independent Board members then vote to adjust the salary, contemporaneously documenting their deliberation and decision-making in writing. The review took place in January 2022. When key employees are hired, the President/CEO uses comparable salary survey information to determine their annual compensation. Merit increases, if any, for these individuals are determined by the President/CEO on an annual basis. Comparable salary survey information is obtained through a subscription to compensation analytics from an independent software provider. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The organization has a public disclosure policy which states that the organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, form 990 and financial statements are to be made available to the public upon written request. Form 990 and financial statements are also available on the organization's website.
