| Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12c | EFC maintains a Conflict of Interest Policy that covers the Board of Directors and all EFC employees. In general, a conflict of interest is a circumstance in which a reasonable person would perceive a Board or a staff members judgment to be compromised. A conflict of interest may also include situations in which a Board or staff member has a private or personal interest sufficient to appear to influence the objective exercise of his or her official duties. If personal pursuits create obligations or interests that are not compatible with EFC objectives or responsibilities, a conflict of interest arises. The policy covers a broad spectrum of areas where potential conflicts could occur, including but not limited to: outside financial interest; outside employment; relations with members and suppliers; relations with government officials; holding public office; corporate gifts; and procurement. When a conflict of interest, or a reasonable appearance of one, cannot be avoided, depending upon who has the potential conflict Board, staff, or president the policy addresses the appropriate channels and procedures for reporting a potential conflict, who will be involved in the discussion of the issue and the potential conflict, and who will decide how to deal with the reported conflict. |
| CEO executive director top management comp Part VI line 15a | In determining the presidents salary and compensation package, the EFC Board of Directors periodically examines comparative data of organizations in the greater Washington, DC area that are similarly structured, sized, and purposed. The Board also annually reviews the presidents performance based on established criteria of success, and provides an annual review of, and adjustment of, the presidents base salary as well as any potential performance-based bonus awards. In 2023, EFC retained the services of a compensation consultant to perform a comparative analysis of the presidents salary and provide recommendations to the Board of Directors. |
| Other officer or key employee compensation Part VI line 15b | The president determines employee compensation based on performance reviews and comparative data. The Board reviews and approves the compensation and benefits package through the budgeting process. In 2023, EFC retained the services of a compensation consultant to perform a comparative analysis of employee salaries and provide the president and the Board of Directors with recommendations. In addition, in September 2022, the EFC Board of Directors approved a revised Annual Employee Bonus Plan (Plan), that is designed to provide an effective means to motivate and compensate eligible employees, on an annual basis, through cash award bonuses based on the achievement of business performance objectives within the fiscal year. The compensation contemplated under this Plan is considered payment for success in that any payout under the Plan is subject to the achievement of specific performance goals by EFC staff. The Plan is intended to be EFCs primary vehicle for the granting of bonuses. However, EFCs Board of Directors may, in certain limited circumstances, grant bonuses outside of this program, at is sole discretion. |
