Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Board of Directors annually reviews the conflict of interest policy at its orientation meeting and discloses any potential conflict of interest. All members of the Board of Directors sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement and code of responsibility annually. The signed documents are reviewed by the directors, executive office relations, and kept on file by SLA. The conflict of interest policy is always taken into consideration when there is the potential for conflict, particularly when signing new contracts or beginning new relationships. Any possible appearance of conflict of interest that arises in the course of business is researched to determine the existence of a conflict. If a contract is to be made with a related party, it is disclosed to the Board of Directors and a vote is taken to reach a decision. If the Association's staff members identify a conflict of interest, management shares this information with the Executive Committee of the board for its action. Involved board members are precluded from voting on matters for which a conflict exists.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aKey employees are evaluated yearly. The process includes the completion by the supervisor of a performance appraisal instrument, a self-appraisal, and comments gathered from employees. Top management positions are evaluated by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, led by the current year President. An evaluation form is completed, a self-appraisal, the capacity building model developed by McKinsey & Company is completed, and comments gathered from all board members and key staff. Compensation is determined using comparability data from the Washington, DC metro area, the ASAE compensation stufy of similiar positions, and any other available compensation reports that are current.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Federal Form 990, all governing documents, conflict of interest policies, financial statements, and all policy and practice documents are available upon request.
