Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Morton Arboretum requires that all trustees, employees, and volunteers disclose and declare any personal, familial, or business relationships, situations, or activities that have the potential to create a conflict of interest or the perception of a conflict of interest. For trustees and employees, the declaration must be renewed annually or when applicable changes in status occur. The Arboretum supplies a Conflict of Interest Declaration form to all trustees and employees for this purpose. Volunteers are informed of this policy at the onset of their service, in the published volunteer handbook, and in periodic communications. For all trustees, employees, and volunteers, relationships or situations that arise that may create or appear to create a conflict of interest must be brought to the attention of the President or the Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

The compensation of other officers and key employees is reviewed by the compensation committee of the Board.
