Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm, reviewed by the VP of Finance, and then provided to all board members to review and question for a reasonable amount time before officially filing.
There is annual written affirmation of the "conflict of interest policy" by each board member. The CEO is accountable to the board. All Vice Presidents are under the oversight of the CEO. All staff level below Vice Presidents report to the supervisor and the appropriate Vice President.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
The Personnel Committee uses compensation data from "Compensation Resources" to help determine appropriate salary & benefits for the President. For this last year, the organization also engaged SIMA, an executive recruiter, to help set the compensation package for the new President. That information is then shared with the full board, and the full board approves the full compensation for the President. Comparative data is gathered from an independent firm that provides salary survey information. Officers' salaries are determined and approved by the CEO and other salaries determined by department Vice President. The Board determines the salary of the CEO. Approval of the CEO's compensation is recorded in the board minutes.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
The financial statements are available upon request. The conflict of interest and governing documents are not open to the public.Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19
