The Conflict of Interest Policy states the following: All NMDP Members must disclose to the Executive Committee all conflicts of interest and business and family relationships and must annually complete and return to the Executive Committee the questionnaire, which is a part of this Policy. Whenever in the course of events an NMDP Member's circumstances change such that the NMDP Member knows or has reason to believe that the NMDP Member may have an actual or perceived conflict of interest, such NMDP Member shall promptly disclose the potential conflict to the Executive Committee. As noted herein, if the potential conflict involves a Director, that Director shall not participate in or vote upon such matters until the question of the existence of the conflict of interest has been resolved by the Executive Committee in accordance with this Policy. Likewise, an officer or key employee may not become substantially involved in decision-making involving any covered litigation, contract or transaction until the Executive Committee resolves the conflict of interest question. The existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest turns on the specific facts and circumstances in each case. If an NMDP Member has an interest which may conflict with those of the NMDP, he or she must immediately disclose the matters and discuss them fully and frankly with the Executive Committee as set forth in detail below. An NMDP Member must not participate in any matter in which that the NMDP Member may have a conflict of interest without the express approval of the NMDP Executive Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
The NMDP Bylaws state: The Compensation Committee shall be comprised of independent directors not receiving compensation from the corporation other than reimbursement for expenses, and shall include the Board officers, including the Chair, and at least one non-officer Board member. All Compensation Committee members shall be members of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee shall conduct the Chief Executive Officer Performance Evaluation, and utilizing, among other things, comparability data, make Chief Executive Officer compensation and benefit recommendations to the Executive Committee. The Compensation Committee shall also advise the Chief Executive Officer in the evaluation and compensation of and benefits for senior corporation employees, as well as the President of any affiliate of the corporation reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. In addition to these responsibilities, the Compensation Committee shall perform the functions and responsibilities detailed in the Compensation Committee Section of the Council and Committee Policies document. The NMDP Council & Committee Policies state: The Compensation Committee's Function and Responsibilities. Conduct CEO performance evaluation, make CEO compensation and benefit recommendations utilizing, among other things, comparability data to the Executive Committee and advise the CEO in the evaluation and compensation of senior NMDP employees, as well as the President of any affiliate of NMDP reporting to the CEO. Review the overall compensation and benefit structure of the NMDP. Review the compensation and benefits of key employees utilizing, among other things, comparability data for compliance with IRS Intermediate Sanction rules.
