NASWA has a structured conflict of interest process, which includes the following steps: (1) identification of the financial, business or personal interest in conflict with NASWA interest; (2) disclosure of the conflict to the President of the Board, Executive Director, and Executive Committee of the Board; and (3) discussion of any impact on NASWA and possible remedial actions or mitigations withe legal counsel, if necessary. Remedial actions may include the creation of firewalls in the Board member's work, recusal from a business decision or transaction involving NASWA or the other organization, withdrawal from the other organization's business, and/or other actions that eliminate the conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees | There are two methods of determining compensation for employees. For a majority of the staff, the President of NASWA's Board, a non-salaried position, reviews the salaries and determines the annual salary of most employees at the beginning of the calendar year. The president is provided with salary comparisons of related jobs in the industry (usually the Federal General Schedule and an independent analysis/salary survey by a compensation firm). The president may consult other Board members at his/her discretion. Other staff members work for a subset of Center for Employment Security Education and Research (CESER), the Information Technology Support Center (ITSC). ITSC staff have their compensation determined by the ITSC Steering Committee (ITSC STCO). ITSC STCO manages and determines grant and project funding for a majority of the projects for CESER. The president of the Board reviews the ITSC staff salaries but has no input to the salary level. The president of the Board determines the bonuses for all staff with suggestions provided by the Executive Director. |
