A DISCLOSURE FORM IS COMPLETED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEMBERS AND KEY STAFF ANNUALLY FOLLOWING THIS BOARD REVIEW. FORMS ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD CHAIR AND PRESIDENT FOR CONFLICTS SO MEMBERS AND KEY STAFF MAINTAIN THE PLEDGE MADE IN THEIR DISCLOSURE FORM. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility of setting the President's salary to a Committee that includes the Immediate Past Chair, the Current Chair and the Vice Chair of the Board ("Committee"). Each year, the Committee evaluates the President on his/her performance, and asks for his/her input on matters of performance and compensation. Board Approval. The Committee will obtain research and information and approve compensation (salary and benefits) of the President based on a review of comparability data. For example, the Committee will secure data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions at similar agencies. This data may include the following: 1) Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources; 2) Written job offers for positions at similar agencies; 3) Documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and for-profit agencies; 4) Information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar agencies. Concurrent Documentation. To approve the compensation for the President, the Committee must document how it reached its decisions, including the data on which it relied, in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. Documentation will include: 1) A description of the compensation and benefits and the date it was approved; 2) The members of the Committee who were present during the discussion about compensation and benefits, and the results of the vote; 3) A description of the comparability data relied upon and how the data was obtained; and 4) Any actions taken (such as abstaining from discussion and vote) with respect to consideration of the compensation by anyone who is otherwise a member of the board but who had a conflict of interest with respect to the decision on the compensation and benefits. Independence in Setting Compensation. The Chair of the Board of Directors, who is a volunteer and not compensated by the Nonprofit, will operate independently without undue influence from the President. No member of the Committee will be a staff member, the relative of a staff member, or have any relationship with staff that could present a conflict of interest. |
