Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Board of Directors annually reviews the conflict of interest policy at its orientation meeting and discloses any potential conflict of interest. All Board of Directors sign a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement and Code of Responsibility annually. The signed documents are reviewed by the Director, Executive Office Relations and kept by the CEO. The COI Policy is always taken into consideration when there is the potential for conflict, particularly when signing new contracts or beginning new relationships. Any possible appearance of conflict of interest that arises in the course of business is researched to determine the existence of a conflict. If a contract is to be made with a related party, it is disclosed to the Board of Directors and a vote is taken to reach a decision. If the Association's staff members identify a conflict of interest, the CEO or CFO shares this information with the Executive Committee of the Board for its action. Involved Board members are precluded from voting on matters for which a conflict exists. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a Key employees are evaluated yearly. The process includes the completion by the supervisor of a performance appraisal instrument, a self appraisal, and comments gathered from employees. The CEO is evaluated by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, lead by the current year President. An evaluation form is completed, a self appraisal, the Capacity Building Model developed by McKinsey & Company is completed, and comments gathered from all Board members and key staff. Compensation is determined using comparability data from the Washington, DC Metro area, the ASAE compensation study of similar positions, and any other available compensation reports that are current. Key employee's compensation is determined by the CEO; the CEO's compensation is determined by the President with input from the Board of Directors.
