Return ReferencePart VI, Question 11bReturnReference
ExplanationDescribe the Process the Organization Used to Review The Form 990: On an annual basis, the Chairman of the Board and the audit committee review the Form 990 prior to filing. At a subsequent Board of Director and/or Personnel Policy Committee meeting, the relevant Form 990 information is reviewed including the compensation schedules, and the conflicts of interest questionnaires are completed by each Director. Part VI, Question 12c Description of Process to Monitor Transactions for Conflicts of Interest: Annually, Directors and Officers sign a conflict of interest document which discloses any conflicts. The signed documents are reviewed annually by the Chairman of the Board. If a disclosed conflict occurs, the individual abstains from discussion and voting on topics where a conflict of interest exists. All Directors, Officers and employees are subject to the Human Resources Code of Ethics to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards of business conduct. Part VI, Questions 15a & 15b Process for determining compensation: The compensation of the CEO and all of the Officers is determined annually by the Personnel Policy Committee of the Board of Directors. The CEO is routinely excused and abstains from discussion and/or voting on any matters related to his own compensation and benefits. The Personnel Policy Committee's report is submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. The decisions are documented in the Board minutes. Every two to three years, an independent compensation study is performed. Part VI, Question 19 Governing Documents, Conflict of Interest Policy, and Finanical statements: Federal tax law does not require that such documents be made publicly available. Documents are available upon specific request.
