ALL DISCLOSURES ARE GIVEN TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THEN TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS IF THE INDIVIDUAL DISPUTES THE DECISION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. IN ANY MATTER REQUIRING A DECISION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN WHICH A PARTICIPATING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR AN OFFICER HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE MATERIAL FACTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S INTEREST ARE DISCLOSED AND THE TRANSACTION APPROVED BY THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS ON THE BOARD OR ON THE COMMITTEE CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF MEMBERS WHO HAVE NO DIRECT OR INDIRECT INTEREST IN THE TRANSACTION. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, INCLUDING THE CHAIRMAN, TREASURER, AND COUNSEL IN ADDITION TO OTHERS, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE BUDGET FOR SALARIES IS SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED BY THE FULL BOARD. HAVING BEEN WITH THE ORGANIZATION FOR MANY YEARS, THE CURRENT PRESIDENT/CEO HAS A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION, AND HAS EXPERIENCE IN ALMOST EVERY STAFF FUNCTION WITH THE ABILITY TO RE-TRAIN NEW STAFF OR PERSONALLY PERFORM MOST OF THOSE DUTIES, AS NEEDED. SINCE THE IRTS HAS A SMALL STAFF, THIS LEVEL OF EXPERTISE IS CRITICAL TO FACILITATING OUR PROGRAMS IN A TIMELY AND EFFICIENT WAY. FOR THAT REASON, THE EXECUTIVE BOARD HAS BEEN SECURING THE SERVICES OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO VIA CONTRACT TO INSURE LONGEVITY. A DETERMINATION ON COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT/CEO IS MADE BY CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING FACTORS: -INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION COMPARISONS -ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS -RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE UNIQUE WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
