Whistleblower Policy
No Director, officer, or employee who in good faith reports a violation of the organization’s Handbook on Ethics shall suffer harassment, retaliation or adverse employment consequences as a result. Any employee who retaliates against someone who has reported a violation in good faith is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. The policy is intended to encourage and enable employees and others to raise serious concerns within the organization prior to seeking resolution outside the organization.
In most cases, the employee’s supervisor is in the best position to address an area of concern. However, if that is not practical or the employee is not comfortable with that avenue, he/she may talk to anyone in the chain of command including the Foundation President to resolve the issue.
The organization’s compliance officer is responsible for investigating and resolving all reported complaints and allegations concerning violations of the code. Compliance officer duties are assigned to the organization’s Director of Operations. If the compliance officer is unavailable, or would experience a conflict of interest in resolving the case, then compliance officer duties will be accomplished by the organizations Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Anyone filing a complaint concerning a violation or suspected violation must be acting in good faith and have reasonable grounds for believing the information disclosed indicates a violation. Any allegations that prove to not be true and which prove to have been made maliciously and knowingly to be false will be viewed as a serous disciplinary offense.
All violations will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective action will be taken if warranted.
Conflict of Interest Policy
Employees will be required to sign a document annually in January identifying any conflicts of interest that have occurred during the past year.
