Is the chair of the board directly or indirectly compensated?
The definitions for compensation are as follows. If the board chair fits either definition, the answer to this question would be "Yes."
- directly compensated voting members of the board are those who receive payments (cash and/or in-kind) from the organization (e.g., paid staff member, paid consultant, etc.)
- indirectly compensated voting members of the board are those who are direct family members (e.g., spouse, parent, sibling, and child) of any of the directly compensated individuals noted above
