Changes made relate to (1) clarifications to the Chair length of service, (2) removal of a "secret ballot" to elect the Chair-elect, (3) designation of the CAO as a non-voting ex officio member of the Accreditation Council and Standards Council (instead of the President and CEO) and can assign a designee in their place for these councils/committees, and (4) removal of artifact items that are no longer relevant after the change to a self-perpetuating Board that was approved in November 2022. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The organization has one class of corporate members. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b The members of the Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) each have an equal vote on amendments to Article X of the bylaws, which discusses the voluntary dissolution of CAHME, as well as other matters in which the board elicits a vote from the corporate members. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants. A copy of the Form 990 was submitted to each member of the board prior to filing. If the timing is such that the filing will come after the scheduled board meeting, the opportunity for questions are given at the meeting. If the timing is such that the filing will come prior to the scheduled board meeting, an invitation to send questions to the staff regarding the 990 is given with the distribution of the draft. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Any member of the board, officer, director or key member of staff of CAHME is required to disclose to the board of directors, either through an annual process or whenever the individual becomes aware of, any direct or indirect relationship with any individual or organization that CAHME has a business relationship with. The concerned individual refrains from participating in discussions or voting on matters related to that organization or individual. If a conflict of interest arises, an appropriate disinterested person or committee will investigate alternatives to the business transactions, and after due diligence, if no alternative solutions are found, the board of directors determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction is in CAHME's best interest and is fair and reasonable to CAHME. This process is documented in the executive committee minutes. If the board of directors has reasonable cause to believe that an officer or director has failed to disclose possible conflicts of interest, it initially gives the individual the opportunity to explain the failure to disclose such conflicts of interest; after which the board of directors can decide whether to further investigate any potential violations and proceed with appropriate disciplinary action. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The executive committee of the board performs the duty of compensation committee for the CEO of the organization. The executive committee reviews the performance of the CEO annually. A salary survey and comparison of CEOs in other accreditation organizations is used as the guideline for the CEO's compensation. This was documented and last performed in July, 2022. A salary survey and comparison of staff compensation in other accreditation organizations is used as the guideline for CAHME's staff compensation. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 CAHME's bylaws are available on the organization's website. The annual financial statements are included in the organization's communications once a year, which is distributed to all accredited programs, volunteers, corporate members, and other persons who have expressed an interest in receiving CAHME information.
