Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a
According to the College's by-laws, five Trustees known as Alumna Trustees, shall be elected by the alumnae in accordance with the by-laws of the Alumnae Association. One Alumna Trustee shall be elected each year to serve for a period of five years. In addition, the President of the Alumnae Association shall serve as a sixth Alumna Trustee during her three-year term of office. The election of Trustees, other than Alumnae Trustees, may be held at any regular or special meeting provided that written notice of such election, including the names of nominees, has been made at least seven days prior to the meeting. Nominations shall be made by the Nominating and Governance Committee. A two-thirds vote of the Trustees present at a duly called meeting shall be necessary for election of a Trustee.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b
Annual review of the College's Form 990 is delegated to the Audit Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing the sections of the Form 990 that pertain to compensation and reporting back to the Audit Committee. This process permits the group of Trustees (the Audit Committee) who are most knowledgeable to review the document on behalf of the entire Board. The Audit Committee reports their findings to the Board of Trustees and the complete copy of the Form 990 is provided to each member prior to filing.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c
The College requires each member of the Board of Trustees to complete and file a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form with the Secretary of the Board of Trustees annually. If the Trustee does not return the form then the Assistant to the Board of Trustees sends a second form for completion. If that is not returned, then the Trustee is asked to complete and submit the form at the next Board of Trustees meeting. In addition, each officer and key employee is asked to complete and file a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form annually. The Vice President for Finance and Administration ensures that the completed forms are returned by all officers and key employees. The information on the submitted forms is summarized by the Vice President for Finance and Administration who provides a copy of the summary to the Audit Committee annually. The Audit Committee reviews the information disclosed and advises the President and the Chair of the Board as to potential conflicts. The Audit Committee may, at its discretion, delegate this annual review to the Chair of the Committee. By signing the Annual Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form, each individual agrees to answer any questions that Board members may have about potential conflicts.

Annually, the Human Resources Department assembles comparative salary data for all senior/executive positions at the College including: President and all Vice Presidents (Vice President for Academic Affairs/Dean of the Faculty, Vice President for Finance and Administration, Vice President for Advancement/Development, Vice President of Student Affairs/Dean of the College, and Vice President for Enrollment and College Relations) and the Assistant/Senior Advisor to the President. This process was last undertaken in May 2011 for each of the positions mentioned above. Salary data for these executive positions is compiled from the Administrative Compensation Survey conducted annually by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) and assembled and analyzed using several views (25th and 75th percentiles, median, and mean) for salary data from all private independent institutions by comparable budget quartile as Mount Holyoke College, and from a selection of participating Consortium on Financing Higher Education (COFHE) institutions. In addition, Mount Holyoke College participates in a survey on executive total compensation which is conducted annually by a third party compensation consultant (currently conducted by the Pierson Group). Twenty-five of the College's peer institutions also participate in this survey. Salary data from this survey is analyzed in a similar fashion to the CUPA-HR data. This salary data, along with salaries of current Mount Holyoke College incumbents, is assembled and shared with the Chair of the Board of Trustees and with the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The data is then presented to the full Nominating and Governance Committee for discussion and decision on what salary adjustments, if any, will be recommended and brought to the full Board for a vote at their executive session. The Chair of the Board of Trustees is responsible for the oversight of the review of performance of the President. The President is responsible for oversight of performance management for the Vice Presidents. With regard to the President's compensation, in addition to comparative salary data, the Human Resources Department also assembles a summary report of Presidential "total" compensation. This report is also reviewed by and discussed with the Nominating and Governance Committee and shared with the entire Board at their executive session.
