Review of form 990 by governing body

PRIOR TO FILING, A FINAL COPY OF THE FULL FORM 990 IS EMAILED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE FORM 990 IS THEN FILED WITH THE IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c
ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, ALL DIRECTORS AND KEY EMPLOYEES ARE ASKED TO SUBMIT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM. ANY BOARD MEMBER OR KEY EMPLOYEE IS ALSO REQUIRED TO UPDATE THEIR FORM AT ANY POINT IN WHICH THEY BECOME AWARE OF A NEW CONFLICT. THESE DISCLOSURES ARE TURNED INTO THE CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER (CP0) OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THEN ARE REVIEWED BY THE PEOPLE SERVICES COUNCIL FOR DETERMINATION AND ENFORCEMENT. IF THERE ARE CONFLICTS REGARDING ANY BUSINESS THAT COMES BEFORE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR A VOTE, THE CONFLICT IS DISCLOSED TO THE BOARD AND THAT PARTICULAR BOARD MEMBER WITH THE CONFLICT DOES NOT VOTE.
Process used to establish compensation of top management official
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAINTAINS THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REVIEWING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. IN 2010 A SIGNIFICANT REVIEW OF APPLICABLE COMPENSATION COMPARATIVE TO SIMILAR POSITIONS IN THE AREA AND IN OTHER Y'S WAS CONDUCTED REGARDING THE CEO POSITION AS THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE POSITION THAT YEAR. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WENT THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE RECRUITMENT PROCESS, EMPLOYED AN OUTSIDE EXPERT TO PERFORM ANALYSIS ON COMPENSATION REASONABLENESS AND TO PROVIDE ALL COMPARATIVE DATA USED TO DETERMINE THE REASONABLENESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. IN 2011 THE CEO (AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR TEAM) TOOK A 5% PAY REDUCTION. THERE WERE NO SUBSEQUENT PERFORMANCE INCREASES ISSUED. IN 2012, THERE WERE ALSO NO PERFORMANCE INCREASES ISSUED AND THE SALARY REDUCTIONS REMAINED IN PLACE. SO, IN LIGHT OF THIS, THE 2010 REASONABLENESS TESTING CONTINUED TO BE RELIED ON.
Process used to establish compensation of other officers/key employees
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b
THE ORGANIZATION USES A FORMAL SALARY ADMINISTRATION PLAN TO ENSURE THAT ALL EMPLOYEES ARE PAID ACCORDING TO FAIR AND UNIFORM PRINCIPLES AND ACTS AS A GUIDE FOR DETERMINING REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION FOR ALL EMPLOYEE POSITIONS INCLUDING OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES; CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER, CHIEF MISSION DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICER, CHIEF BRAND ADVANCEMENT OFFICER AND CHIEF STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AND ASSET OFFICER.
