| F990_P06_S0A_L07a | Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a | The NCJFCJ members with voting privileges include judicial members (Active members) and past presidents (Life members). The Nominating Committee recommends candidates to the Voting members. Voting members elect the Board of Trustees at the Annual Conference of Members by majority vote. In the event of a tie, the President, or the President's designee, shall make the decision. If an office of Trustee becomes vacant, the vacancy may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining Trustees until the next Annual Conference, at which time the vacancy will be voted upon by the members with other open Trustee positions to fill the remainder of the unexpired term. The Voting members shall have the right to fill such unexpired term of office (whether or not the same had been temporarily filled by the remaining Trustees) at any meeting of the Members called for that purpose. Any person may, in recognition of outstanding service and contribution to the furtherance of the purposes of this Council, be elected an Honorary Member of the Council upon recommendation of the Board of Trustees and approval at the next annual meeting of the members entitled to vote. |
| F990_P06_S0A_L07b | Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b | Voting members vote on the following items: Bylaw amendments are submitted to the Governance Committee, and proposed to the Board of Trustees at their next meeting. Amendments approved by the Board of Trustees are then presented to the Membership at their next annual meeting. Provided a quorum is present, Bylaws amendments will be considered effective if two-thirds (2/3) of voting members approve. All Extraordinary Transactions (as defined below) must be authorized and approved by a majority of both (1) the Board of Trustees, and (2) the Voting Members at a meeting called for such purpose where a quorum is present. For purposes of these Bylaws, the term "Extraordinary Transactions" shall mean each of the following: (a) the adoption of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, (b) the adoption of Amended Articles of Incorporation, (c) a lease, exchange, transfer, mortgage or other disposition of all, or substantially all, the assets of the Council (provided, that the Trustees shall have the power to abandon such proposed sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition, subject to the contract rights of third persons, if such power of abandonment is conferred upon the Trustees by the terms of transaction or by the same vote of the voting Members and at the same or any subsequent meeting of the voting Members at which the transaction is authorized by the Members), (d) any merger or consolidation of the Council into another corporation, provided, however that the surviving or new corporation, as the case may be, resulting from such merger or consolidation must be a corporation, either domestic or foreign, organized for charitable and/or educational purposes, (e) confession of a judgment against the Council, (f) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or filing of a voluntary petition under the federal Bankruptcy Code or state insolvency law on behalf of the Council, (g) an action in contravention of these Bylaws or the Council's Articles of Incorporation, and (h) approval of the voluntary dissolution of the Council or revoking proceedings therefore. Policy statements and resolutions represent the official positions of the Council. Resolutions or policy statements presented to the Board but not passed by a two-thirds majority of the Board of Trustees, are presented to the membership at the annual meeting and will be adopted by a majority vote. Recommendations to support legislation shall be adopted if approved by a majority vote of the voting members of the Board of Trustees. If the recommendation is adopted by less than a two-thirds vote of the entire Board of Trustees, a motion by three or more Trustees may request that the matter be submitted to a vote by the membership of NCJFCJ. A majority vote of the members voting shall adopt the legislative recommendation. |
| F990_P06_S0B_L11b | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) prepares a timeline for preparation and review of the Form 990 and presents it to the Board of Trustees at its meeting subsequent to the issuance of the audited financial reports. Also at that time, the CFO makes a presentation that addresses any changes that may have occurred in reporting requirements since the last filing. The Form 990 is prepared based on the audited financial statements. Typically due to timing, an extension of time to file is needed to ensure a complete and accurate return. The return is prepared by the CFO and forwarded to the independent accountants for review. The Form 990 is then sent electronically for all members of the Board of Trustees to review and comment. Approximately a week is allotted for Board review prior to the filing of the return electronically with the Internal Revenue Service. |

The Chief Executive Officer shall make the determination as to whether in any given situation recusal will be sufficient to mitigate the apparent or actual conflict of interest. In the case of an apparent or actual conflict of interest involving the Chief Executive Officer, such determinations will be made by the President of the NCJFCJ. In the case of an apparent or actual conflict of interest involving Officers, Trustee members, or committee members, such determinations will be made by the Audit Committee or National Council Conduct Committee, depending upon the nature of the conflict.

Other Interest: This policy is also intended to cover potential conflicts of interest in hiring or entering into contracts on behalf of the organization where any Officer, Board of Trustee member, committee member, director or employee of the NCJFCJ may have a perceived or actual personal interest in the outcome of the hiring or contracting decision. Article IV. Procedures: 1. Duty to Disclose: In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the appropriate authority. 2. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest: a.

The appropriate authority may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. c. After exercising due diligence, the appropriate authority shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give to a conflict of interest. d.

In conformity with the above determination a decision will be made as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. 3. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy: a.

| F990_P06_S0B_L15 | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | The compensation for the CEO is determined by the President of the Board of Trustees. The President receives input on the amount of compensation from the Executive Committee and Trustees. The Executive Director/CEO determines compensation for the senior management positions within the organization based upon an established compensation plan (the Executive Director/CEO is also covered under the compensation plan). Annually, the Finance Committee reviews comparability data for all senior management positions and makes a presentation of the comparability data to the full Board of Trustees in executive session. The Board then discusses the comparability data and makes a decision with a vote of the full Board of Trustees as to the reasonableness of the organization's executive compensation. The deliberation is contemporaneously substantiated in the written minutes of the meeting. |
