Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1
The Board of Directors shall elect from its own body an Executive Committee of five or more which shall have and exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors while the Board of Directors is not in meeting. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall serve as chair and shall be a voting member of the Committee. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, a majority of the voting members of the Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the act of a majority of the members of the Executive Committee shall be the act of the Committee. Each member of the Executive Committee shall continue as such until the next annual meeting of the Foundation and until a successor is appointed, unless such member shall be sooner removed from such Executive Committee, or unless such member shall cease to qualify as a member thereof. Action taken by the Executive Committee shall be made a matter of record and the Secretary of the Foundation shall serve ex officio as Secretary of the Executive Committee. A written report of the action taken by the Executive Committee shall be made at the next meeting of the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4
The Foundation made several changes to the organization's bylaws. These changes are summarized below. The bylaws were ammended to explicitly state that all Honorary members of the Board are ex-officio with no voting rights. The bylaws were ammended to included language that the Development committee must have at least 5 members. The bylaws were ammended to reflect the Investment Policy committee will oversee management of the Foundation's endowment fund and other assets and adds more specifics about what must be shared with the full board on a regular basis (net return, asset allocation, etc). The bylaws had previously stated the Investment Policy committee would oversee and manage the endowment pool and other assets. The Chief Investment Officer (CIO) was added as a person who can execute all agreements, contracts for goods and services, contracts, leases, titles, deeds, and other instruments to convey real or personal property to which the Foundation is a party. The CIO was granted authorization to execute all documents necessary to effectuate transactions consistent with the Investment Policy Statement and Investment Policy Committee Governance Policy Statement, including but not limited to, the selection of and designation of amounts to be invested with external investment managers and advisors. The Funds and Investment Articles of the bylaws were ammended to reflect the Board of Directors has delegated to the CIO of the Foundation, reporting to the President of the Foundation, all such duties and responsibilities as it deems necessary to implement successfully the investment policy of the Foundation.

The Compensation Committee (Committee) uses comparability data that is prepared by or commented upon by a competent professional. The data refelcts similar organizations and/or entities from which the Foundation may attract executive talent and provides compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions. The President of the Foundation may assume the task of collecting the data and using it, along with a Foundation philosophy/strategy regarding compensation to make recommendations to be approved by the Committee for compensation packages of any disqualified person except him/herself. The Committe should review the information presented, consider the recommendation of the President and debate the issues of compensation for each individual openly and should, thereafter, make a decision by voting. The Committee reviews compensation of all disqualified persons including all employees who have substantial influence over the affairs of the organization. Substantial influence is defined as having ultimate responsibility for implementing the decisions of the governing body or for supervising the management, administration, or operation of the organization. These positions include the President, the Secretary/Senior Vice President, the employed Assistant Treasurers, and all Senior Vice Presidents.
