Explanation
990 Review Process
Part VI, Question 11A
The form 990 return is prepared by a third party and goes through a detailed review by the controller and CFO of the organization. Once reviewed, the return is then presented to the Audit committee of the board where they conduct a secondary review and recommend the filing of the 990 to the board of directors. Once approval is made, a final copy of the 990 is sent to the board via e-mail and the 990 is filed with the IRS.
Describe how conflict of interest policy is monitored & enforced
Part VI, Question 12c
The organization has a comprehensive corporate compliance program which covers staff and directors. Compliance is monitored through internal audits of billing, medical charting, accounting, and the compliance program itself. The organization educates staff on compliance on an ongoing basis and conducts an annual on-line questionnaire to confirm staff understanding of the program. The program utilizes a hotline for reporting of suspected compliance issues. The hotline is run by a third party vendor and offers anonymity to the reporter. The staff is educated on the hotline's use and access on an ongoing basis and this knowledge is an important part of the annual staff questionnaire. Designated personnel working in areas affecting compliance report to the board of directors' compliance subcommittee on a quarterly basis. The compliance committee reports directly to the board. The conflict of interest policy applies to all board members and to all staff of all companies. The committee or the board may make determinations of whether or not an actual conflict of interest exists. The individual with the conflict cannot participate in the decision making process and is not permitted to vote on the proposed transaction creating the conflict. The subcommittee or the board may investigate any suspected failures to report a conflict and may take appropriate disciplinary action or corrective action. Each year the board of directors is given a compliance report on the previous year's compliance program. Following this presentation, each board member is required to sign an acknowledgement which confirms their understanding of, and agreement with, the organization's conflict of interest policy.
Describe process for determining CEO compensation
Part VI, Question 15a
In 2013, the Sr. Vice President of Human Resources and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviewed the 2013 salary survey data from Economic Research Institute (ERI), Mental Health Corporations of America (MHCA), Mountain States Employers Council (MSEC), and 990's of similar organizations. As this was occurring, our CEO had announced his retirement and the Board used the aforementioned information to establish the salary range for a new CEO. The subsequent hiring of the new CEO included a compensation package within the parameters suggested by the survey data. All discussions related to CEO compensation were held in executive session, so they were not recorded in the Board minutes.
Describe process for determining compensation
Part VI, Question 15b
In 2013, the Sr. Vice President of Human Resources and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviewed the 2013 salary survey data from Economic Research Institute (ERI), Mental Health Corporations of America (MHCA), Mountain States Employers Council (MSEC), and Cejka Search. This information was then presented to the full Board by the Board Chair, along with annual compensation recommendations for the other officers and key employees. These discussions were held in executive session, so they were not recorded in the Board minutes.
Describe how documents are made available to the public
Part VI, Question 19
The organization's financial statements, conflict of interest policy, and governing documents are made available to the public upon request.

DESCRIBE THE EXEMPT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THE ORGANIZATION
FORM 990, PART III, 4A
For the second straight year, the Colorado Springs community was faced with natural disaster. Just as the community was recovering from a devastating forest fire in Black Forest, torrential rains caused flooding on the city's west side, causing millions of dollars of damage to homes and businesses. The tragedies received national attention and images were played on television newscasts and Web sites across the globe for many nights after. The footage of the destruction left behind by these two natural disasters is truly amazing but it's not nearly as amazing as the community's response to the fire and its victims. AspenPointe employees rolled up their sleeves and jumped in with both feet. We attended key community meetings, staffed the disaster recovery center every day, were by victims' sides as they returned to their homes, and we continue to provide assistance long after the rebuilding process has begun. This is one way that AspenPointe continues to be the Provider of Choice for the region, one of the four areas under which we list our accomplishments over the last year. The other three categories are "Community Partner of Choice," "Employer of Choice" and "Sustainability." PROVIDER OF CHOICE - Developed and implemented a five-day-a-week Adult Behavioral Intensive Outpatient Program to encourage and reinforce critical thinking in everyday activities. - Established the AspenPointe Innovation Center to consolidate storage space and provide job training for a variety of occupations, including art framing, product manufacturing, floor cleaning, furniture assembly and construction. - Delivered AspenPointe's first mobile app, a step toward increasing access to care by taking advantage and embracing new technology. - The Peer Navigator Program helped 390 clients and found jobs for 120 individuals. - Created the Healthcare Innovation Team to position AspenPointe for healthcare reform. - Implemented an AspenPointe-wide pain management consultation group. - Contact Center responded to 105,677 inbound calls. - Catalyst Kitchens awarded AspenPointe Caf Model Membership in recognition of the significant and rapid progress the Caf has made in its Culinary Training Program. COMMUNITY PARTNER OF CHOICE - Developed a comprehensive care management solution for Regional Collaborative Care Organization (RCCO) Region 7's most significant challenges around coordination, risk stratification, care planning, engagement and no shows, medication adherence and ED diversion. - Completed and signed a data sharing agreement between AspenPointe, our Behavioral Health Organization, and the RCCO 7 to foster improved care coordination and population health management, oversight for high utilizers and ED diversion. - Increased scope of work and contract amount for YMCA custodial partnership. - Completed integrated care levels of service package and cost sharing model to market AspenPointe solutions and benefits to Primary Care Practices (PCPs). - Operationalized behavioral health integration and services in two large PCPs by embedding behavioral health consultants into a fully integrated model of care. - Joined with the University Of Colorado Bethel School Of Nursing to begin development of a Telecare nursing certification program. EMPLOYER OF CHOICE - Awarded an Adolph Coors Foundation grant for $300,000 over the next three years helping recently separated veterans find jobs. - Thirty-three percent of employees who completed Strategic Talent Management were promoted into higher level positions. - Sixteen potential managers completed AspenPointe's Crossroads Program, which gives emerging leaders a view into the roles, responsibilities, and skills necessary to transition into management roles. - Purchased a Community Bus to provide tours for community members, new employees and for special staff functions. - Produced a series of videos featuring AspenPointe leadership explaining facilities and services for our community tour. Transformed the videos into a virtual community tour for the AspenPointe web site. - Career and Development Services found jobs for 166 clients, the most placements in five years. - The GED program graduated 951 students, the highest amount of any year to date. SUSTAINABILITY - Total catering sales through AspenPointe Cafe eclipsed $238,000 representing almost a 40 percent increase over the previous year. - Awarded a Federal Aviation Administration contract, the first new National Institute for the Severely Handicapped contract for AspenPointe in over six years. - AspenPointe Cafe at Citizens Service Center served nearly 94,400 customers. - Completed, with the help of donors, a 42-foot geodesic dome that will allow AspenPointe to grow an additional 2,700 pounds of food per year in our Community Garden. - Launched a pilot merchandise line made from recycled military parachutes. Sales from the Peer-A-Chute Program will benefit the Peer Navigator Program and employ veterans. - Worked with an award-winning historian/writer to create a book about the history of AspenPointe. Deep Roots is available at select AspenPointe facilities and through online book stores.
