FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11B
THE FORM 990 IS BEING PREPARED BY A THIRD PARTY PREPARER, WITH AN INITIAL REVIEW OF THE FORM 990 BEING COMPLETED BY THE BUSINESS MANAGER, CFO AND CEO OF THE ORGANIZATION. NEXT, A FINAL COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS SENT TO THE ENTIRE BOARD AFTER PRESENTATION OF THE FORM 990 TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE PRIOR TO THE RETURN BEING FILED WITH THE IRS.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C
The AFAAC has a written conflict of interest policy in its Bylaws stating that no board member, Committee member, Officer, agent, or employee of AFAAC may participate in any manner, directly or indirectly, in the deliberation upon or the determination of any question affecting his or her pecuniary or personal interest or the pecuniary interest of any corporation, partnership, or corporation (other than AFAAC) in which he or she is directly or indirectly interested. In the event of the disqualification of any Board member respecting any matter presented to the Board for deliberation or determination, that Board member must withdraw from the deliberation or determination; and if the remaining qualified Board members present at the meeting, plus the disqualified Board member or Board members constitute a quorum, the remaining qualified Board members, may exercise with respect to this matter, by majority vote, all the powers of the Board. In the event of the disqualification of any member of the Audit Committee, that Committee member must withdraw from the deliberation or determination. Participation by government employees in the oversight of AFAAC is authorized to protect the interests of the United States Air Force. Participation by government employees on the Board of Directors or in oversight roles is not generally a conflict of interest by virtue of their Federal employment, unless, in a particular matter, participation by a government employee creates a direct conflict with his or her own financial interests. Except for the exchange and acceptance of gifts of minimal intrinsic value between individuals, no Board member or individual supporting the corporation may accept personal gifts as a result of their participation in activities of the corporation. Beginning in fiscal year 2015, all officers, board of directors and key employees of the organization (identified by management) will be required to annually sign a conflict of interest agreement.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15A
The AFAAC has written employment contracts with its highest paid employees for services such as coaching, recruiting and athletic administration support. The Bylaws state that board members shall receive no monetary compensation for their Board duties other than reimbursement for Board related expenses. As of the filing of this return, the CEO's compensation is reviewed annually by the board of directors. The board will purchase comparability data or engage a firm to assess comparable compensation for this position and vote on the new compensation agreement. The agreement will be documented in the board minutes in a timely manner after the new arrangement is agreed upon. The CEO will recuse them self from the process to ensure the process is free from any conflicts of interest.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15B
The AFAAC has written employment contracts with its highest paid employees for services such as coaching, recruiting and athletic administration support. The AFAAC has written employment contracts with all coaches in football and select coaches in men's and women's basketball, volleyball, hockey and selected key leadership positions. Terms will be negotiated using current fair market value and standard contracts for similar positions at other NCAA institutions as a guide. Fair market value will be determined by consulting current Division I salaries at other institutions throughout the conference and the NCAA. These salaries are published annually by the Division IA Athletic Director's Association as well as the Mountain West Conference.
