Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 SINCE ITS FOUNDING AT THE 1964-65 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, THE NEW YORK HALL OF SCIENCE (NYSCI) HAS INSPIRED MORE THAN 7 MILLION PEOPLE - CHILDREN, TEACHERS AND FAMILIES -BY OFFERING CREATIVE, PARTICIPATORY WAYS TO LEARN AND ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO EXPLORE THEIR CURIOSITY AND NURTURE THEIR CREATIVITY. LOCATED IN QUEENS, THE MOST ETHNICALLY DIVERSE COUNTY IN THE COUNTRY, NYSCI WELCOMES 500,000 VISITORS EACH YEAR AND SERVES THOUSANDS MORE THROUGH OUTREACH IN SCHOOLS, TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND A VARIETY OF EVENTS, PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH INITIATIVES. NYSCI ENGAGES PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND EXPERIENCES, PARTICULARLY YOUNG PEOPLE IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM) BY FOSTERING THE EXCITEMENT OF SELF-DIRECTED EXPLORATION AND BY TAPPING INTO THE JOY OF LEARNING INTRINSIC IN PLAY. NYSCI IS ALSO COMMITTED TO TRAINING AND SUPPORTING K-12 SCIENCE TEACHERS, RECOGNIZING AND RESPECTING THE CRITICAL ROLE EDUCATORS PLAY IN SPARKING AND MAINTAINING STUDENTS' LIFELONG LOVE OF SCIENCE. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, NYSCI HAS EMBRACED A PHILOSOPHY CALLED DESIGN-MAKE-PLAY. DESIGN EMPHASIZES INTENTIONALITY IN PROBLEM SOLVING AND HELPS PEOPLE SEE THE POSSIBILITIES IN THE WORLD; MAKE HIGHLIGHTS HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH MATERIALS, TOOLS AND PROCESSES AND NURTURES THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE; PLAY PROMOTES INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND DEEP ENGAGEMENT. THESE DESIGN-MAKE-PLAY CHARACTERISTICS ARE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES UNDERSCORED IN THE COMMON CORE MATH AND NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS, AND ARE DYNAMIC VEHICLES FOR CULTIVATING THE KINDS OF CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING THAT EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR IN THEIR 21ST CENTURY WORKFORCES. NYSCI'S VISION IS REALIZED IN THREE INTERCONNECTED WAYS: 1) THROUGH THE MUSEUM AS A VITAL PLACE FOR LEARNING, 2) THROUGH PRODUCTS THAT EXTEND LEARNING BEYOND THE WALLS OF THE MUSEUM, AND 3) THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS THAT ENHANCE NYSCI'S IMPACT ON STEM LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT IN PEOPLE'S DAY-TO-DAY LIVES , IN THE CLASSROOM, IN THE WORKPLACE, AND IN THEIR HOMES.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER ALAN SINSHEIMER AND BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER SETH DUBIN HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER GEORGE CAMPBELL IS A DIRECTOR AT CON EDISON WHERE BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBERS MARY KELLY AND CLAUDE TRAHAN ARE EXECUTIVES. BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER GEORGE CAMPBELL AND BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER NICHOLAS DONOFRIO BOTH SERVE AS TRUSTEES ON THE BOARD OF THE MITRE CORPORATION. BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER KURT WOETZEL IS A SENIOR EXECUTIVE VP AND CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER OF BANK OF NY MELLON ON WHOSE BOARD NYSCI BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER NICHOLAS DONOFRIO SERVES.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER ENGAGED AN EXTERNAL ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE FORM 990. THE FIRST DRAFT WAS REVIEWED WITH SENIOR MANAGEMENT. FORM 990 WAS THEN PROVIDED TO EACH VOTING MEMBER ELECTRONICALLY VIA EMAIL FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT BEFORE FILING. THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER COORDINATED DISTRIBUTION TO THE BOARD, AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, RESPONDED TO COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS. FORM 990 WAS FILED AFTER REVIEW AND COMMENT BY THE BOARD.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C NYSCI'S TRANSPARENCY POLICY INTRODUCTION THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IMPOSES PENALTY TAXES IF NYSCI WERE TO ENTER INTO AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION WITH A TRUSTEE OR OFFICER OF NYSCI OR WITH ANYONE ELSE WHO, DURING THE PRIOR FIVE YEARS, HAS BEEN IN A POSITION TO EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE AFFAIRS OF NYSCI. A SIMILAR CONCERN ABOUT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ALSO INFORMS THE NEW YORK NOT-FOR-PROFIT LAW PROVISIONS ABOUT CONTRACTS INVOLVING NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS. NYSCI HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAREFUL TO AVOID CONFLICTS ISSUES. NEVERTHELESS, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO SET OUT NYSCI'S POLICY IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT WHICH DRAWS FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW AND ALSO FROM OTHER PRINCIPLES OF GOOD MANAGEMENT. DEFINITIONS: A PERSON WHO HAS "SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE AFFAIRS OF NYSCI" MEANS EACH TRUSTEE AND EACH SENIOR OFFICER OF NYSCI INCLUDING ALL NYSCI EMPLOYEES WHO ARE AT THE LEVEL OF DIRECTOR OR ABOVE. FOR OUR PURPOSES, IT ALSO MEANS A CORPORATION IN WHICH A TRUSTEE OR A SENIOR OFFICER IS A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER OR CONTROLS AT LEAST 10% OF THE VOTING POWER AND A PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH A TRUSTEE OR A SENIOR OFFICER IS ENTITLED TO AT LEAST 10% OF THE PROFITS. WE CALL EACH OF THOSE PEOPLE AND ENTITIES AN "INFLUENTIAL PERSON." THAT ALSO INCLUDES AN INDIVIDUAL'S SPOUSE OR SIGNIFICANT OTHER, PARENTS, CHILDREN AND THEIR SPOUSES, SISTERS AND BROTHERS, AND SISTERS- AND BROTHERS-IN-LAW. AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION IS A TRANSACTION IN WHICH NYSCI PROVIDES TO AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON AN ECONOMIC BENEFIT THAT IS WORTH MORE THAN THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT NYSCI RECEIVES IN RETURN. THE "REVIEWER" IS THE COMMITTEE DESIGNATED BY THE CHAIRMAN TO REVIEW TRANSACTIONS THAT REQUIRE AUTHORIZATION UNDER THIS POLICY STATEMENT. REVIEW: WITHOUT FIRST RECEIVING AUTHORIZATION FROM THE REVIEWER: A) NYSCI MAY NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON; B) NO INFLUENTIAL PERSON MAY ACCEPT A GIFT OR LOAN (OTHER THAN A LOAN IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF THE LENDER'S BUSINESS) FROM A CONTRACTOR OR VENDOR OF NYSCI AND THAT HAS A VALUE OF MORE THAN $100; C) NYSCI MAY NOT MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO ANY CHARITY OF WHICH AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON IS A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER; AND D) NO INFLUENTIAL PERSON MAY GIVE OR LOAN TO AN EMPLOYEE OF NYSCI, NOR MAY AN EMPLOYEE OF NYSCI GIVE OR LOAN TO AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON, MORE THAN $1,000. THE REVIEWER MAY DECLINE TO GRANT AUTHORIZATION FOR A TRANSACTION UNDER (A) ONLY IF THE REVIEWER DETERMINES THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WOULD BE AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION. THE REVIEWER MAY DECLINE TO GRANT AUTHORIZATION FOR A TRANSACTION UNDER (B), (C), OR (D) ONLY IF THE REVIEWER DETERMINES THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WOULD BE INIMICAL, OR MAY BE SEEN TO BE INIMICAL, TO RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF NYSCI. LARGE CONTRACTS: BEFORE NYSCI ENTERS INTO ANY AGREEMENT FOR MORE THAN 2.5% OF NYSCI'S OPERATING BUDGET, IT SHALL NOTIFY THE REVIEWER OF THE NATURE OF THE AGREEMENT AND THE NAME OF THE OTHER PARTY AND FURNISH WHATEVER INFORMATION IT HAS IN ITS POSSESSION ABOUT THE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF THE OTHER PARTY. THE REVIEWER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AUTHORIZED NYSCI TO ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT UNLESS IT NOTIFIES NYSCI WITHIN SEVEN DAYS THAT THE AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATES A TRANSACTION THAT, BY REASONS OF THE IDENTITY OF THE PARTIES, REQUIRES FURTHER REVIEW UNDER THIS POLICY STATEMENT. NOTIFICATION: EACH INFLUENTIAL PERSON MUST NOTIFY THE REVIEWER UPON BECOMING AWARE THAT NYSCI IS DOING BUSINESS, OR IS CONSIDERING DOING BUSINESS, WITH THAT INFLUENTIAL PERSON. IN ADDITION, ONCE EACH YEAR AT A TIME DESIGNATED BY THE CHAIRMAN, EACH INFLUENTIAL PERSON SHALL SUBMIT TO THE REVIEWER A COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRE IN THE FORM ATTACHED TO THIS POLICY STATEMENT. REPETITIVE BUSINESS: IN THE EVENT THAT AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON AND NYSCI EXPECT TO ENGAGE IN REPETITIVE BUSINESS, THE REVIEWER MAY PROSPECTIVELY AUTHORIZE THE CONDUCT OF THAT BUSINESS ON TERMS THAT THE REVIEWER CONSIDERS APPROPRIATE. NO FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FOR THAT REPETITIVE BUSINESS SHALL BE REQUIRED SO LONG AS THE INFLUENTIAL PERSON AND NYSCI COMPLY WITH THE TERMS SET BY THE REVIEWER. THE REVIEWER MAY REVOKE A PROSPECTIVE AUTHORIZATION AT ANY TIME. RECONSIDERATION: IF THE REVIEWER DECLINES TO AUTHORIZE ANY TRANSACTION THAT REQUIRES AUTHORIZATION UNDER THIS POLICY STATEMENT, ANY PARTY TO THAT TRANSACTION MAY SUBMIT THE MATTER TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD FOR RECONSIDERATION. THE RELEVANT INFLUENTIAL PERSON MAY NOT VOTE ON THAT MATTER AS A TRUSTEE OR MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. DOCUMENTATION: ANNUALLY, THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE PRESENTS TO THE BOARD ANY SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL CONFLICTS, OR LACK THEREOF, ENCOUNTERED DURING THE YEAR. THE PRESENTATION IS RECORDED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PROVIDED THAT PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS DO NOT PARTICIPATE. THE BOARD USES APPROPRIATE AND ADEQUATE DATA TO DETERMINE THE REASONABLENESS OF THE COMPENSATION BEING CONSIDERED AGAINST INDUSTRY STANDARDS. THE BOARD DISCUSSES THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THE APPROPRIATE QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING, FOLLOWED BY A CLOSED DOOR DISCUSSION WITH THE CEO. THE BOARD'S APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO THE CEO'S COMPENSATION, ALONG WITH ANY ASSOCIATED PERFORMANCE GOALS, ARE CAPTURED IN A FORMAL SIGNED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THE CEO. FOR KEY EMPLOYEES, THE CEO USES INDUSTRY STANDARDS SUBSTANTIATED BY APPROPRIATE DATA SUCH AS COMPENSATION SURVEYS, PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, AND A CONSIDERATION OF EQUITY AND PARITY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. WRITTEN AND SIGNED PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, WHICH INCLUDE FUTURE GOALS, ARE PREPARED AND DISCUSSED BETWEEN EACH KEY EMPLOYEE AND THE CEO. CHANGES TO A KEY EMPLOYEE'S COMPENSATION IS DOCUMENTED IN A WRITTEN MEMO FROM THE CEO TO THE KEY EMPLOYEE. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN FOR THE CEO AND KEY EMPLOYEES IN THE YEARS LISTED BELOW: PRESIDENT & CEO: 2013 DIRECTOR & CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER: 2013 CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER: 2013 EXECUTIVE VP & COO: 2013 VP INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT: 2013 VP EXTERNAL AFFAIRS: 2013
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY HAVE NEVER BEEN REQUESTED AND HAVE NOT BEEN MADE READILY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. HARD COPIES ARE PROVIDED WITH A CHARGE TO THE RECIPIENT FOR POSTAGE. ELECTRONIC COPIES IN PDF FORMAT ARE PROVIDED FOR FREE.
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C: THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES IN THE OVERSIGHT PROCESS OF THE AUDIT OF NYSCI'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR IN THE SELECTION PROCESS OF AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT WITHIN THIS TAX YEAR.
