Return Reference Explanation
Part III, Lines 4A, 4B and 4C Line (4a) US Open The USTA organizes and conducts the United States Open Tennis Championships-the US Open-which is the world's highest-attended annual sporting event and one of its premier sporting attractions. The US Open is held each year at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York, pursuant to an agreement with the USTA National Tennis Center Incorporated. Staging the US Open requires the dedication and talents of numerous USTA volunteers, USTA staff, and seasonal help to run this tennis tournament efficiently and effectively. The US Open helps fulfill several of the USTA's major purposes, including: to promote the development of tennis as a means of healthful recreation and physical fitness; to organize tennis tournaments and competitions for all tennis athletes without regard to gender, race, creed, color, or national origin, and under the best conditions possible; and to promote the game of tennis to the general public. It is a major expectation of the US Open that the fans' enthusiasm and excitement for the event will encourage their interest in tennis and drive participation in the sport. As the premier showcase for tennis in the United States, the US Open uses its world-wide stage to help grow the game. The 2014 US Open kicked off with the 19th annual Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, the world's largest single-day, grass-roots tennis and entertainment event; held in honor of Arthur Ashe, the event continues Ashe's mission of using tennis as a means to instill in children the values of humanitarianism, leadership, and excellence. The morning Grounds Festival of the 2014 Arthur Ashe Kids' Day was free to the public and was followed by a sold-out stadium show featuring a lineup of tennis greats and musical guests. In 2014, the US Open topped 700,000 fans in attendance for the seventh time in eight years. Nearly 450 hours of match coverage of the 2014 US Open were broadcast by four domestic TV partners-including CBS Sports, which garnered a total audience of 32.5 million viewers who watched all or part of its 2014 US Open coverage, and ESPN and ESPN2, whose telecasts reached 35.9 million viewers. The 2014 US Open was broadcast in 200 countries, with the men's singles final, in which Marin Cilic defeated Kei Nishikori, proving to be the highest-rated program in history for WOWOW, the US Open broadcast partner in Japan. In the women's singles final, Serena Williams defeated Caroline Wozniacki to secure her third consecutive US Open title. Fan engagement with US Open digital channels rose in record numbers in 2014, as USOpen.org, the tournament's official website, generated all-time highs in unique visitors (15.7 million), visits (58.7 million) and total page views (452 million). The 2014 US Open unveiled the first phase of the site-wide transformation of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center: the West Stadium Courts and the Practice Gallery, featuring elevated seating constructed around tournament courts 4, 5, and 6, and the practice courts, which enabled fans to watch competitive action simultaneously on three tournament courts and to enjoy enhanced, unobstructed views of top-seeded players practicing. Other new offerings at the 2014 US Open included the American Collegiate Invitational, the first college tennis competition to be staged at the US Open, and the scheduling of the boys' and girls' singles finals on Court 17 to increase the visibility of these junior events. For the fifth consecutive season, the US Open National Playoffs helped make the US Open truly "open" by providing the opportunity for all players 14 years of age and older to earn a berth into the US Open. The 2014 US Open also expanded on the tournament's comprehensive "green" initiatives and continued to make the US Open one of the easiest places to be eco-friendly and environmentally sensitive, from recycling to energy management. Line (4b) Community Tennis Division - Community Tennis strives to grow tennis at every level with a goal of making the game accessible to everyone. It supports a wide range of tennis programs designed to help people learn the game, play the game, and take advantage of its many health, fitness, and social benefits. Adult Tennis, Junior Tennis, Collegiate Tennis, Wheelchair Tennis, Facilities, and USTA Membership are all managed within Community Tennis. Community Tennis covers every step along the player pathway-from starting out with 10 and Under Tennis to USTA Junior Team Tennis, no-cut high school programs, local junior tournaments and junior competition, college tennis (collegiate varsity tennis and USTA Tennis On Campus), USTA League, and USTA sanctioned tournaments for all ages up to 90 and over. Community Tennis works with our 17 sections across the nation, along with over two dozen national USTA committees (made up of leading volunteers and staff) as well as with thousands of local volunteers nationwide and with tennis industry partners on numerous grass-roots efforts to grow the game. This includes the largest initiative ever to strengthen the tennis infrastructure in public parks and schools, including the building and/or renovation of more than 30,000 public tennis courts. Other initiatives include developing, strengthening, and growing a nationwide network of self-sufficient Community Tennis Associations to increase tennis participation at the local level; promoting and providing development and play opportunities for people in wheelchairs to be involved in the sport of tennis as both players and volunteers; introducing tennis to youth through in school physical education classes and after-school tennis programs; and promoting and providing recreational and competitive league team opportunities for players age 18 to 90+ in the country's largest recreational tennis league, USTA League. In 2014, the USTA announced its plan to create a new home for American tennis-the USTA National Campus in Orlando, FL-which will serve the sport at every level of play and which will deliver an unparalleled tennis experience for players of all ages and ability levels. When completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, the grounds will feature more than 100 tennis courts and will be divided into dedicated areas that focus on the complete tennis pathway. The USTA National Campus will serve our sport as a "learning laboratory" with thousands of players, coaches, officials and tennis providers from across the U.S. able to visit the campus to participate in a wide variety of play and learning opportunities. Community Tennis will be housed on the site, along with USTA Player Development and USTA Pro Circuit and Officiating departments. This proximity will maximize the staff's ability to collaborate and innovate, which will enable the USTA to have a greater impact on programming for the sport and growing the game at all levels. The Technical Committee monitors, evaluates, and, where appropriate, influences technical developments and makes recommendations for related rules in order to preserve the essential character of the game of tennis and promote its enjoyment. In addition, the USTA has created the Youth Tennis Task Force to advise and support staff and volunteers in promoting and expanding the USTA's Youth Tennis initiative and developing a pathway for juniors. This initiative includes (a) getting more school districts to adopt the USTA's PE curriculum and provide after-school skill development programs, testing and implementing the USTA's Tennis Play Days concept and developing a logical pathway moving youth from these programs to USTA Jr. Team Tennis and USTA tournaments, and (b) identifying and sharing "best practices" from the sections, districts, and local communities.
Part III, Lines 4A, 4B and 4C Cont'd. Line (4c) Professional Tennis Division - The USTA Professional Tennis Division consists of the Emirates Airline US Open Series, Pro Tournaments, and Team Events and includes the Olympics, Davis Cup and Fed Cup, professional competitions, the USTA Pro Circuit, and the Officiating department. Together, they manage the game at the highest levels in the United States, with an eye toward providing a manageable pathway to the elite levels of tennis competition for aspiring pro tennis players and officials. The activities managed by the Professional Tennis Operations Division represent tennis competition for amateurs and all athletes at its ultimate level. The events staged by the division are leveraged to showcase the fun, excitement, and athletic excellence of the sport and to encourage participation at all levels. As the recognized National Governing Body of the sport of tennis, the USTA is a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee. The USTA coordinates the United States' tennis participation in the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games, as well as the Pan-American Games. In the last Summer Olympics, in 2012, the United States posted a strong showing, taking home three of the five gold medals and four medals overall-three gold and one bronze-bringing the United States' total of Olympic medals in tennis to 20, including 13 gold, since the sport was reinstated in the Olympics in 1988. This is the highest total of any nation. The United States also posted a strong showing in 2012 at the fifth Paralympic Games, capturing three medals. The United States has now won 15 medals (six gold) since the Paralympic Games began in 1992. Davis Cup and Fed Cup are the elite international team competitions in professional tennis for men and women, respectively, with more than 130 nations competing in these events annually. The United States has won the Davis Cup championship on 32 occasions, more than any other nation, while the United States Fed Cup team has won the Fed Cup title more than any other nation, a record 17 times. The Emirates Airline US Open Series is the five-week summer tennis season that links select ATP World Tour and WTA hard-court tournaments in North America to the US Open. The Emirates Airline US Open Series was launched in 2004 and has resulted in record attendance and TV viewership for these tournaments, with nearly 25 million TV viewers tuning in for the 2014 Emirates Airline US Open Series. Meanwhile, the USTA provided support in 2014 (via prize money, grants, and other means) to the approximately 90 sanctioned, entry-level professional tournaments that comprise the USTA Pro Circuit. As the world's largest professional tour for tennis development, the USTA Pro Circuit provides the next generation of American champions with the opportunity to develop their game and play against world-class competition without having to travel abroad. The USTA's Officiating department oversees the recruitment, certification, and evaluation of tennis officials at all levels of the sport in the United States, from grass-roots tournaments to the upper echelons of Professional Tennis. By training and certifying quality officials who know the rules and regulations for their on-court and off-court tournament responsibilities, the USTA seeks to ensure smooth-running tournaments which are essential to growing the game. Each year, the USTA certifies approximately 3,500 tennis officials, with the majority of them serving in a volunteer capacity.

The Ethics Officer reviews the completed disclosure statements for employees and the Chair of the Audit Committee or the Chair's designee reviews the completed disclosure statements for the volunteers at the National Governing Body level and Board Members. The Ethics Officer and the Chair of the Audit Committee have the discretion to share the disclosure statements with the entire Audit Committee, Board of Directors, and/or The Executive Director & Chief Operating Officer. The Ethics Officer and the Chair of the Audit Committee determine whether a conflict exists and so mark their decision on the disclosure statement, also indicating the required corrective action should they determine that a conflict exists (which may include, but is not limited to, prohibition in participating, deliberating and deciding issues and/or in transactions).
