Explanation
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11
THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE TOP FINANCIAL OFFICIAL. ONCE ALL COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED, A COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW. ONCE APPROVED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, THE FINAL FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE FULL BOARD VIA E-MAIL AND THEN FILED WITH THE IRS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
CRJ HAS PUBLISHED AND DISSEMINATED TO THE BOARD A DETAILED POLICY REGARDING CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND REVIEWS AND ENFORCES COMPLIANCE WITH THE SAME ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD HAS A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TOWARD CRJ. THIS MEANS THAT BOARD MEMBERS MAY NOT HAVE AN INTEREST, PERSONAL OR BUSINESS, WHICH CONFLICTS WITH THE MISSION AND PURPOSE OF CRJ. IT ALSO MEANS THAT BOARD MEMBERS MUST ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF CRJ WITH A VIEW TO ADVANCING ITS MISSION AND PURPOSE. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD MUST EXERCISE CAUTION IN ENTERING INTO ANY BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH CRJ, AND THE BOARD MUST BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT ALLOWING CRJ TO ENTER INTO ANY SUCH RELATIONSHIP. SUCH TRANSACTIONS SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMMATED UNLESS THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT IT IS CLEARLY IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF CRJ. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD ADOPTS THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES REGARDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD SHALL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL WRITTEN DISCLOSURES TO THE BOARD IF AND WHEN ADDITIONAL MATERIAL, FINANCIAL OR OTHER BENEFICIAL INTERESTS DEVELOP, AND IF AND WHEN ANY ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DEVELOPS. SUCH DISCLOSURE SHALL BE MADE ANNUALLY IN JUNE AND IN WRITING. SUCH DISCLOSURES SHALL BE MADE A MATTER OF CORPORATE RECORD, REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES OF MEETINGS AND RECORDS OF PROCEEDINGS, AND PROPERLY DISCLOSED IN FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATORY REPORTS. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD SHALL ABSTAIN FROM ANY BOARD ACTION OR ACTIVITY WHERE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST. DIRECTORS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WHENEVER THEY THEMSELVES, OR MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILY, BUSINESS PARTNERS OR CLOSE PERSONAL ASSOCIATES, MAY PERSONALLY BENEFIT EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FINANCIALLY OR OTHERWISE, FROM THEIR POSITION ON THE BOARD. A DIRECTOR IN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS AN "INTERESTED PERSON." A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY BE "REAL", "POTENTIAL" OR "PERCEIVED", BUT THE SAME DUTY TO DISCLOSE APPLIES TO EACH. FULL DISCLOSURE DOES NOT REMOVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD SHALL ANNUALLY DISCLOSE TO THE GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST HE OR SHE MAY HAVE. SUCH DISCLOSURE SHALL IDENTIFY ANY MATERIAL, FINANCIAL OR OTHER BENEFICIAL INTEREST HELD BY THE MEMBER OR BY HIS OR HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY IN ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE SAME BUSINESSES OR SERVICES AS CRJ, OR ENGAGED IN THE DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO CRJ. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD SHALL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL WRITTEN DISCLOSURES TO THE GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE IF AND WHEN ADDITIONAL MATERIAL, FINANCIAL OR OTHER BENEFICIAL INTERESTS DEVELOP, AND IF AND WHEN ANY ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DEVELOPS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
CRJ HAS A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE THAT ANNUALLY REVIEWS AND PROVIDES RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO. CRJ REGULARLY INVOLVES OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS TO REVIEW THE ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION DATA AND TO CONDUCT A BENCHMARK ANALYSIS TO ASSESS THE COMPENSATION PRACTICES OF COMPARABLE POSITIONS FOUND IN THE EXTERNAL MARKETS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USES SUCH COMPENSATION ASSESSMENT, ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION DATA COMPILED FROM NUMEROUS, SIMILAR, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND THE CEO'S PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS AND COMPENSATION HISTORY TO MAKE DELIBERATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE CEO'S COMPENSATION. FOLLOWING DISCUSSION BY THE COMMITTEE, AND UPON MOTION DULY MADE AND SECONDED, THE BOARD OF DIRETORS WOULD UNANIMOUSLY VOTE TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. CRJ ALSO USES OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS TO SURVEY DATA AND PROVIDE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS FOR OTHER OFFICERS: CFO, COO, CAO, EXECUITVE DIRECTOR, AND SENIOR DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
