REIMBURSEMENT FROM CHARTER ASSOCIATION At June 30, 2014, there were nine Chartered Associations that have jurisdiction over specific geographical areas. However, one of the Chartered Associations legally dissolved with an effective date of June 30, 2014. The geographical area was absorbed by three of the remaining Chartered Associations, effective July 1, 2014. Each Chartered Association is required to remit a monthly bundled billing amount, which includes a fee for some services or contracts held by National Office. Part of these fees pertain to National Office Direct Marketing and the ROI Data Program which provides information on donors and fundraising events conducted by and for the benefit of Chartered Associations. Donations resulting from the direct mail campaign and revenue raised by the Direct Marketing Program are remitted to the Chartered Associations based on the zip code of the donor. The Chartered Associations reimburse National Office for costs required to operate this program. These reimbursements are shown as program reimbursement revenue from Chartered Associations on the accompanying statements of activities. This revenue is recognized as expenses are incurred. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, program reimbursements approximated $21,100,000 and $23,400,000, respectively. Each Chartered Association is also required to remit a monthly assessment, which National Office uses in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, providing national leadership, assistance and guidance in the areas of Field Program Development, Field Fundraising and Field Management Advisory and other activities. This revenue is recognized over the assessment period. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, Chartered Associations' assessments revenue approximated $4,700,000 and $4,800,000, respectively. Additionally, per National Office's agreement with each Chartered Association, National Office receives 30% of direct response revenues, less direct response expenses and 13% of all unrestricted bequests in those instances when the donor died prior to July 1, 2009. This revenue is recognized in the period when contributions are collected. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the allocable share of direct response activities and bequest share revenue from Chartered Associations approximated $2,300,000 and $2,400,000, respectively.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committee shall act in place of and with the full authority of the Board of Directors when the Board of Directors is not in session, subject to the Board's power to amend or change those actions which have not been implemented prior to the Board meeting or meetings following the Executive Committee meeting at which such action was taken. The Board of Directors has the power to authorize and delegate to the Executive Committee to the extent permitted by the Association's Bylaws and applicable law. The Executive Committee shall not have the authority to appoint officers except on an interim basis to fill a vacancy, enter into or amend contracts with officers, amend the policies manual, or borrow money in excess of the amounts expressly authorized by the Board. The Executive Committee shall have no authority to amend the Articles of Incorporation, adopt a plan of merger or consolidation, authorize the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Association, authorize the voluntary dissolution of the Association or revocation of such dissolution, or amend the Bylaws of the Association. The Executive Committee may establish a leadership subcommittee consisting of the Chair, Vice-Chair, and Past-Chair, which shall serve as the Executive Committee's liaison to the President and CEO. FORM 990 PART VI, LINE 11B FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS ALA has establised the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. Form 990 is prepared by an outside accounting firm and reviewed by CFO. Pror to electronic submission, it is reviewed by the organization's delegated responsible body, the Audit and Risk Oversight Committee, for approval. After approval by the AROC Committee, the members of the governing body review the form prior to submission. All comments are documented, addressed and finalized before the submission.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c
WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ALA currently has in place a conflict of interest policy which it monitors and enforces annually and has a standing governance committee that oversees its execution. The organization currently mandates that all members of the governing body, committee members and all staff annually sign a conflict of interest policy and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. The signed conflict of interest policy statements are submitted to the governance committee. These statements are reviewed for potential or actual conflicts. If a potential or actual conflict of interest exists, the governance committee will notify members of management and/or the governing body about such conflict and investigate the conflict and its possible effect. If the governance committee determines that an actual or apparent conflict exists, it will inform the governing body and/or management of its decision. The conflicted individual will not be allowed to vote or be part of any decisions about any such transactions that have to do with the conflict until such time as the governance committee determines there is no longer a conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15
PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION The American Lung Association has established a compensation policy for its leadership committee to follow in establishing the compensation for its CEO, top management official, other officers or key employees. The policy mandates that executive compensation be periodically reviewed by the committee and that the committee should be free of conflicts of interest. In addition, the approving committee needs to review appropriate and adequate data to determine the reasonableness of the compensation being considered. The committee may use a variety of information and studies that are available to determine that the appropriate level of compensation is being paid to its executives. The committees decision on the amount of compensation paid is documented in a contemporaneously written format and documents the date of the decision, the members present during the meeting and those who voted on it, the details of the transaction that was approved and the comparability data used and relied upon to make the decision. ALA did a compensation review for the CEO when he was hired in January 2013. The most recent compensation review process for all other officers and key employees was done in December 2010.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19
