ANY AFFIRMATIVE RESPONSE DEEMED UNUSUAL OR WHICH MAY APPEAR TO CONSTITUTE AN ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS REFERRED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR DETERMINATION. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MAY SEEK THE GUIDANCE OF COUNSEL AND MAKE SUCH DETERMINATION WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHOSE INVOLVEMENT IN SUCH TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP IS UNDER CONSIDERATION. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MAY CONCLUDE THAT THIS DETERMINATION SHOULD BE MADE BY THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI, AND REFER THE MATTER TO THE APPROPRIATE BOARD (WITH OR WITHOUT A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE AUDIT COMMITTEE) FOR ITS CONSIDERATION, DELIBERATION, AND RESOLUTION, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF LEGAL COUNSEL AND WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHOSE INVOLVEMENT IN SUCH TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP IS UNDER CONSIDERATION. THE APPROPRIATE BOARD SHALL HAVE FINAL AUTHORITY OVER THE RESOLUTION OF ALL CONFLICT OF INTEREST MATTERS INVOLVING THE MEMBERS OF SUCH BOARD. IF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE BELIEVES THAT A PARTICULAR RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION MAY REPRESENT AN ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT OR INTEREST, IT SHALL FIRST REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE INDIVIDUAL IN QUESTION DETAILING THE NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION. WHEN EVALUATING WHETHER A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP CONSTITUTES AN ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE SHALL CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING (NON-EXHAUSTIVE) FACTORS: --ABUSING ONE'S ROLE FOR PERSONAL OR THIRD-PARTY GAIN OR PLEASURE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE SOLICITATION OR ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS OR OTHER ITEMS OF VALUE OR INDIRECT INDUCEMENT TO PROVIDE SPECIAL TREATMENT ON ORGANIZATION MATTERS.) -- PLACING ONE'S OWN SELF-INTEREST, THE INTEREST OF ONE'S COMPANY, ORGANIZATION OR ANOTHER ENTITY FOR WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL SERVES IN A LEADERSHIP, EMPLOYMENT, OR OWNERSHIP CAPACITY, OR THE INTEREST OF ANY THIRD PARTY ABOVE THAT OF ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI. -- ENGAGING IN ANY OUTSIDE BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL OR OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT WOULD DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI. --PROVIDING GOODS OR SERVICES TO ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI AS A PAID VENDOR. IF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE DETERMINES THAT A PARTICULAR RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION REPRESENTS AN ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT (OR THE APPROPRIATE BOARD, IF THE MATTER HAS BEEN REFERRED TO THE BOARD) SHALL RESOLVE SUCH ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT IN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING MANNERS: (1) WAIVE THE ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT AS UNLIKELY TO AFFECT THE INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE ORGANIZATION; (2) DETERMINE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE RECUSED FROM ALL DELIBERATIONS AND DECISION-MAKING RELATED TO THE PARTICULAR TRANSACTION WHICH GIVES RISE TO THE ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT. THIS RESOLUTION SHOULD APPLY PARTICULARLY WHEN THE TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP IS ONE THAT PRESENTS A CONFLICT ONLY WITH RESPECT TO ONE OR TWO DISCRETE PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER ALSO WORKS FOR A COMPANY THAT PRODUCES AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM THAT COMPETES WITH ONE OR TWO DISCRETE PROGRAMS OF ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OR RELEVANT BOARD MAY DETERMINE THAT THE BOARD MEMBER SHOULD BE RECUSED FROM ALL DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING RELATED TO SUCH PROGRAM(S) (BOTH AT THE OUTSET AND ON AN ONGOING BASIS), BUT THAT THE BOARD MEMBER NEED NOT RESIGN HIS/HER SEAT ON THE BOARD. (3) DETERMINE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL MUST RESIGN FROM HIS/HER SERVICE TO ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI BECAUSE THE ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT IS SO PERVASIVE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WOULD SELDOM, IF EVER, LIKELY BE ABLE TO ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. FOR EXAMPLE, IF AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER ALSO WORKS FOR A COMPANY THAT PRODUCES EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT COMPETE WITH MOST OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OF THE FOUNDATION, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OR FOUNDATION BOARD MAY DETERMINE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE FOUNDATION BOARD. (4) THE SPECIAL PROCEDURE BELOW IS APPLICABLE TO ALL INSTANCES IN WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL (OR THE INDIVIDUAL'S COMPANY, ORGANIZATION, OR ANOTHER ENTITY FOR WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL SERVES IN A LEADERSHIP, EMPLOYMENT, OR OWNERSHIP CAPACITY, OR A MEMBER OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S FAMILY) SEEKS TO PROVIDE GOODS OR SERVICES TO ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI AS A PAID VENDOR, OR SEEKS TO RECEIVE A SIGNIFICANT GRANT OR CONTRACT FROM ONE OF THE THREE ORGANIZATIONS. THIS PROCEDURE SHALL NOT APPLY TO PRE-EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED TO, AND WAIVED BY, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OR THE BOARD OF THE RELEVANT ORGANIZATION. (A) THE INDIVIDUAL MUST DISCLOSE TO THE APPLICABLE CHAIR IN ADVANCE OF ANY RELATED ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY THE BOARD HIS/HER INTENT TO SEEK TO PROVIDE GOODS OR SERVICES AS A PAID VENDOR TO ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI, OR TO RECEIVE A GRANT OR CONTRACT FROM ONE OF THE THREE ORGANIZATIONS; (B) THE INDIVIDUAL MUST RECUSE HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM ALL DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING RELATED TO THE CONTEMPLATED ACTION; (C) IF THE VALUE OF THE TRANSACTION EXCEEDS $5,000, ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI MUST, THROUGH A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PROCESS, HAVE SOLICITED PROPOSALS BROADLY FROM OTHER QUALIFIED VENDORS / PROSPECTIVE GRANT OR CONTRACT RECIPIENTS AND RECEIVED (OR ATTEMPTED TO RECEIVE) WRITTEN BIDS FROM AT LEAST THREE SUCH INDIVIDUALS / ENTITIES (INCLUDING THE INDIVIDUAL IN QUESTION); (D) THE BOARD MUST DETERMINE (WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OR PARTICIPATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL) THAT THE TRANSACTION IS FAIR AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF ASAE, THE FOUNDATION, OR ABSI BASED ON ALL OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, AND SUCH DETERMINATION (INCLUDING THE FACT THAT IT WAS MADE IN THE ABSENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL) SHALL BE DOCUMENTED AS PART OF THE RELEVANT MEETING MINUTES (ALL COMPETING BIDS RECEIVED SHALL BE RETAINED AS WELL); AND (E) IF SELECTED, THE INDIVIDUAL MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY PROCESS BY WHICH HIS/HER PERFORMANCE AS A VENDOR / GRANT OR CONTRACT RECIPIENT IS EVALUATED.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S COMPENSATION POLICY IS DEFINED IN ITS BOARD POLICY MANUAL, AND CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING: PRESIDENT & CEO PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND COMPENSATION: THIS RESPONSIBILITY IS VESTED WITH THE ASAE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE ASAE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS CHARGED WITH ENSURING THAT THE ANNUAL EVALUATION IS CONDUCTED AND COMPENSATION ESTABLISHED. A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF THE IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR OF THE BOARD, CHAIR OF THE BOARD, THE SECRETARY/TREASURER, AND CHAIR-ELECT WILL RECOMMEND COMPENSATION LEVELS TO THE ASAE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IN ADDITION, THE PRESIDENT AND CEO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES ARE APPROVED BY THE ASAE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IT IS THESE AGREED UPON OBJECTIVES THAT ARE USED TO EVALUATE PERFORMANCE EACH YEAR. CEO COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE, VIEWED AS A WHOLE, SHOULD PROMOTE PERFORMANCE-BASED RESULTS LINKED TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION AND STRATEGIC GOALS. THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM SHOULD ENCOURAGE AN ENTREPRENEURIAL AND MEMBER SERVICE ENVIRONMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE VOLUNTEER LEADERSHIP TO DETERMINE, GUIDE, AND OVERSEE THE EXECUTION OF ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S STRATEGIC GOALS AND MISSION. GIVEN THE UNIQUE SET OF SKILLS NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION AND GOALS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE TOTAL COMPENSATION -- DIRECT AND INDIRECT -- SHOULD BE TARGETED ABOVE THE MARKET MEDIAN, YET BE DEMONSTRABLY REASONABLE RELATIVE TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OFFERED BY ORGANIZATIONS COMPARABLE TO ASAE & THE FOUNDATION. THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY SHOULD BE REVIEWED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE THAT IT CONTINUES TO BE ALIGNED WITH ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND FINANCIAL LIMITS AND CONTINUES TO BE BOTH REASONABLE AND COMPETITIVE. CEO COMPENSATION PRACTICES THE ASAE & THE FOUNDATION COMPENSATION PROGRAM IS TARGETED TO PROVIDE COMPETITIVE TOTAL COMPENSATION LEVELS (INCLUDING BOTH ANNUAL CASH COMPENSATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS) FOR HIGHLY COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE. COMPENSATION IS BENCHMARKED AGAINST DATA DEVELOPED BY INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS USING SURVEYS COMPRISED OF ORGANIZATIONS WITH SIMILAR INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP AND GENERAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, BOTH REGIONAL AND NATIONAL. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE SIMILAR TO ASAE & THE FOUNDATION IN MAGNITUDE, COMPLEXITY, AND SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY, AND THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE VARIOUS MARKETS IN WHICH ASAE & THE FOUNDATION COMPETE FOR TALENT. TOTAL CASH COMPENSATION IS TARGETED AT THE COMPETITIVE RANGE OF 85% - 115% OF THE 75TH PERCENTILE OF DEVELOPED MARKET RATES, DEPENDING ON TENURE AND EXPERIENCE OF THE CEO. CONSISTENT WITH THIS STRATEGY, THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM: -- TOTAL ANNUAL CASH COMPENSATION (CONSISTING OF BASE PAY AND A VARIABLE, AT-RISK INCENTIVE) IS POSITIONED AT 85% - 115% OF THE 75TH PERCENTILE OF DEVELOPED MARKET RATES; -- THE MIX OF TOTAL COMPENSATION ELEMENTS WILL REFLECT COMPETITIVE MARKET REQUIREMENTS AND STRATEGIC BUSINESS NEEDS; -- COMPENSATION IS LINKED TO BOTH QUALITATIVE AND BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS, AND KEY OPERATIONAL AND STRATEGIC METRICS; AND -- COMPENSATION WILL BE DIFFERENTIATED ON THE FOLLOWING BASIS: BASE PAY - ON RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITY; ANNUAL INCENTIVES - ON PERFORMANCE; AND SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS - ON LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE. BASE PAY -- DETERMINED BY INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE AND COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR POSITIONS IN INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP AND GENERAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. PAY IS ESTABLISHED BASED ON JOB RESPONSIBILITY, LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE, INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE BUSINESS, ANALYSES OF COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY PRACTICE AND VARIOUS OTHER QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE PERFORMANCE FACTORS. ANNUAL INCENTIVE -- THE TARGET ANNUAL INCENTIVE AMOUNT IS DETERMINED BASED ON THE MARKET PRACTICES OF THE COMPARATOR GROUP AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARD IS BASED ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF PREDETERMINED FINANCIAL, STRATEGIC, BUSINESS, AND INDIVIDUAL GOALS. THE PRIMARY QUANTITATIVE FACTORS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INCLUDE AS FINANCIAL MEASURES NET INCOME, REVENUE, TOTAL MEMBERSHIP, AND ACHIEVEMENT OF OTHER BOARD PRIORITIES AS DEFINED EACH YEAR BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AMONG THE QUALITATIVE FACTORS EVALUATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE PROGRESS IN THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATIONS SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM BUSINESS GOALS, MEMBER SATISFACTION, AND THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF ASAE & THE FOUNDATION AND ITS HUMAN RESOURCES. SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS -- UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS PLAN, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS GRANTS DEFERRED SALARY AND SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME ARRANGEMENTS, BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE. THESE AWARDS AND SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS ARE PROVIDED IN LINE WITH COMPETITIVE PRACTICES OF THE COMPARATOR GROUP. THE OBJECTIVES FOR THESE AWARDS ARE TO CLOSELY ALIGN EXECUTIVE INTERESTS WITH THE LONGER-TERM INTERESTS OF STAKEHOLDERS AND TO RETAIN THE SKILLS CRITICAL TO THE FUTURE SUCCESS OF ASAE & THE FOUNDATION. ------------ OTHER KEY OFFICERS/EMPLOYEES UNDER BYLAW AND CEO CONTRACT, THE BALANCE OF STAFF ARE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF CEO. STAFF COMPENSATION POLICY DECISIONS TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S OVERALL FINANCIAL CONDITION, EQUITY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION, AND COMPETITIVE SALARY PLANNING. ASAE'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF AND ONGOING INTERNAL REVIEW OF ALL COMPENSATION PLANS AND POLICIES. THIS COMPENSATION REVIEW HELPS ASAE & THE FOUNDATION MAINTAIN AND ADMINISTER A COMPENSATION PLAN THAT ACCURATELY AND FAIRLY REFLECTS EACH INDIVIDUAL'S RESPONSIBILITIES AND PERFORMANCE. ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S STAFF SALARY ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM(S) CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING: -- JOB EVALUATION - THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC METHOD OF DETERMINING THE VALUE OF EACH JOB WITHIN THE ASSOCIATION, INCLUDING REVIEW OF SKILLS, EDUCATIONAL PREREQUISITES AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORGANIZATION. -- SALARY STRUCTURE - POSITIONS ARE EVALUATED AND POSITIONS WITH SIMILAR VALUES ARE PLACED IN A SALARY GRADE THAT IS REVIEWED IN TERMS OF ITS COMPETITIVENESS WITHIN THE MARKET AND OUR ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS. EACH GRADE HAS A MINIMUM, WHICH IS THE LOWEST RECOMMENDED SALARY TO BE OFFERED TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO MEETS THE MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS OF THE POSITION; A MIDPOINT, REPRESENTING THE SALARY AT WHICH A FULLY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED STAFF MEMBER WHO SATISFACTORILY PERFORMS ALL THE SPECIFICATIONS OF A POSITION IS PAID WITHIN THE MARKETPLACE; AND A MAXIMUM, WHICH IS THE UPPER LIMIT OF THE SALARY RANGE. A THIRD PARTY IS ENGAGED PERIODICALLY TO REVIEW THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE OF THE EXECUTIVE STAFF AND/OR FULL STAFF RELATIVE TO BASE COMPENSATION, BONUS AND INCENTIVE PROGRAMS COMPARATIVE TO MARKET. -- SALARY BUDGET AND GUIDELINES - ASAE & THE FOUNDATION'S ANNUAL SALARY BUDGET IS DEVELOPED ANNUALLY IN ORDER TO ALLOCATE MONIES NEEDED TO MAINTAIN STAFF MEMBER SALARIES AT COMPETITIVE LEVELS, SUBJECT TO BUDGETARY LIMITATIONS.
