PRIOR TO FILING, THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE PROVIDED AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE FORM 990 FOR REVIEW.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THE JEWISH FEDERATION HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. BOARD MEMBERS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND SELECTED STAFF ARE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY. THE POLICY IS POSTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S INTRANET. ADDITIONALLY, THE POLICY IS CIRCULATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO AFFECTED PERSONS ALONG WITH A QUESTIONNAIRE TO FURTHER IDENTIFY RELATIONSHIPS THAT REQUIRE DISCLOSURE ON THE FORM 990. THE POLICY DEFINES PROCEDURES FOR THE CONFLICTED PERSON AND/OR OTHERS TO ENSURE THAT BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS ARE FULLY DISCLOSED, AND DISCIPLINARY MEASURES ARE ENFORCED. WHEN A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS IDENTIFIED BY THE CONFLICTED PARTY OR THE JEWISH FEDERATION, THE NATURE OF THE INTEREST OR INVOLVEMENT IS IMMEDIATELY COMMUNICATED TO THE PRESIDENT, BOARD CHAIR, AND THE RESPECTIVE COMMITTEE CONSIDERING THE TRANSACTION. IF THE PARTICULAR TRANSACTION REQUIRES A VOTE, THE CONFLICTED PARTY SHALL NOT BE COUNTED FOR PURPOSES OF A QUORUM NOR SHALL HE OR SHE VOTE ON THE MATTER. PERSONS PREPARING AND SIGNING THE FORM 990 ARE FAMILIAR WITH BOARD MEMBERS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS (INCLUDING CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS) AND THE RULES AND POLICIES RELATED TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A AND 15B PROCESS FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION THE BYLAWS PROVIDE FOR AN INDEPENDENT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WHICH REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION, INCLUDING BENEFITS, OF THE PRESIDENT, CHIEF OPERATING AND FINANCIAL OFFICER, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER SELECTED EMPLOYEES WHO COMPRISE THE FIVE HIGHEST PAID EMPLOYEES OF THE FEDERATION. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS INCLUDES ENGAGING AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT WHO USES SALARY SURVEYS AND STUDIES OF NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO PROPOSE A COMPENSATION PACKAGE. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OCCUR UPON HIRING OF THE OFFICER, RENEWAL OR EXTENSION OF THE EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, OR WHEN THE COMPENSATION IS MODIFIED. AFTER THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS SETTLED ON A COMPENSATION MATTER, THE RESULTS ARE REPORTED TO THE BOARD. THE COMPENSATION OF THE CURRENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WAS APPROVED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IN 2009, 2012 AND AGAIN IN 2015 AS PART OF THE RENEWAL OF HIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 PUBLIC INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS THE JEWISH FEDERATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE OFFICE OF THE ORGANIZATION.
