Part III, Lines 4A, 4B and 4C Line 4(a) US Open. United States Tennis Association Incorporated("USTAthe "Association") 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. 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 2015 US Open kicked off with the 20th annual Arthur Ashe Kids Day, the worlds largest single-day, grass-roots tennis and entertainment event; held in honor of Arthur Ashe, the event continues Ashes mission of using tennis as a means to instill in children the values of humanitarianism, leadership, and excellence. The morning Grounds Festival of the 2015 Arthur Ashe Kids Day featured kid-friendly tennis programming throughout the grounds and was free to the public, and was followed by a stadium show featuring a lineup of tennis greats and musical guests. For the first time in eight years, the tournament was played over a true fortnight, and the 2015 US Open drew 691,280 fans, with an unprecedented average daily attendance of 49,377. ESPN served for the first time as the US Open's exclusive domestic media partner, providing a "digital ground pass" for tennis fans through ESPN's family of networks. ESPN/ESPN2 averaged 1.27 million viewers for the tournament. All told, the 2015 US Open reached a U.S. audience of more than 54.1 million viewers on ESPN Networks, highlighted by the womens singles quarterfinal match between Serena Williams and Venus Williams, which became the most-viewed tennis telecast (3.3 million viewers) ever shown on ESPN. Worldwide, the tournament was broadcast in 202 countries and territories, generating 65,424 hours of coverage. The 2015 US Open gave fans a glimpse into the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centers future with the newly installed superstructure that will support the retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium, which will become fully operational for the 2016 US Open. For the sixth 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 2015 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 Development. 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, Collegiate Tennis, Junior Tennis, Market Development, and Membership are all managed within Community Tennis, which covers every step along the play 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 the USTA's 17 independently governed geographical sections across the U.S., along with more than 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 2015, the USTA began building a new home for American tennis-the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Fla.-to serve the sport at every level of play and to deliver an unparalleled tennis experience for players of all ages and ability levels. When completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, the USTA National Campus will be a model tennis facility, with 100 tennis courts, and will be divided into dedicated areas that focus on the complete tennis pathway. With more than 100,000 people expected to make use of the facility each year, the USTA National Campus will provide players, coaches, tennis officials, tennis providers, and spectators with an unprecedented playing, training, and educational experience by incorporating the latest technology and serving as an epicenter of tennis innovation. 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 staffs 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.
Part III, Lines 4A, 4B and 4C Cont'd. Line (4c) Professional Tennis Operations Division. The USTA Professional Tennis Operations 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 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 makes it easier for fans to connect with the game by forming a true regular season of hard-court tennis, with ESPN offering more than 70 hours of live national Series coverage in 2015. Meanwhile, the USTA provided support in 2015 (via prize money, grants, and other means) to the approximately 90 sanctioned professional tournaments that comprise the USTA Pro Circuit, the worlds largest professional tour for tennis development. The USTA Pro Circuit provides the next generation of American champions with year-round opportunities to develop their game and play against world-class competition without having to travel abroad. The USTAs 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.
Part VI, Lines 6, 7A & 7B The voting members of the Association are the Sectional Associations and Direct Member Clubs & Organizations who have a weighted vote based on actual members in their geographic area. The voting members approve the slate of Officers and Board Members as submitted by the Nominating Committee. In addition, their rights include approving amendments to the By-laws and other voting rights pursuant to New York State not-for-profit corporation law.
Part VI, Section A, Line 11 Upon completion by the staff, the Form 990 is reviewed by internal and external counsel. The Form 990 is reviewed by USTA's Audit Committee. The Form 990 is also distributed to the full Board of Directors in advance of filing.
Part VI, Section B, Line 12C USTA has a Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Policy that applies to all employees, National volunteers and Board Members. The Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Policy requires an employee, National volunteer and Board Member to report interests or relationships that could present a potential conflict of interest. The USTA obtains annual certifications from employees, National volunteers and Board Members. 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).
Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Compensation Committee has responsibility for establishing a compensation strategy and setting the compensation of the Executive Director, his/her direct reports, and any other highly compensated individuals designated by the Compensation Committee, part of which includes the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer; Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel; the Chief Financial Officer; the Chief Executive, Community Tennis & USTA National Campus; the Chief Revenue Officer; the Chief Marketing Officer; the Chief Professional Tennis Officer, US Open Tournament Director; and the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. The Compensation Committee meets a minimum of four times per year and contemporaneously maintains minutes of its meetings. Compensation and incentive plan levels are set by the Committee following review of appropriate comparability data.
