| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE FORM 990 WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE BOARD WILL RECEIVE THE FORM 990 VIA E-MAIL. THE BOARD WILL REVIEW THE FORM 990 AND AUTHORIZE MANAGEMENT TO SIGN IT ON THE ORGANIZATION'S BEHALF. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED TO FILL OUT AN ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM. EMPLOYEES COMPLETE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM AS PART OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION. BOARD FORMS ARE REVIEWED BY THE CEO INITIALLY, THEN BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARE IDENTIFIED. STAFF FORMS ARE REVIEWED BY THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE INITIALLY, THEN BY THE COO AND CEO IF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARE IDENTIFIED. PERSONS WITH IDENTIFIED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE RECUSED FROM PARTICIPATION IN DECISIONS AFFECTED BY THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES WITH WHOM A CONFLICTING INTEREST EXIST MAY BE UNDERTAKEN ONLY IF ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE OBSERVED: 1. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS FULLY DISCLOSED, 2. THE PERSON WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS EXCLUDED FROM THE DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF SUCH TRANSACTION, 3. A COMPETITIVE BID OR COMPARABLE VALUATION EXISTS, AND 4. THE BOARD CHAIR OR A DULY CONSTITUTED COMMITTEE THEREOF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSACTION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE ORGANIZATION. DISCLOSURE IN THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE MADE TO THE CEO (OR IF SHE OR HE IS THE ONE WITH THE CONFLICT, THEN TO THE BOARD CHAIR), WHO SHALL BRING THE MATTER TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD CHAIR OR THE BUDGET AND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. DISCLOSURE INVOLVING DIRECTORS SHOULD BE MADE TO THE BOARD CHAIR (OR IF SHE OR HE IS THE ONE WITH THE CONFLICT, THEN TO THE BOARD VICE-CHAIR), WHO SHALL BRING THESE MATTERS TO THE BOARD OR A DULY CONSTITUTED COMMITTEE THEREOF. THE BOARD OR A DULY CONSTITUTED COMMITTEE THEREOF SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER A CONFLICT EXISTS AND IN THE CASE OF AN EXISTING CONFLICT, WHETHER THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION MAY BE AUTHORIZED AS JUST, FAIR, AND REASONABLE TO COLLEGE POSSIBLE. THE DECISION OF THE BOARD, OR THE DESIGNATED COMMITTEE, ON THESE MATTERS WILL REST IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, AND THEIR CONCERN MUST BE THE WELFARE OF COLLEGE POSSIBLE AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF ITS PURPOSE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A | THE CEO'S COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED ANNUALLY BY THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT IS HIRED REGULARLY (MOST RECENTLY IN 2016) TO DETERMINE THE MARKET RATE FOR THE CEO'S COMPENSATION. ANNUALLY, THE HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEWS COMPARABLE COMPENSATION DATA FOR NONPROFIT CEO'S/EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AS WELL AS PRE-DETERMINED PERFORMANCE METRICS FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CEO. 1. FOLLOWING THE 2016 MARKET RATE STUDY, THE CEO'S BASE SALARY INCREASES FOR 2017 AND 2018 WERE DETERMINED BY ASSESSING PERFORMANCE AGAINST ANNUAL GOALS THAT WERE SET BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE HR COMMITTEE, COMPARING THE SALARY AGAINST THE MARKET RATE DATA ('AGED' BY 3% EACH YEAR), AND THEN THE HR COMMITTEE USED DISCRETION TO CHOOSE AN INCREASE. 2. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED A SALARY INCREASE FOR THE CEO IN OCTOBER, 2018, WHICH WILL TAKE EFFECT AT THE END OF NOVEMBER, 2018. 3. THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROCESS INCLUDED AN OUTLINE OF ACTIONS REQUIRED BY THE HR COMMITTEE, MATERIALS/SPREADSHEETS USED BY THE COMMITTEE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS, AND E-MAIL INSTRUCTION FROM THE CHAIR OF THE HR COMMITTEE TO THE COO CONVEYING THE RESULTS OF THE BOARD VOTE. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO USES AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO DETERMINE MARKET RATE FOR THE COO AND CPO COMPENSATION PACKAGES. |
