| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A | PER ARTICLE 5.5 OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BYLAWS, THE FEDERATION'S GOVERNING BODY AND GOVERNING DOCUMENTS DELEGATE BROAD AUTHORITY TO AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL CONSIST OF THE CHAIR, THE VICE CHAIR(S), THE CHAIR OR ONE OF THE CO-CHAIRS OF BOTH THE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE, AND NOT LESS THAN SEVEN (7) ADDITIONAL DIRECTORS NOMINATED BY THE CHAIR AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. WHEN THE FORM 990 IS COMPLETE, BUT BEFORE IT IS FILED, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETS WITH THE CFO AND VP OF FINANCE AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PERFORM A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE FORM 990. THE BOARD HAS EMPOWERED THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO PERFORM THIS REVIEW OF THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO FILING. 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 | 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.

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, 2015, AND AGAIN IN 2017 AS PART OF THE RENEWAL OF HIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. |
