Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 AND TECHNOLOGY, AS WELL AS A GLOBAL LEADER IN STEM EDUCATION AND A LABORATORY FOR NEW FORMS OF LEARNING. FOUNDED DURING THE 1964 - 1965 WORLD'S FAIR, NYSCI IS RECOGNIZED FOR GROUNDBREAKING EXHIBITIONS, INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND MENTORSHIP, TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, AND LARGE-SCALE EVENTS THAT DRAW CHILDREN AND ADULTS INTO HANDS-ON STEM LEARNING. OUR MISSION IS TO NURTURE GENERATIONS OF PASSIONATE LEARNERS, CRITICAL THINKERS, AND ACTIVE CITIZENS THROUGH DESIGN, MAKE, PLAY A NOVEL APPROACH TO LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT THAT DRAWS UPON RESEARCH ON DEEPER LEARNING AND SUPPORTS THE CREATION OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING, KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATION. LIKE MANY CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS, NYSCI HAS BEEN DEEPLY IMPACTED BY THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WE CLOSED OUR DOORS TO THE PUBLIC ON MARCH 14, 2020 AND HAVE REMAINED CLOSED, WITH PLANS TO OPEN IN THE SUMMER OF 2021. WE HAVE CHARTED A COURSE TO NOT ONLY ENSURE THAT NYSCI WILL ENDURE, BUT THAT WE EMERGE FROM THE PANDEMIC STRONGER AND MORE VIBRANT THAN EVER. WITHIN THE MUSEUM, AMONG THE COMMUNITIES WE ENGAGE, AND THROUGH NYSCI'S LEADERSHIP IN THE GLOBAL ARENA OF STEM LEARNING, WE ARE REDOUBLING OUR EFFORTS TO CREATE IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCES THAT ENABLE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TO FEEL CONFIDENT AND EMPOWERED AS STEM LEARNERS. AT THE MUSEUM, WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO REVITALIZE OUR OFFERINGS. THROUGHOUT OUR RE-OPENING YEAR, VISITORS WILL EXPERIENCE A NEW AND REVITALIZED NYSCI. WE WILL DEBUT THREE EXHIBITIONS: THE HAPPINESS EXPERIMENT; BUBBLES: SCIENCE IN SOAP; AND A REFURBISHED EXHIBIT ON ENERGY. IN ADDITION, THE CHARLES AND RAY EAMES CLASSIC, MATHEMATICA, WILL BE ENHANCED, AND THE ROTUNDA WILL BE REFRESHED TO PROVIDE A DRAMATIC AND INCLUSIVE WELCOME THAT IMMEDIATELY INVITES ALL OUR VISITORS TO DESIGN, MAKE AND PLAY. FOR OUR LOYAL AUDIENCES, WE HAVE DEVELOPED AND CURATED A LIBRARY OF CREATIVE ONLINE DESIGN AND MAKING ACTIVITIES; WE HAVE SUPPORTED OVER 1,400 TEACHERS THROUGH STEM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS; AND WE HAVE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS THROUGH FACILITATED ON-LINE PROGRAMMING AND THROUGH OUR IMPACTFUL, CAREER-FOCUSED YOUTH INITIATIVES. WE HAVE MADE A STRONG COMMITMENT TO HELP OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES OF CORONA AND ELMHURST HEAL AND RECOVER FROM THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC. NYSCI HAS LED THE ELMHURST CORONA RECOVERY COLLABORATIVE, A GROUP OF 20 NONPROFITS THAT ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THAT FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD, HEALTH AND HEALING PROGRAMS, AND EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES DESIGNED TO BUILD RESILIENCE. PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE DISTRIBUTED OVER 50,000 MEALS, PROVIDED ACCESS TO COVID-19 TESTING AND FLU SHOTS, AND ARE NOW WORKING TO HELP RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATIONS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 -BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBERS ALAN SINSHEIMER AND SETH DUBIN HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER ENGAGES AN EXTERNAL ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE THE FORM 990 AND REVIEWS IT WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE FORM 990 IS THEN PROVIDED TO EACH VOTING BOARD MEMBER ELECTRONICALLY VIA EMAIL BEFORE FILING. THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, RESPONDS TO ANY COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND SENIOR STAFF (WHICH INCLUDES ALL OFFICERS AND ALL NYSCI EMPLOYEES WHO ARE AT THE LEVEL OF DIRECTOR OR ABOVE) ARE SUBJECT TO NYSCI'S FORMAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (TRANSPARENCY) POLICY, WHICH SPECIFIES CATEGORIES OF REQUIRED REPORTING AND BOARD REVIEW OF SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS. ALL NYSCI EMPLOYEES ARE SUBJECT TO NYSCI'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, WHICH DESCRIBES PROHIBITIONS ON OUTSIDE WORK USING NYSCI TIME AND RESOURCES, INTERNAL REVIEW OF PROSPECTIVE OUTSIDE ACTIVITY, THE REQUIREMENT TO REPORT OUTSIDE COMPENSATION TO NYSCI, AND THE INSTITUTION'S WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY FOR REPORTING SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST. PERSONNEL SUBJECT TO NYSCI'S TRANSPARENCY POLICY ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT ANNUALLY ON CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, AND ARE INSTRUCTED TO REPORT ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS UNDER THIS POLICY AT SUCH OTHER TIMES AS THESE MAY ARISE. ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES ARE INSTRUCTED TO REPORT POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO THEIR SUPERVISOR. BOARD MEMBERS AND SENIOR STAFF ARE ISSUED A QUESTIONNAIRE ANNUALLY WHICH INCLUDES ALL REQUIRED CATEGORIES OF DISCLOSURE AND REPORTING UNDER NYSCI'S TRANSPARENCY POLICY. COMPLETION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE IS MANDATORY FOR ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND SENIOR STAFF. THE MOST RECENT QUESTIONNAIRES WERE COMPLETED IN AUGUST 2020. THERE ARE NO MANDATORY ANNUAL DISCLOSURES FOR OTHER PERSONNEL. IF A CONFLICT ARISES AT THE TRUSTEE OR OFFICER LEVEL, THIS IS REPORTED TO THE BOARD AND REVIEWED BY THE BOARD CHAIR'S DESIGNEE FOR DETERMINATION OF ACTION. IF AN EMPLOYEE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF NYSCI, THIS IS ADDRESSED WITH THE EMPLOYEE AT THE SUPERVISORY LEVEL, IN CONSULTATION WITH SENIOR MANAGEMENT AS NEEDED, AND A DETERMINATION IS MADE AS TO THE NECESSARY COURSE OF ACTION TO ELIMINATE OR MITIGATE THE CONFLICT. NYSCI'S WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY ALSO ADDRESSES REPORTING OF SUSPECTED EMPLOYEE UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR, INCLUDING UNALLOWABLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST; IN THESE INSTANCES, EMPLOYEES MAY REPORT TO A SUPERVISOR OR TO THE DESIGNATED COMPLIANCE OFFICER (CURRENTLY THE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES), WHO INVESTIGATES AND REPORTS TO THE BOARD FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR RESOLUTION.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PROVIDED THAT PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS DO NOT PARTICIPATE. THE BOARD USES APPROPRIATE AND ADEQUATE DATA TO DETERMINE THE REASONABLENESS OF THE COMPENSATION BEING CONSIDERED AGAINST INDUSTRY STANDARDS. THE BOARD DISCUSSES THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THE APPROPRIATE QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING, FOLLOWED BY A CLOSED-DOOR DISCUSSION WITH THE CEO. THE BOARD'S APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO THE CEO'S COMPENSATION, ALONG WITH ANY ASSOCIATED PERFORMANCE GOALS, ARE CAPTURED IN A FORMAL SIGNED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THE CEO. FOR KEY EMPLOYEES, THE CEO USES INDUSTRY STANDARDS SUBSTANTIATED BY APPROPRIATE DATA SUCH AS COMPENSATION SURVEYS, PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, AND A CONSIDERATION OF EQUITY AND PARITY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. WRITTEN AND SIGNED PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, WHICH INCLUDE FUTURE GOALS, ARE PREPARED AND DISCUSSED BETWEEN EACH KEY EMPLOYEE AND THE CEO. CHANGES TO A KEY EMPLOYEE'S COMPENSATION IS DOCUMENTED IN A WRITTEN MEMO FROM THE CEO TO THE KEY EMPLOYEE. DURING THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW PROCESS COMPENSATION IS EVALUATED AGAINST INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BENCHMARKS WHICH INCLUDE INDUSTRY SPECIFIC NORMS. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS WAS LAST CONDUCTED IN 2020. MOST RECENTLY THIS PROCESS WAS USED TO HIRE A CHIEF MARKETING & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER (11/2019). THE PROCESS INCLUDED A REVIEW BY THE ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT USING INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COMPARABILITY SURVEYS/ DATA. THE MARKETING AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD WERE INVOLVED IN REVIEWING THE JOB DESCRIPTION, PROVIDING INPUT ON CANDIDATES WHO APPLIED, INTERVIEWING THE FINALISTS, AND DETERMINING THE TOP CANDIDATE.
