| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 | IN 2020, IEEE MEMBERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND THE ORGANIZATION, CAME TOGETHER IN RESPONSE TO THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC. DESPITE THE LOSS OF FACE-TO-FACE OPPORTUNITIES AND INTERACTION, THE ROLE OF IEEE BECAME EVEN MORE IMPERATIVE: TO FACILITATE THE EXCHANGE OF KNOWLEDGE, ADVANCE THE TECHNICAL STATE OF THE ART, PROMOTE GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS FOR PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE, AND RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND RECOGNITION OF OUR MEMBERS' CONTRIBUTIONS. IEEE OPERATIONS NOT ONLY CONTINUED BUT INTENSIFIED TO MEET THE INCREASED NEED FOR ACCESS TO TECHNICAL RESOURCES; THE NEED FOR SWIFTER DISSEMINATION OF PANDEMIC-RELATED PAPERS, A SEAMLESS TRANSITION TO ONLINE PLATFORMS FOR CONFERENCES AND EVENTS AND EMBRACING NEW WAYS TO CONNECT AND COMMUNICATE. WE LEARNED EVEN MORE WAYS TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO WORK SMARTER AND TO REACH WIDER AUDIENCES BY ENGAGING THEM HOW AND WHERE IT WORKED BEST FOR THEM. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: | VISION STATEMENT: IEEE WILL BE ESSENTIAL TO THE GLOBAL TECHNICAL COMMUNITY AND TO TECHNICAL PROFESSIONAL EVERYWHERE AND BE UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED FOR THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF TECHNOLOGY AND OF TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS IN IMPROVING GLOBAL CONDITIONS. |

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | IEEE HAS AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW PROCESS THAT IS COMPLETED BEFORE THE FORM 990 IS FILED WITH THE IRS. THE RETURN IS FIRST REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PAST PRESIDENT, TREASURER, PAST TREASURER, AND THE CFO/ASSISTANT TREASURER, BEFORE BEING PRESENTED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, WHICH CONSISTS OF MEMBERS OF THE IEEE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE RETURN IS POSTED TO THE IEEE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECURE PORTAL FOR BOARD MEMBERS TO REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | IEEE REQUIRES THAT OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS SUBMIT CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE FORMS WHICH ARE REVIEWED FOR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. ALL IEEE EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TRAINING AND THOSE WITH AUTHORITY TO MAKE FINANCIAL EXPENDITURES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A DISCLOSURE FORM. AN OFFICER OR DIRECTOR WHO DOES NOT COMPLETE THE REQUIRED CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE FORM IS REMOVED FROM SERVICE ON THE COMMITTEE OR BOARD. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE IEEE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THROUGH ITS EXTERNAL LEGAL COUNSEL ENGAGED A COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE IEEE WITH MARKET COMPARABILITY DATA AND A REASONABLENESS RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO COMPENSATION PAID TO DISQUALIFIED PERSONS AS DEFINED UNDER SECTION 4958 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, TO ENABLE IEEE TO ESTABLISH A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER SECTION 4958. A COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF THE IEEE PRESIDENT, THE IEEE PAST PRESIDENT, AND THE IEEE PRESIDENT-ELECT (THE EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE) IS CHARGED WITH EVALUATING THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE OF THE IEEE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WHO SERVES AS THE CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER ("ED & COO"), AND A COMMITTEE OF INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS AND NON-BOARD MEMBERS (THE IEEE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS & COMPENSATION COMMITTEE) IS CHARGED WITH EVALUATING THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE OF OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, STAFF EXECUTIVE, MANAGING DIRECTORS, CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER, CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER, GENERAL COUNSEL AND CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER. THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT PROVIDED THESE COMMITTEES WITH MARKET DATA FROM PUBLISHED SOURCES FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS FROM BOTH TAX-EXEMPT AND FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED AT THE TOTAL REWARDS LEVEL AND INCLUDED ALL COMPENSATION COMPONENTS. EXTERNAL MARKET COMPARISONS WERE BASED ON TWO PRIMARY SOURCES OF DATA: (1) FORM 990 FILINGS FOR A GROUP OF PEER ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFIED BY COMPENSATION CONSULTANT BASED ON VARIOUS CRITERIA AND (2) PUBLISHED SURVEYS; SCOPE CUTS INCLUDING INDUSTRY, FTES AND REVENUE WERE SELECTED THAT REPRESENTED ORGANIZATIONS COMPARABLE TO IEEE. THE FOLLOWING SCREENING CRITERIA WERE USED TO SELECT COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS: (1) NTEE CODE: (A) GENERAL SCIENCE INSTITUTIONS, (B) ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES, (C) PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY, AND (D) RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS; (2) INCOME AND ASSETS; AND (3) EMPLOYEE SIZE. ONCE ORGANIZATIONS WERE SCREENED USING THESE CRITERIA, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS COLLECTED: (I) WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION HAS INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE, (II) WHETHER THEY ARE A STANDARD-SETTING ORGANIZATION; (III) WHETHER THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PUBLISHING ACTIVITY; AND (IV) THE EXTENT OF ITS FOCUS ON CONTRACT RESEARCH. THE TWO COMMITTEES REVIEW INDIVIDUAL AND MARKET DATA AND DEBATE AND DOCUMENT THEIR DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT IS REASONABLE AND THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES. THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT PROVIDED A "PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLE COMPENSATION" OPINION LETTER FOR THE IEEE FILES. |
