Each Governing Director shall have a vote and count toward a quorum on standing committees. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, a majority of the Governing Directors comprising a standing committee shall constitute a quorum, and the act of a majority of the Governing Directors comprising a standing committee shall be an act of the committee. The standing committees may meet through virtual attendance or other communication equipment by means of which all committee members participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. An Executive Committee which shall have and exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors while the Board of Directors is not in meeting, subject to any statutory, Bylaws, or Board-imposed limitations on the Committee's action. A written report of the action taken by the Executive Committee shall be made at the next meeting of the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 6 Classes of members or stockholders Foundation Members have an ongoing engagement with the University characterized by extraordinary financial support, advocacy and involvement. Foundation Members shall be elected by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided. Foundation Members shall be encouraged to attend the Foundation's annual meeting and shall be eligible to serve on Board committees without voting privileges and without counting toward a quorum. The Membership and Governance Committee shall at least annually report to the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Foundation the names of its nominees to be Foundation Members. Foundation Members shall be elected by majority vote of the Board of Directors. No person shall be eligible for election for membership until he or she has been nominated according to the process outlined above. Each Foundation Member shall be entitled to one vote on any matter submitted to a vote of the members or required by law to be voted on by the members. Each Foundation Member shall serve until such individual resigns or is removed as a member by majority vote of the Board of Directors for any reason. In addition, any Foundation Member who fails to meet the requirements of membership as outlined by the Foundation Membership Program, as it may exist and be amended from time to time, is deemed to have resigned as a Foundation Member, absent good cause shown and approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. For good cause to be shown, the Membership and Governance Committee shall first review the matter and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether good cause has been shown. Any Foundation Member may resign by filing a written resignation with the Secretary. Membership in the Foundation is not transferable or assignable. Members have no rights to receive distributions of income or assets from the organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing body Election of Governing Directors: The Board of Directors shall meet at least annually to elect Governing Directors, each of whom shall serve for a term of three (3) years. No Governing Director shall serve more than four (4) three-year terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Governing Director's term shall be extended by the Board of Directors for an appropriate period beyond four (4) three-year terms if the Governing Director is serving as the Board Chair, Board Chair-Elect, or Immediate Past Board Chair at the time their term would otherwise expire. In addition, the Board of Directors may, in special circumstances, by majority vote permit Governing Directors to have a leave of absence which may include temporary suspension of the accrual of their term. The Membership and Governance Committee shall nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors as Governing Directors. Nominees are not required to be members of the Foundation and shall be presented by the Membership and Governance Committee to the Board of Directors prior to the Board meeting at which the nominees will be considered for election as Governing Directors.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The form is sent to accounting firm Ernst & Young for their review of the information. After review, the information is shared with the Board of Directors and the form is reviewed and discussed in detail with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. After this review, Ernst & Young signs as paid preparer and the form is filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The Foundation adopted and abides by a conflicts of interest policy to protect the Foundation's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction, arrangement, or operating practice that might benefit the private interest of a director as defined in the bylaws, or an officer, member of a Board of Directors committee, or key employee of the Foundation. The conflicts of interest policy is intended to supplement, but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations. The conflict of interest disclosure form is sent out each year to every member of the Board of Directors, including officers, Board committee members, and key employees. After the forms are completed, any reported items are summarized by the General Counsel and sent to every member of the Audit Committee for review. The members of the Audit Committee determine if any conflicts exist. Any questions or further research required is done by legal counsel who reviews the summary sent to the Audit Committee and then confers with the Audit Committee chair. A summary of the review and its conclusions is then given at the next Audit Committee meeting. Directors or Officers who have declared a conflict of interest, or who have been found to have a conflict of interest, shall refrain from participating in consideration of proposed transactions unless the Board or Foundation President requests information or interpretation for special reasons. Should a conflict of interest matter require an Executive Committee or Board vote to resolve, those concerned shall not be present at the time of the vote.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official The Compensation Sub-committee (committee) uses comparability data that is prepared by a third-party compensation consultant. That third-party provides comparative data for salary and total cash compensation. The data and perspective as to the reasonableness of current salaries helps to inform committee decisions regarding proposed salary and total compensation for each disqualified person. The data reflects similar organizations and/or entities from which the Foundation may attract executive talent and provides compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions. The committee reviews compensation of all disqualified persons including all employees who have substantial influence over the affairs of the organization. Substantial influence is defined as having ultimate responsibility for implementing the decisions of the governing body or for supervising the management, administration, or operation of the organization. These positions include the CEO, Senior Vice-presidents, employees holding Board-appointed titles and those employees whose responsibilities rise to the level of directing, or impacting upon, financial controls and/or assets of the Foundation With support from the external compensation data and in alignment with the Foundation compensation philosophy statement, the President of the Foundation makes recommendations for approval by the committee for compensation packages of any disqualified person except him/herself. The President's compensation is presented by the chair of the committee. The committee reviews all the information presented, considers the recommendation of the President (or committee chair) and debates the issues of compensation openly before voting on each individual. The intermediate sanctions compensation review and approval process occurs annually or upon a change in personnel.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public by accessing our website or upon request.

The Chair-Elect of the Board shall serve as vice-chair of the Executive Committee.

Each member of the Executive Committee shall continue as such until a successor is appointed, unless such member shall be sooner removed from such Executive Committee, or unless such member shall cease to qualify as a member thereof. The Board of Directors may appoint Life Directors to the Executive Committee without a vote and without counting toward a quorum.
