CEO Forum Inc.

“The bylaws were updated to show the change in the number of members of the governing body.”

“Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm. The return was reviewed in detail by the Director of Financial Operations and then sent to the Board for their review before being filed with the IRS.”

“The finance and management teams monitor all transactions. Any potential conflicts of interest identified are brought to the board's attention and the member with a conflict excuses himself from the decision making process. The remaining board members then vote to decide whether the transaction is in the best interests of the organization. Board members and officers are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest on an annual basis which are reviewed by the VP/Board Secretary.”

“The compensation committee, consisting of independent members of the board of directors, is responsible for determining compensation and benefits for the CEO and other corporate officers. In making their decisions, comparability data is referenced including compensation and benefits provided to individuals holding similar positions, at similar organizations, in similar geographic regions. All compensation related deliberations and decisions are recorded in communications with the HR contractor.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and finanical statements are available upon request.”

“The compensation reported on Form 990, Part VII and Schedule J, Part II is actually paid by a professional employment organization. CEO Forum "leases" these employees and in this way outsources the payroll process. The number of employees reported on Form 990, Part V, line 2a were the number of employees "leased" as of 12/31/2015.”

“The CEO Forum seeks to achieve its stated purpose by various programs. Currently, over 50 individuals participate in the mentoring program, 7 plus participate in the monthly conference calls, approximately 38 members participated in a "Spiritual Leadership Institute Class" which met 2 days over 7 separate sessions, approximately 10 participants attended Christ Ambassador classes which met in 12 sessions, over 200 attend the annual national forums, approximately a dozen couples participated at each of the seven regional dinners, and 30 women attended a spouse retreat (deleted quarterly conference call - no longer done). The CEO Forum in Asia has had rapid expansion in mainland China and is stable in Hong Kong. In China, our programs have expanded into 21 major cities, impacting 1,500 business leaders, and we hope to be in 30 by the end of 2017. CEO Forum seeks to encourage, equip, and educate its members through monthly devotionals, quarterly newsletters, a members only web-site, and through on-going, regular consistent, personal contact via office visits, phone calls, email, texts, and handwritten notes.”
