Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“Two board members are married.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“Aces is a membership organization. A membership fee is considered a donation as there is de minimus benefit. Members do not elect board members.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The board president, treasurer and ceo review the 990 before sending to the entire board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Board members and staff are required to contact key staff people or board members if there is a change in their status.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The executive committee of the board reviews the ceo annually to determine if any change in salary is appropriate. National compensation surveys for nonprofit ceo positions are referenced in the review process. In light of the fact that aspen and the roaring fork valley are such high cost of living areas, the executive committee has determined that the aces' ceo salary is appropriate since it is in line with or less than salaries paid to ceo's in new york, washington dc and new jersey. The board in full must approve any recommendations from the executive committee through the budget approval process.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Made available to the general public as requested.”
