National Academy of Public Administration Foundation

“The President is a non-voting member of the Board.”

“The Board of Directors of The National Academy of Public Administration Foundation at a special meeting duly convened on the 18th day of September, 2020, resolved that the corporation be dissolved. All of the assets of the corporation were distributed in September 2021 to the National Academy of Public Administration, the Foundation's supported 501(c)(3) organization in accordance with the dissolution clause of the Bylaws.”

“The Foundation has three classes of membership. They are the fellows, senior fellows, and the honarary fellows.”

“Each year the fellows and senior fellows may elect new directors to replace those whose terms have expired. The fellows may nominate one or more candidates for election to the Board of Directors by petition. The nominees receiving the most votes are declared elected to the vacant positions.”

“The Foundation's bylaw changes are subject to approval by the membership of fellows.”

“The Federal Form 990 is reviewed by the CFO, then distributed to the Board of Directors prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service.”

“The Foundation has a written conflict of interest policy for its Board of Directors and fellows and other experts who serve on Academy projects/study panels. Board members are required to disclose actual and potential conflicts of interest to the Executive Committee of the Foundation's Board of Directors whenever a conflict arises. The disinterested members of the Executive Committee make a determination as to whether a conflict exists. The Foundation's fellows and outside experts who are asked to participate on project/study panels are required to complete and submit a conflict of interest form, including a written statement that outlines any potential conflict or potential source of bias, if applicable, and to promptly report any potential conflicts or potential sources of bias that may arise during the course of the project/study. These forms are reviewed by the Project Director, and any that include potential conflicts or potential sources of bias are referred to the Program Area Director and President for review and consideration. If a significant conflict or source of bias is found to exist, the matter may be addressed by (A)disqualifying the individual from participating as a member of the panel in question, or (B) appointing other panel members so as to obtain a balance of differing backgrounds or perspectives. If any potential conflicts or potential sources of bias are reported by an individual, and the individual is not disqualified from serving on the panel, the potential conflicts or potential sources of bias are disclosed orally at a public meeting of the panel and posted on the Foundation's website.”

“The Congressional Charter of the National Academy of Public Administration is posted on its website. The Federal Form 990 is posted on www.guidestar.org. The Foundation's other governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and full financial statements are available to the public upon request.”

“National Academy of Public Administration Foundation does not directly hire or compensate employees. All employees are employees of National Academy of Public Administration, a related organization exempt under Section 501(c)(3). National Academy of Public Administration and the Founcation have entered into a cost sharing arrangement under which the Foundation reimburses National Academy of Public Administration for the Foundation's allocable share of the compensation of certain employees for performing services provided to the Foundation. Compensation reimbursed by the Foundation is not additive to the compensation reported by National Academy of Public Administration.”
