Governance Explanations

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

“Form 990 is reviewed for completeness by the chief financial officer. It is then provided to the chairman of the finance committee and all committee members where it is reviewed and questions are asked of management and the independent auditors as appropriate. It is then approved by the finance committee and reported to the full board of directors.”

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

“Regularly, and at least annually, the general manager reviews with each person in the designated groups the compliance requirements of the conflict of interest policy. Each person must then certify with their signature that they understand the requirements and are not in any violation of the requirements.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The contractual salary of the general director is determined by a committee of the board of directors, all of whom are independent directors. The committee considers comparable data which is obtained through resources of opera america, the national association of opera companies. Opera america tracks and reports the salaries of the top executive directors of all opera companies in the united states of comparable size. The salaries of employees are typically less than the average salaries of similar positions in opera companies of comparable size.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Any interested person may obtain a copy of the organization's form 990 upon request, or they may make an appointment and inspect a copy of the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements at the company's office.”
