Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“Founding members (the two founding companies), producer members (ethanol plants), associate members (any other organization).”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“Founding members may appoint their respective ceo's or other senior executive employee to the board of directors. Founding members also have the right to vote to elect or remove other directors from the board. Producer members in good standing have the right to vote to elect or remove directors representing producer members to or from the board. Members have no other voting rights as members.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“A draft copy of the form 990 is delivered to the organization's controller. The controller along with the ceo perform a detail review of the draft form 990. A final draft is provided to the full board for their review prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12

“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers officers and employees. It is the responsibility of each covered person to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest to the chief operating officer and/or the controller, or, if an executive officer, to the board of directors, who shall be responsible for determining whether such transaction or relationship constitutes a conflict of interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“In order to establish the compensation of the ceo and other top management officials, a committee of the board of directors compares ceo and other top management official salary data to similar organizations. The compensation is then approved by a board committee. This process was most recently undertaken in 2014.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents and financial statements available to the public upon request. The organization does not make its conflict of interest policy available to the public.”
