Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“Officers are provided with a copy of form 990 and form 990T for review and discussion prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“Review and approvel by the compensation committee of the governing body is required for all CEO compensation. The CEO is not involved in such decisions. Contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping for deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation decisions are maintained by the organization. CEO compensation includes base compensation, bonuses and incentive compensation as approved by the governing body. The CEO is a very risky & controversial position; he has already been threatened and attacked; there is an inherent risk to the CEO and therefore the Organization itself,considering his importance to the organization. The committee evaluates the competitiveness of compensation as compared to comparable non-profit organizations, using Form 990 data and non-profit survey data. An extenal independent compensation consultant has been contracted by the organization.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

“Forms 990 and 990T are made available upon request for inspection at the organizations office location.”
