“All officers, directors, trustees, and key employees are covered under the conflict of interest policy. Annually, all members are required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire and disclose potential or actual conflicts that may exist. The organization's director of finance monitors and reviews the completed conflict of interest questionnaires to determine if a potential or actual conflict of interest exists with the organization. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, the organization's director of finance brings that conflict of interest to the attention of the chairman of the board for further consideration. If a conflict of interest exists, that member is excused from discussion or voting on issues relating to said conflict.”

“The executive compensation committee (the "committee") of the board of trustees of roosevelt university, a related organization and sole corporate member, shall review and approve the cash and non-cash compensation policies and programs and major changes in the organization's benefit plan that are applicable to the executive director of the auditorium theatre. The process with respect to the executive director is as follows: 1.the committee reviews compensation data from comparable peer organizations; 2. The president of roosevelt reviews and approves the annual written performance goals of the executive director; 3. The committee reviews and approves the president's decisions to adjust compensation for the executive director after the completion of the annual review of the executive director. The organization has a written employment contract with the executive director; 4. The committee documents the results of their review and approval.”

“The organization does not compensate any officers other than the executive director; therefore, this answer has been marked as "no".”

“The financial statements, governing documents, and conflict of interest policy are available to the public for review upon request.”

“For 125 years the auditorium has taken pride in providing the most inspiring artists, groundbreaking performers and diverse productions. Rather than limit ourselves to one artistic discipline, we continually showcase the finest cross section of artistic works possible-dancers, singers, and musicians who possess elite talent, and the highest level of dedication to their craft. As time has progressed we've continued to provide an eclectic and inspiring assortment of productions. Simply sitting beneath the sweeping arches and contemplating the breadth of talent to grace the theatre is astounding. Former presidents theodore roosevelt and william mckinley gave speeches where, years later, incandescent musicians such as jimi hendrix, the doors, aretha franklin, and elton john performed. Whether frank sinatra or itzhak perlman, the beach boys or booker t. Washington, we are proud of all those who have graced our stage, but we are always focused on improving and enhancing the quality of our lineup-for a landmark theatre in one of the world's greatest cities, nothing else will suffice. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and sublime talent was once again evident throughout our 2013-2014 fiscal year. Programming included: ballet west, the hungarian state folk ensemble, cloud gate theatre of taiwan, the houston ballet, alvin ailey american dance theater, river north dance chicago, and the paul taylor dance company. This riveting lineup of dynamic artistry demonstrates the auditorium's versatility and our ability to showcase the finest productions to be found throughout the world. Additionally, we were again proud to showcase our kinetic, self-produced musical event, "too hot to handel: the jazz gospel messiah," which graced our stage in honor of the dr. Martin luther king jr. Holiday. "too hot to handel" is one of the auditorium's signature events-and a true celebration of diversity and inclusion. We are honored to host the joffrey ballet, our in-residence dance company since 1998. They perform their fall, winter, spring and nutcracker seasons on the auditorium theatre stage. As evidence of our commitment to quality and eclecticism, each season we also present a mix of broadway productions and contemporary music concerts. Although we are committed to providing inspiring programming, our enrichment programs (which reach approximately 10,000 young people each year) comprise an equally integral area of focus. Programs such as "hands together, heart to art," a summer camp for children who have experienced the death of a parent, are crucial to using artistic experiences - music, dance, theatre, and song - as a conduit for growth, guidance and healing. Similarly, we believe that it is our responsibility to use our national historic landmark stage to provide guidance and lifelong learning opportunities for the teachers who comprise the fiber and the future of our educational system. In accordance with these objectives, we created artsxchange, a collaborative and original program designed specifically to assist chicago public school educators with teaching the arts to their students. With a seating capacity of over 3,800 and our status as a national historic landmark and a designated chicago landmark, the auditorium is proud of our extensive history of exceptional achievements. Approximately 250,000 patrons visit our theatre each year, and we are honored to serve as cultural, civic and artistic ambassadors to chicago, and the world. The auditorium theatre firmly believes in the transformative power of the arts and the recurring impact they can make on the landscape that surrounds us. An exposure to the arts speaks to our passion and expressiveness, and provides the energy and imagination that fuel and form our communities. The soul of humanity is as worthy of recognition as our collective reason, or our minds-and the arts creates a window for contemplating and embracing our most passionate impulses, and our creative spirits.”
