Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

No other committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body during 2016.

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

The board of directors reviews and approves the form 990 prior to its filing. The form 990 was authorized and signed by the organization's board chair.

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

The board of directors requires an annual declaration from all board members and senior management as to the existence and disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. The board members sign a disclosure statement. Any potential conflicts are discussed by the dis-interested board members, while the party in potential conflict is required to leave the room. Board meeting minutes will document the discussion and decision making process. In the event of a potential conflict, procedures to obtain competitive bids and diligence on fair market value will be established.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

Process for hiring new staff that consists of the leadership team (director-level staff) defining and approving a job description and salary range, with board input on postings for director-level staff, soliciting potential candidates via advertisement and networking, and candidate interviews. Please note that when changes to the executive director's salary are discussed, the board conducts these discussions during an executive session at which the executive director is not present.

IN 2016, WE SAW THE EFFORTS OF 350 MASS AND ALLIES PAY OFF IN SEVERAL MAJOR VICTORIES. AMONG THEM WERE THE CANCELLATION OF KINDER MORGAN'S PLANNED NATURAL GAS PIPELINE, WHICH WOULD HAVE PASSED THROUGH PARTS OF MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND THE DEFEAT OF EFFORTS TO MAKE ELECTRICITY CONSUMERS PAY THE COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION FOR NEW NATURAL GAS PIPELINES. WE ALSO SAW THE NETWORK GAIN NEW NODES AND VOLUNTEERS. IN JULY, 350 MASS LED THE ORGANIZING OF THE PEOPLE OVER PIPELINES MARCH, A FIVE-DAY, 43-MILE WALK TO PROTEST THE EXPANSION OF NATURAL GAS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE STATE. SOME 500 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN AT LEAST SOME PART OF THE MARCH AND THE ASSOCIATED EVENTS.CAMPUS DIVESTMENT:IN 2016, WE CONTINUED OUR SUPPORT OF UNIVERSITY DIVESTMENT GROUPS ON NUMEROUS MASSACHUSETTS CAMPUSES, AND LAUNCHED A MORE FOCUSED PROGRAM OF TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP: THE CLIMATE ORGANIZING FELLOWSHIP. WE HOSTED COHORTS OF APPROXIMATELY A DOZEN FELLOWS IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER, AND WELCOMED OUR FIRST GROUP OF FELLOWS PARTICIPATING FOR A FULL ACADEMIC YEAR IN THE FALL OF 2016. FELLOWS RECEIVED REGULAR TRAINING AND COACHING AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET FOR QUESTION-AND-ANSWER SESSIONS WITH THE CAMPUS DIVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, A GROUP OF PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS, FINANCIAL ADVISORS (FOCUSING ON SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTING), AND ACADEMICS. WE HAVE LONG SUPPORTED STUDENTS WORKING ON DIVESTMENT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS SYSTEM, AND IN 2016, THE UMASS SYSTEM BECAME THE FIRST MAJOR PUBLIC UNIVERSITY TO DIVEST FROM DIRECT HOLDINGS IN FOSSIL FUELS.
