“Sue kohn & tom kohn have a family relationship. Annette saxon & michael saxon have a family relationship.”

“The process by which the 990 is shared, is that the audit committee reviews the return with the cfo and senior management and the chair of the audit committee then distributes the return to the board of directors.”

“All members of the board of directors as well as all staff are required to sign our conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. Board members sign at our first meeting of the year and staff are required to sign at our annual payroll audit each fall, where they must come in person to pick up their live paycheck. Determinations of conflicts are made by the cfo and president based upon information from operations, procurement of goods & services and/or any contracted services being bid on, or rfp's being issued. Any conflicts that become known are shared with the chair of the board and individuals involved will be restricted from any voting on the issue, purchase or contract in question. The jcc does not prohibit a transaction with a conflict but will proceed with transparency and in the best interest of the organization.”

“The chair of the board of directors in conjunction with our major funding partner collaborate on the ceo's compensation. Comparisons are reviewed with other jcc's by reviewing 990's and reviewing compensation surveys or studies. Other top executive compensation is determined by the ceo and chair also with the review of comparable studies, surveys and 990's.”

“The organization will make any of its governing documents, policies and financial statements available to the public upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”

“Vision statement: the jcc will develop, promote and maintain a jewish neighborhood that strengthens and celebrates the baltimore jewish community by: - nurturing smaller communities within our jcc neighborhood among jews who visit our jccs, live in the baltimore community, and connect with us virtually; - maintaining that all jews are bound together as a community and responsible for one another; - promoting inclusive, spirited environments that celebrate the diversity of our community and the uniqueness of every jew, along with their family and friends; - establishing and enhancing mutually beneficial partnerships with jewish and other communal institutions; and - enhancing the ability of jcc professionals and volunteer leaders to exemplify jewish values in their daily interactions. Our "jcc neighborhood" invites individuals to progress along their personal journey of jewish identity and learning by connecting them with pathways filled with meaningful jewish experiences.”

“The jcc has approximately 400 volunteers made up of board members, committee members, school pta members, coaches and community leaders. Volunteers are an integral part of our programs and operations. The jcc would not be able to support as many individuals and families without the time and effort of our wonderful volunteers.”
