The global board of directors appoints/approves the uli europe chairman, the uli asia chairman, and the uli america's chairman. The full members elect the trustees (who also serve as the members of ulif).”

“The global board of directors is uli's governing body. The following are action items they must bring to the trustees for approval: the trustees have authority over the articles of incorporation; the bylaws (uli and ulif), adopting a plan or merger or consolidation with another corporation, authorizing the voluntary dissolution of the organization or revoking proceedings therefore, authorizing the sale, lease, exchange or mortgage of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the organization.”

“Process for making the final 990 available to the voting members of the governing body prior to its being filed with the irs. - independent auditors review the 990 with the audit committee - the final 990 is posted to a secure area of the uli website. - notice of the location of the form 990 is emailed to each board member with the communication that they have two weeks in which to review and provide any comments to uli management.”

“On an annual basis the board of directors are sent a communication requesting that they identify any relationships defined as a conflict. Responses are submitted to the office of the evp global leaders, if any, are resolved.”

“Uli retains an independent, outside compensation consultant to review the compensation for its key executives. As part of this process, the consultant identifies comparable organizations and obtains the most current compensation data available for them. The consultant subsequently prepares a detailed written report that compares uli's current executive compensation against similar positions in like organizations. The written report also describes the study methodology and states the consultant's opinion regarding the reasonableness of uli's executive compensation relative to the identified market comparables.”
