“Part VI, Section B, Line 12C Cadca is a small non-profit organization that promotes open communication between all employees regardless of position within the company and strives to uphold a strong and solid reputation within our field and among our professional colleagues. Cadca's conflict of interest policy outlines situations that may arise during the course of business with others and what actions are to be taken in the event of a conflict. Employees are expected to report any situation that may be viewed as a conflict of interest to their direct supervisor. Conflicts of interest have been defined as the employment of immediate family, acceptance of gifts, fees, or honoraria, and creating a conflict of interest for others. It is understood that within our field employees may be recognized as experts and given a financial stipend to speak. Cadca has capped the receipt of gifts at $250.00. Employees are on the honor system to uphold Cadca's values in their everyday line of work. If given reason to suspect or indicate anything less than cadca's values, employees will be questioned by the "CFO" and "CEO" to determine if a breach of conduct has occurred and what action to take. Employees failing to adhere to the policy may be terminated. Money received is processed by the office manager, given to the "CFO" or "DFO" for financial approval and processed by the AR associate. Through these checks and balances, any financial amount received that would compromise cadca's integrity would be subject to further examination and questioning. Money received that has been deemed questionable by the "CFO" is presented to the "CEO". The monies are returned with a polite letter explaining Cadca's Policy.”

“Part vi, section b, lines 15(a) & 15(b) the compensation committee of cadca's board is responsible for annually (last review was conducted in 2013) reviewing and approving the compensation of the "ceo" and senior staff of the organization.

If there are no changes, the "ceo" then forwards the form 990 to cadca's board of directors for review and approval.”

“FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE, LINE 4D COMMUNICATIONS CADCA Continues CDC Initiative to Promote Tobacco-Free Living Strategies: In 2013, CADCA continued its efforts to promote tobacco-free living strategies as part of the Community Transformation Grant awarded in 2011 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC"). This five-year grant has allowed CADCA to increase its tobacco use prevention resources for coalitions and develop greater opportunities for training on tobacco-related issues. As a dissemination grantee, CADCA continues to increase the number and types of messages our coalitions and national partners receive about tobacco-free living strategies. Both our in-house tobacco experts/project manager and our consultant on the grant, the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center ("SCLC"), provided subject matter expertise during three webinars, the 2013 National Leadership Forum and the 2013 Mid-Year Training Institute. Our portfolio of training on tobacco prevention and control included a total of seven in-depth workshops during the 2013 National Leadership Forum and the 2013 Mid-Year Training Institute and four quarterly 90-minute webinars. CADCA also disseminated key tobacco-free living messaging through social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, and hosted a Twitter chat on tobacco-free living strategies to observe the Great American Smokeout on Nov. 21, 2013. CADCA Hosts Successful Campaign to Raise Awareness of the Dangers of Medicine Abuse: In an effort to educate parents and other caregivers of the dangers of prescription and over-the-counter medicine abuse, in July 2013 CADCA launched its 5th annual CADCA 50 Challenge. A total of 56 coalitions from 31 states registered for the CADCA 50 Challenge, which urged coalitions to host educational events in their community during National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month in October. Events took on a variety of different forms. Some coalitions held parent luncheons where they presented CADCA's PowerPoint presentation on medicine abuse and gave out brochures available on CADCA's PreventRxAbuse.org website. Others held town hall meetings with the entire community where they discussed the key issues around medicine abuse and potential solutions. In addition, several coalitions combined an educational event with a prescription take back event, with many holding events on the DEA's National Take Back Day in October. The CADCA 50 Challenge was supported by longtime CADCA partner, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association ("CHPA"), which represents the leading makers of over-the-counter ("OTC") medicines. The Challenge was part of an annual campaign that CADCA launches every year with CHPA for National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month. New Video and Publication Developed to Help Coalitions Address Binge Drinking on College Campuses: To mark Alcohol Awareness Month, in April 2013 CADCA unveiled a new discussion guide, entitled College and Drinking: A Risky Curriculum. This new resource is a companion piece to a short video CADCA developed in partnership with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism ("NIAAA") that highlights research about excessive and binge drinking among college students. The publication is meant to stimulate discussion and to help coalitions plan their strategies to prevent dangerous drinking behavior. CADCA Co-Sponsors Three Town Hall Meetings on Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention: In the fall of 2013, CADCA organized three town hall meetings on prescription drug abuse. The town halls were held in Cincinnati, Ohio; Revere, Massachusetts; and Denver, Ohio. CADCA identified and selected two CADCA-member coalitions and a CADCA partner organization to serve as local hosts for the town hall meetings. Working in partnership with CADCA, each of the selected organizations held three rich and informative town hall meetings that explored the prescription drug abuse epidemic and shared national and local solutions”
