National Association for Campus Activities

“The organization has members whom all have equal rights.”

“The members elect the persons who serve on the board of directors.”

“The executive director, who also serves as the secretary on the board of directors, reviewed the 990 before it was filed.”

“Members of the board of directors sign conflict of interest statements that are updated yearly. Each year, the incoming chair and chair elect of the board attends a training called exceptional boards held by the american society of association executives (asae). Part of the training is on conflict of interest disclosure and monitoring. This training equips these officers with the understanding of the need to avoid any taint of conflict of interest at the board level. It creates a culture in which transparency is required and because these board members' positions at their schools are similar, policing each other as to how an individual's vote might financially or otherwise benefit the individual is easy for them to determine and bring to light.”

“Compensation for the executive director is established using comparability data from the association compensation and benefits study obtained from the asae. The most recent publication of the data was recently acquired. Information from that publication was also compared to a number of internet resources, which is undocumented in our records. At the end of each fiscal year, the executive director is evaluated by the board of directors based on the written expectations he is given at the beginning of the fiscal year. This, along with the compensation data gathered from asae, is the basis for increases, if any, in compensation.”

“Salaries for all key employees are based on research from the asae publication and compared to local wage data obtained from internet research.”

“Our governing documents are provided on our website. Our financial statements are published in our annual report, which is also posted on our website. The audited financial statements are kept readily available in our office and provided upon demand to anyone who requests them.”

“The national association for campus activities (naca) advances campus activities in higher education through a business and learning partnership, creating educational and business opportunities for its school and professional members.”
