“The executive committee has authority to take official action between meetings of the full board on all matters except those related to organizational structure, property transactions, and other actions requiring two-thirds majority vote of the full board.”

“Membership in clemson alumni association is limited to the alumni of clemson university. Should there be issues presented to the membership body by the board of directors, members have the right to vote on such at a called annual meeting.”

“Four directors of caa are ex officio directors as follows: (i) the chairman of the board of trustees of clemson university, (ii) the chairman of the board of visitors of clemson university, (iii) the chairman of the board of directors of clemson university foundation, and (iv) the president of the board of directors of iptay. These individuals may appoint a member of his or her respective board to serve in his or her stead for such time as they serve in their respective role.”

“All items of action from all committees went to the full board for action and have therefore been documented in the full board minutes.”

“The form 990 is sent to all board members for review and comments, with the finance and risk committee of the board having specific responsibility for the detailed review of the form 990 and addressing any questions from the board as a whole. These actions occur prior to the filing of the form 990.”

“Clemson alumni association board members and officers receive a copy of the conflict of interest policy annually for review and signature. Any director or officer who has a conflict shall make a prompt and full disclosure to the board of directors prior to any action on such contract or transaction by the board of directors. If a conflict is deemed to exist, such person shall not vote on, nor use his or her personal influence on, nor participate in (other than to present factual information or to respond to questions) the discussions or deliberations with respect to such contract or transactions.”

“Each caa employee receives on-going feedback on their performance from their supervisor, including an annual performance review spanning the duration of a 12-month period. In the case of the ceo, the board chair facilitates this performance review process in consultation with the board membership. As a result of this ongoing performance review process and in conjunction with the annual budgeting process, caa employees will be recommended from time to time by their supervisor for either cost-of-living based compensation adjustments or merit-based increases, as warranted. These recommendations are ultimately reviewed and, where approved by the ceo, incorporated into the organization's annual budget which is reviewed and approved by the board's finance committee and subsequently the full board of directors. Additionally, the organization maintains a commitment to regularly monitoring market data on compensation as a means of benchmarking.”

“Clemson alumni association's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
