The professional members have the right to elect positions within their discipline to the board of directors. The second class of members is the athlete members, made up of athletes who have either participated in the Olympic/World Champs/Pan Am Games within 10 years or have been a national team member within 2 years. The athlete members have the right to collectively elect 5 positions to the board of directors. the advisory council, consisting of gymnastics related organizations, appoints 3 members to the Board. A third class of members are the organizational members (YMCA, AAU etc), which as a group, appoint 3 members to the Board of Directors. The Board itself elects a Chair and other officers, as well as appointing Public Sector members.”

“The form 990 is reviewed in detail by the CFO and president. Then, a final draft of the form 990 is distributed via email to every member of the Board of Directors before it is filed with the IRS.”

“A Conflict of Interest questionnaire is completed by every Director, officer, member of any committee, and employee. The staff questionnaires are then reviewed by the President; the ethics committee is charged with reviewing the President's, the Board of Directors', and senior management's conflict of interest questionnaire. Potential conflicts of interest are brought to the attention of the President of the board, who then directs the matter to the full Board of Directors. This process is done annually. No Director, Officer, member of any committee, or employee shall participate in the negotiation, evaluation or approval by the organization of any contractual arrangement in which there is an actual or potential conflict of interest. Each director, officer, member of any committee, or employee, upon learning that the organization is proposing to enter into an arrangement in which he or she has a financial interest in such arrangement, promptly notifies the President in writing of the existence of such interest, and the President in turn discloses such interest to the Board of Directors.”

“In 2014, the Board of Directors commissioned a compensation review for the upper management and department directors of the organization, including the President/CEO, COO, CFO, VP of's of Marketing, Communications, and Member Services, Program Directors, and Event Director.”

“The Board of Directors commissioned a compensation analysis in 2014 that was used in the deliberative process of the President to evaluate and establish compensation levels of the other executive and management staff. The analysis included information of local and national sports organizations of similar size and scope.”
