“CMI'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION REVIEW POLICY, WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN APPROVING THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE PRESIDENT. THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED EVERY TWO YEARS BY AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT, QUALIFIED TO REVIEW SIMILAR POSITIONS IN COMPARABLE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. EACH YEAR, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF CMI'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH IS COMPOSED OF NON-INTERESTED MEMBERS, REVIEWS THE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT'S REPORT, INCLUDING APPROPRIATE COMPARABILITY DATA, AND MAKES A DETERMINATION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL COMPENSATION BASED ON ALL RELEVANT FACTORS, ENSURING THAT THE COMPENSATION IS REASONABLE. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE PRESIDENT'S TOTAL COMPENSATION, WHICH INCLUDES BOTH CURRENT COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS ARE DOCUMENTED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY IN THE COMMITTEE'S MINUTES AND RETAINED IN CMI'S RECORDS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15b THE COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990 IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (OR THE PRESIDENT, IN THE CASE OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR) WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF STAFF IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR AND IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPENSATION IS REASONABLE. IN FY16, CMI ENGAGED AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT A REVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PAY PRACTICES AND TO ESTABLISH SALARY RANGES FOR ALL POSITIONS BASED ON COMPARABILITY DATA. GENERALLY, THE MIDPOINT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SALARY RANGES FALLS WITHIN THE SALARY RANGE AVERAGES OF COMPARABLE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. PERFORMANCE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO ESTABLISH AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE'S COMPENSATION WITHIN THE APPROPRIATE SALARY RANGE. GOING FORWARD, CMI EXPECTS TO ENGAGE AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO REVIEW THE ORGANIZATION'S SALARY RANGES EVERY TWO YEARS.”

Form 990, part iii, line 4a, program service, public education and outreach: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the child mind institute has a public education mission to provide authoritative, science-based information and resources about children's mental health to parents, educators, and other mental health professionals. Childmind.org - the child mind institute's web site contains a wealth of information, news, advice and strategies for parents, educators, and other professionals dealing with psychiatric and learning disorders in children and adolescents. Childmind.org has partnered with dozens of other sites and blogs to share content and enlarge the footprint of the articles and resources we have created, and a robust social media campaign uses tools like facebook and twitter to spread the word. Speak up for kids - speak up for kids is the child mind institute's national public education campaign held each year to battle the barriers that can prevent kids and families from seeking life-changing treatment. By promoting awareness and engaging a broad coalition of partners, the campaign sparks the kind of national attention that children's mental health truly deserves. Speak up for kids features events, influential speakers, resources for parents and families, synchronized digital activities, and multi-platform media engagement. Adam jeffrey katz memorial lecture - designed to raise awareness and educate the public about childhood psychiatric and learning disorders, this annual lecture was launched in 2003 as a living memorial to adam katz, who struggled with adhd and dyslexia. The lecture features a leading expert in the field, followed by a candid conversation with a prominent guest about living with a mental health disorder. Past honorees have included actor orlando bloom, actress and producer trudie styler, producer brian grazer, singer naomi judd, actress lorraine bracco, and actress whoopi goldberg. On the shoulders of giants - each year, the child mind institute's scientific research council selects a scientist to receive the distinguished scientist award for his or her lifetime of research and contributions to the fields of child mental health and developmental neuroscience. At the on the shoulders of giants symposium, the awardee is a featured speaker, along with two generations of his or her proteges. This presentation gives the research community, and particularly younger scientists, a view into the transformational power of dedication and collaboration in science. Student art project - each year, the child mind institute invites four local public and independent schools to participate in our gallery program dedicated to displaying works of art created by student artists. Critical to child development and academic success, art promotes self-esteem and provides opportunities for self-expression. Works from the student art project are prominently exhibited at the child mind institute headquarters and a virtual gallery is available on childmind.org. Parent and educator workshops on clinical topics - the parent and educator workshops cover a range of issues affecting children, including selective mutism, adhd, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and others. These educational workshops provide an opportunity for parents, teachers, and other caring professionals to gain new knowledge, insights and skills to improve their ability to parent and nurture children with these disorders and help them thrive.
