Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 1a
First class travel is allowed for the President and Chairman of the Board if the flights are longer than 3 hours. The President's spouse is required to attend all Board of Directors travel per his employment contract. The President's contract provides for social club dues as related to business entertainment.
Part I, Line 4b
The Association sponsors non-qualified supplemental retirement plans for certain executives. The plans are designed to provide benefits included in the employment agreement that may not be covered by the qualified plan as a result of limitations imposed by law on the defined contribution plan. One of the larger plans is conditional upon the President / CEO remaining employed for five years. Participant: Craig Purser; contribution: $423,500 Participant: Laurie Knight; contribution: $103,500

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
