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.

Schedule J

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
SIA PAYS ITS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CEO ("CEO") FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THEIR SERVICES WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE BOARD WILL REVIEW BENEFITS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO COMPENSATION ANNUALLY. A WRITTEN PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE CEO IS PREPARED ANNUALLY AFTER SEEKING INPUT FROM THE BOARD AT A BOARD MEETING. A SELF EVALUATION PREPARED BY THE CEO IS CONSIDERED IN THE WRITTEN PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (THE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT-ELECT AND THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT) RECOMMENDS THE CHANGE IN COMPENSATION AND BRINGS THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD FOR A VOTE. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETS WITH THE CEO TO DISCUSS THE EVALUATION AND ANY CHANGES IN COMPENSATION.
PART I, LINE 7
THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CEO REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INCLUDED A CONTRIBUTION TO A 457B PLAN WHICH WAS PAID AS OTHER COMPENSATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $8,000.
