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

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
THE CEO'S COMPENSATION PACKAGE IS LAID OUT IN HER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. EACH YEAR THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETS TO REVIEW HER PERFORMANCE AND RECOMMENDS ANY CHANGES TO HER SALARY. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE PERFORMS A STUDY TO REVIEW CEO'S IN SIMILAR ROLES EACH YEAR TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR DECISION. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE THEN RECOMMENDS THE SALARY ADJUSTMENT TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL.
PART I, LINE 7
THE CEO'S BONUS WAS DECIDED ON BY A VOTE OF THE COMPENSATION COMITTEE OF THE BOARD. ALL OTHER BONUSES ARE DECIDED ON BY THE CEO.

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.
