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

  • 1a · First-class or charter travel
  • 1a · Travel for companions
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES THE BENEFITS OF FIRST CLASS TRAVEL AND TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS TO CLAYTON DIAMOND, JORGE VISO, LISA TOWNSHEND, AND BRENDAN O'SHEA. COMPANIONS PROVIDE ESSENTIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND MEMBER SERVICES AT EVENTS AND MEETINGS AND THEREFORE THE BENEFITS ARE NOT REPORTABLE AS TAXABLE INCOME TO THE LISTED PERSON.
PART I, LINE 1B
TRAVEL CLASS IS REVIEWED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE COMMITTEE. FIRST CLASS OR BUSINESS CLASS TRAVEL IS APPROVED FOR THE PRESIDENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND THEIR COMPANIONS, WITH THE CONDITION THAT DISCOUNTS AND USE OF UPGRADE CERTIFICATES AND COUPONS ARE USED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THE PRESIDENT AND/OR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WILL DECIDE THE CLASS OF TRAVEL FOR OTHER EMPLOYEES AND THEIR COMPANIONS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.

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.
