The NCVB is an active partner in promoting these events and activities, and as such, is able to monitor the use of the funds in a very tangible way. Those grants that result from awards approved by the Metro Gov't Major Event Fund committee involve an independent application and review process and are ultimately approved by the Mayor's office for the City of Nashville. | ExplanationTxt |

| Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a | Upon approval from the board, on extremely rare occasions, chartered air service will be used when attendance is required at multiple vital events on the same day in different states and commercial air service will not allow for the necessary travel schedule. This is rare, and exceptional. The Board has also authorized the CEO's spouse to travel and attend a limited number of business-related events each year. If there is not a bona fide benefit to the organization, such travel expenses are treated as taxable compensation. The organization also provides a social club membership for the CEO, which is treated as compensation to the extent it is used for personal purposes. |

The form is then made available for review by any board members that wish to review it. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | The board-adopted Conflict of Interest Policy is reviewed annually with all board members and key staff. Each of these individuals completes a survey annually on which they are to disclose any situations that might give rise to any actual or perceived conflicts as they are defined by the Policy. These surveys are reviewed by leadership and key staff of the organization who are involved in reviewing all financial transactions of the organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | The board of directors of the organization hires the CEO. This person is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition to performance against established measurements, the review includes an analysis of compensation. In making this analysis, the committee reviews comparable compensation data from multiple sources including national surveys, data reported on comparable DMO Form 990s, among other resources. Based on the performance and comparable industry data, the committee establishes the CEO's compensation for the coming year. The compensation of other key employees is established by the CEO, utilizing industry comparison data as well, within the guidelines esablished by the board-approved operating budget. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | In general, other than as required by IRS regulations, the organization does not routinely make its governing documents and internal policies available to the general public.
