Pt VI, Line 4 Bylaws were amended in September 2018 Other Fiscal Year 2019 was very unusual for BBC, because of exceptionally high revenues. These included substantial funds raised for the $100,000 minimum corpus for two endowments for Big Bend National Park. One is the "Trails Endowment" and the other the "Fossil Exhibit Endowment". Also, during the year, BBC received generous bequests, which had not been anticipated. BBC moved some of these funds into endowment programs and established a board-designated operating reserve fund. None of these funds were immediately expensed for program purposes, but BBC anticipates the long-term benefits will be substantial for support of its mission. Pt VI, Line 15a At Executive Director's contract inception, compensation was was reviewed by President and established with consideration of a peer organization industry salary survey from (Public Lands Alliance or Friends Alliance), and employee's performance and tenure. Also a survey of board members was conducted to assist the President in the performance evaluation. The contract was filed after agreement between President and Executive Director.
