Desc	CHAPTER SERVICES AND GRANTSCHAPTERS ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF SVA. ALL SVA CHAPTERS ARE UNITED WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT PEER-TO-PEER SUPPORT THROUGH AN SVA CHAPTER FACILITATES POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS. EVERY CHAPTER WAS AND IS FOUNDED AS A GRASSROOTS EFFORT BY INDIVIDUAL STUDENT VETERANS WHO RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT ON THEIR CAMPUS. OUR CHAPTER SERVICES AND GRANTS AID THE CREATION, SUSTAINMENT, AND GROWTH OF CHAPTERS. WE ADVISE IN THE CREATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A STRATEGIC PLAN TO HELP CHAPTERS FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS AND ESTABLISH CLEAR PRIORITIES BY TAKING INVENTORY OF WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO THEIR UNIQUE COMMUNITY ON CAMPUS. CHAPTERS CAN APPLY FOR GRANTS THAT SERVE AS SEED FUNDING TO HELP THEM EXECUTE THEIR CHAPTER-SPECIFIC MISSION AND GOALS. WE SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND GUIDANCE VIA OUR CHAPTER CONSULTATION SESSIONS WHICH CHAPTERS MAY SCHEDULE AT ANY TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS OF OUR TEAM OF EXPERTS. WE OFFER ONLINE TRAINING FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH WEBINAR-BASED SESSIONS. WE CONNECT OUR CHAPTERS WITH EACH ANOTHER TO PLAN REGIONAL EVENTS. WE MOBILIZE CHAPTER MEMBERS TO ADVOCATE FOR POLICY CHANGES AT THE CAMPUS, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. FINALLY, WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH CHAPTERS TO HELP MEMBERS ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS AND BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS.	Desc

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B	THE FEDERAL FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY OUR EXTERNAL PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, MARCUM LLP. ONCE THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 IS COMPLETED, IT IS SUBMITTED TO SVA'S PRESIDENT AND CEO FOR REVIEW. AFTER THE PRESIDENT AND CEO REVIEWS THE DRAFT, IT IS SUBMITTED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, WHICH CONSISTS OF FOUR BOARD MEMBERS. AFTER BEING REVIEWED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS BEFORE AUTHORIZING MARCUM LLP TO ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMIT IT TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED AN ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY. THE POLICY IS PROVIDED TO ALL LEADERS OF SVA AND MUST BE FILED ANNUALLY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MONITORS AND ENFORCES COMPLIANCE VIOLATIONS. INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AS THEY PERTAIN TO THE INTERESTS OF SVA. SVA EVALUATES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO ENSURE TERMS ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE, CONSISTENT WITH ARMS-LENGTH TRANSACTIONS, WITHOUT INFLUENCE BY BOARD MEMBERS, AND ENSURING THAT THERE IS NO PRIVATE INUREMENT. SVA EXECUTIVE LEADERS TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION HIGH QUALITY SERVICES AND COMPETITIVE PRICING, AS WELL AS THE EXPECTED QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED. SVA WILL CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AS NEEDED, TO REVIEW THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' DECISION MAKING PROCESS AND TO ASSESS THE RELATIONSHIP. SVA ENSURES FULL BOARD DISCLOSURE.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	HIRING AND SALARY DECISIONS ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED INDEPENDENTLY BY A DESIGNATED BOARD MEMBER, UNDER AUTHORITY DELEGATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SALARIES ARE BASED ON A COMPARISON OF LOCAL COSTS OF LIVING, AVERAGE RATES OF COMPENSATION, AND IN RELATION TO THE PRESIDENT AND CEO'S SALARY. PAY IS ADJUSTED FOR CHANGES IN LOCATION IF THEY OCCUR DURING EMPLOYMENT. THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE CONTRACTS OF OFFICERS. THE PROCESS OF SETTING EMPLOYEE SALARIES IS INCORPORATED INTO THE EMPLOYEE SEARCH PROCESS. THE PRESIDENT AND CEO SEARCH PROCESS WAS CONDUCTED BY A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. ALL OTHER EMPLOYEE SEARCH AND HIRING PROCESSES ARE CONDUCTED BY THE PRESIDENT AND CEO AND SENIOR STAFF LEADERSHIP. A DELEGATED BOARD MEMBER APPROVES ALL HIRING DECISIONS TO PROVIDE INDEPENDENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR.
