(CEO) is a national organization dedicated to providing immediate, effective, and comprehensive employment services to individuals returning home after incarceration. CEOs theory of change posits that if the employment needs of people with criminal convictions are met when they are first released from incarceration, they are less likely to recidivate and better able to build a foundation for a stable, productive life. CEO delivers evidence-based programming that is substantially similar in each of its offices across eight states. CEOs program provides each participant one week of in-class life skills and job readiness instruction, followed by paid work on work crews supervised by CEO permanent staff (Transitional Work). Concurrent with transitional work, CEO provides job coaching and job placement services to help individuals find full time employment. They then receive job retention support to help them advance within the labor market. Thr false false 18417327 0 0 TRANSITIONAL WORK PROGRAM IMMEDIATE WORK FOR SAME DAY PAY: As described above, after one week of classroom training, CEO program participants work on Transitional Work crews. Each Transitional Work crew is comprised of approximately 5-8 participants who work for, and are paid by, CEO. Each Transitional Work crew is run and supervised by a site supervisor, a permanent CEO employee. In FY2018, CEO provided transitional employment to 5,357 formerly incarcerated persons through its 21 offices. CEOs Transitional Work crews are typically funded by the entity receiving the crew services. CEO has established contractual relationships with a variety of government agencies (such as public works, housing authorities, public universities, and transportation departments) and certain private employers for services including groundskeeping, maintenance, highway cleanup, and event setup and breakdown, among many others. The Transitional Work setting benefits participants in several ways. First, all participants can begin working immediately after completing classroom training. CEO pays each member of a work crew on a daily basis, and this daily income can pay for food and other necessities. The daily pay schedule eliminates the income timing gap inherent in bi-weekly or monthly pay cycles. Second, the close supervision provided by one trained permanent supervisor to a small number of program participants enables supervisors to closely guide and coach each work crew member. The Transitional Work model also facilitates participants in supporting one another and gaining motivation from each other's successes. 15535874 0 0 VOCATIONAL TRAINING: Concurrent with Transitional Work, CEO provides vocational training and support services. During the period that participants are working on Transitional Work crews, they typically meet with a job coach one day per week. Job coaches reinforce the lessons learned during classroom training, coach participants on job performance and behaviors, and assist participants with any issues that may arise during their Transitional Work experience. After a participant shows consistent, high-performing workplace behaviors, job coaches assess the participant as "job start readyassign them to a business account manager (BAM). BAMs work directly with employers to identify labor market needs and potential job opportunities. BAMs then match eligible participants with employers. Since becoming an independent nonprofit organization in 1996, CEO has made more than 30,000 full-time job placements for formerly incarcerated individuals. In FY2018, CEOs employment services resulted in 2,919 full-time job placements in a variety of industries and sectors such as food service, retail, wholesale, manufacturing, human services, construction, maintenance, and warehousing. After participants begin working in permanent jobs, they meet regularly with a CEO Retention Specialist. Retention Specialists work with each participant to help that individual remain connected to the workforce. Retention Specialists offer workplace counseling, crisis management, new job development in the event of a job loss, and long-term career planning for one year after placement. An incentive-based job retention program also rewards participants the longer they remain employed during that first year. 33953201 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 59 0 true 5232 true false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA CO MI NY OH OK PA TN X X PANAGIOTA MAHENDRU 2124224430 50 BROADWAY 16TH FLOOR New York NY 10004 X David I Moskovitz Chairman 0.15 0.0 X X 0 0 0 O Peter Sherwood Secretary (thru 6/28/2018) 0.15 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Van Der Vord Treasurer 0.15 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Emary Aronson Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Balfour Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Cristine Soto Deberry Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Bruce Evans Trustee (As of 1/30/2018) 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Katie Beirne Fallon Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Danielle C Gray Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ellen V Holloman Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Adam Luck Trustee (As of 9/28/2017) 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Jo Mannes Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 William Snipes Trustee 0.15 0.0 X 0 0 0 Samuel Schaeffer CEO Executive Director 60.0 0.0 X 245991 0 20868 Samra Haider Executive Director, National 60.0 0.0 X 184398 0 6039 Panagiota Mahendru Chief Financial Officer 60.0 0.0 X 194165 0 18331 bradley l dudding Chief impact Officer 60.0 0.0 X 158019 0 20246 Christopher Watler Executive Director of CEO NY 60.0 0.0 X 174641 0 16754 William Heaton DIR OF POLICY & PUBLIC AFFAIRS 60.0 0.0 X 159303 0 20374 William Heiser DIR.

THIS GUIDANCE PROVIDES THAT THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN ONLY BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THE POSITION IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN NOT" TO BE SUSTAINDED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. CEO is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the code. CEO has processes in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated business income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. CEO has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. In addition, CEO has not recorded a provision for income taxes as it has no material tax liability from unrelated business income activities.
