FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE ASSOCIATION'S BOARD FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW THE 990 DURING ONE OF ITS MONTHLY CONFERENCE CALLS. FOLLOWING THE REVIEW, THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE VOTES TO ACCEPT THE 990 AND RECOMMENDS THAT IT BE PRESENTED TO AND ACCEPTED BY THE FULL BOARD.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C AUCD HAS ADOPTED A SPECIFIC CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT ALL STAFF ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AND SIGN UPON EMPLOYMENT AT AUCD, AS WELL AS EACH YEAR OF EMPLOYMENT THEREAFTER. THIS POLICY IS SIMILAR TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, WHICH BOARD MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN UPON JOINING THE BOARD AND ANNUALLY FOR EACH YEAR OF THEIR TERM ON THE BOARD. THE AUCD CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY REQUIRES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT ALL AUCD EMPLOYEES ANNUALLY, AS A PART OF THEIR ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW (AND AT THE TIME OF THE BEGINNING OF EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL NEW AUCD EMPLOYEES), COMPLETE AND RETURN TO AUCD THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. INCLUDED IN THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT IS A LISTING OF ALL OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT BY AUCD EMPLOYEES. NO EMPLOYEE MAY HOLD AN OUTSIDE POSITION WHICH IS IN CONFLICT WITH HIS/HER AUCD EMPLOYMENT OR WHICH UTILIZES AUCD RESOURCES UNLESS AUTHORIZED IN WRITING BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THE BOARD CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY STATES THAT, IN THEIR CAPACITY AS DIRECTORS, THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AUCD MUST ACT AT ALL TIMES IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF AUCD. THE PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY IS TO HELP INFORM THE BOARD ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, ASSIST THE BOARD IN IDENTIFYING AND DISCLOSING ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS, AND HELP ENSURE THE AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHERE NECESSARY. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 THE BOARD, WITH INPUT FROM THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE, DETERMINES THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S SALARY, BENEFITS, AND ANNUAL INCREASES. AUCD USES OBJECTIVE AND COMPARABILITY DATA TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION. THE BOARD PREPARES A MEMO SUMMARIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS WHICH IS FILED IN HIS/HER PERSONNEL FILE. COMPENSATION IS BASED ON THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE POSITION IN ADDITION TO THE EDUCATIONAL LEVEL AND TYPE AND LENGTH OF EXPERIENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL. ALSO, AUCD USES COMPENSATION DATA FROM OTHER COMPARABLE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO DETERMINE SALARY AND BENEFITS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT MANY OF AUCD'S POSITIONS ARE GRANT FUNDED. THEREFORE, COMPENSATION IS, IN PART, ALSO DEPENDENT ON THE APPROVED SALARY LEVEL IN GRANT BUDGETS. AUCD EMPLOYEES TYPICALLY RECEIVE A COST-OF-LIVING (COL) ADJUSTMENT EACH YEAR. IN ADDITION TO THE COL ADJUSTMENT, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CAN RECOMMEND A PERFORMANCE-BASED INCREASE FOR STAFF THAT HAVE DONE EXEMPLARY WORK. PERFORMANCE-BASED INCREASES ARE BASED UPON AVAILABLE FUNDS AND STAFF ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. THE COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT AND PERFORMANCE INCREASES ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE LAST COMPENSATION REVIEW OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TOOK PLACE IN DECEMBER 2016. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 AUCD'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INCLUDING ANNUAL AUDITS) ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
