SCHEDULE JThe compensation listed on Form 990 Part VII Section A for Dallas Gardner is paid to this board member in his capacity as an independent consultant, not for his service as a board member of the organization. "Bonus and Incentive Compensation" includes (a) bonuses and (b) as applicable, commissions based on sales, all of which, when combined with base and other compensation, create a reasonable total compensation package. Bonus amounts are determined by management and approved by the compensation committee and/or the Board of Directors. Commission amounts are determined by the sales plan for each applicable year. It is important for NHRA to be able to recruit and retain highly qualified employees whose experience and performance enable NHRA to provide the complex and varied services necessary to support the association's operations and meet the varying needs of the drag racing community. The operations of NHRA are extensive and involve many facets, such as complex rulemaking, logistics, and event management, including the coordination of multiple events in multiple locations, setting policies for thousands of racers, promoting the sport to millions of fans, overseeing essential safety standards, publications, social media, television and media relations, extensive travel, coordinating a large workforce, track and facility management, risk management, and related issues. Accordingly, the organization has recruited its leaders primarily from those with experience in major for-profit organizations such as Mars, Delphi, GM, Hewlett Packard, and Pace/ClearChannel. NHRA believes that experience, continuity, and industry relationships are critical in its organization, and thus NHRA structures executive compensation to encourage long-term commitments from and retention of executives. While NHRA does not expect to pay compensation that is fully competitive with for-profit organizations, the board has recognized that, to attract and retain the needed quality of leadership, its management compensation must be competitive with similarly complex nonprofit organizations. In setting compensation, NHRA has used an outside expert in analyzing compensation issues to help guide and validate the compensation process, as well as a committee of independent members of the Board of Directors. The compensation of NHRA's top executives is reviewed annually by the Board. The Chief Executive's compensation is determined by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. For top executives including the CEO, cash compensation is comprised of base salary and a bonus component, the amount of which is based on complementing the base salary to create a competitive and appropriate annual compensation package. Compensation is analyzed in conjunction with many factors including comparable compensation in the job market, individual performance, and the organization's overall performance.
