Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the full version of the Form 990 as prepared by an outside accounting firm. After review and any changes by the Audit Committee, copies of the draft public disclosure version of the Form 990 are sent by priority mail to all members of the Board of Directors for their review and comment before it is filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cMembers of the board of directors of the Santa Fe Opera are asked each year to sign conflict of interest disclosure statements and to submit these signed statements to the Secretary of the Board of Directors. By signing the annual disclosure statements, each director undertakes to notify the President of the Opera of any material changes that might result in a conflict of interest. The President reviews the signed disclosure statements for conflicts and, with the assistance of committee chairs, monitors compliance with the policy at meetings of the board and committees considering transactions or arrangements that might give rise to a conflict of interest. The signed conflict of interest disclosure statements are maintained at the offices of the Santa Fe Opera. Compliance with this policy is monitored by the Audit Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The compensation committee of the Board of Directors, composed of the President, Chairman, Treasurer, and two additional board members appointed by the President, all of whom are unrelated to the General Director, reviews and approves compensation and other terms of employment for the General Director. In considering appropriate compensation for this position, the Compensation Committee reviews salary data for comparable positions at similar opera companies. The Compensation Committee also conducts annual reviews of the performance of the General Director. Minutes of the Compensation Committee's meetings are recorded and maintained at the offices of the Santa Fe opera. Compensation for the Director of Accounting and Finance is determined by the General Director. The General Director takes job performance and salary data for comparable positions at other opera companies into account when setting the annual salary for the Director of Accounting and Finance.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Governing documents, conflict of interest policies, and financial statements are maintained in the offices of the Santa Fe Opera. They are made available to members of the public who make written requests for the information.
