ERIC did not engage in grassroots lobbying. 867209 832787 34422 34422 Form 990, Part VI, Line 4: Description of Significant Changes to Organizational Documents The Organizations bylaws were amended to eliminate the cap on the size of the Board of Directors by giving all members the right to appoint a representative to the Board. As a result, some decision-making authority was reallocated from the membership to the Board of Directors and other changes were made to align the bylaws with this new structure. In addition, the bylaws were amended to create a Finance Committee. Finally, Organizations Membership Agreement was revised to provide a mechanism for members to voluntarily request and Organization to provide voter participation reports. Form 990, Part VI, Line 7b: Describe Decisions of Governing Body Approval by Members or Shareholders All members of the Organization have a right but not the obligation to appoint a representative to the Board of Directors. This means a member may choose not to put a representative on the Board, and, as such, the size of the Board may or may not equal the size of the membership. Accordingly, the organization has a two-tiered governance model, meaning that some decisions are allocated to members and others to the Board of Directors. For example, the members and not the Board have the power to amend the bylaws. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The 2018 Form 990 was reviewed by the Executive Director, Board of Directors, legal counsel and an outside accountant. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Annually, Directors are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure form.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees To determine the Executive Directors compensation, the Executive Committee of the Board conducts a performance review of the Executive Director and, in consultation with the Finance Committee, reviews comparability data and information from similar organizations from IRS Form 990s and a non-profit compensation report. This decision is documented contemporaneously in writing. The full Board is apprised of the Executive Committees review and determination and votes on the Organizations annual budget, including the Executive Directors compensation. The Executive Director, who is an ex officio, non-voting member of the Executive Committee and the Board recuses himself from all discussions relating to his compensation. The organization does not have any other compensated officers or key employees.
