      <Desc>EXHIBITS AND MUSEUM SERVICES:MUSEUM SERVICES AND VOLUNTEERS - In FY 2017, the Museum continued its strong attendance, once again hosting more than one million visitors. The Museum Services Department continued its support of the overall visitor experience in the box office and throughout the complex. Of note this past year was the Museum Services team's support of the Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience, a temporary exhibition on the pier that ran from July through October and attracted more than 100,000 visitors. [See Schedule O for continuation]Museum Services also was integral in developing and testing several wayfinding initiatives throughout the complex to make the visitor experience more enjoyable. In conjunction with these initiatives, new staff training enabled the Museum Services team to better engage and support visitors throughout their journey at the Museum. Another area of continued growth in FY 2017 was the expansion and enhancement of our Museum volunteer program. Research and reviews note that interaction with our volunteers is one of our visitors' favorite aspects of the Museum experience. Our active and growing team of volunteers, many of whom are veterans (from every branch of the military) and some of whom are Intrepid former crew members, offer the public a unique perspective on our exhibits and artifacts, with stories and anecdotes from their own service to our country. In FY 2017, 145 volunteers gave more than 17,200 hours of their time to the Museum. The year's volunteers included more former crew members than in previous years and, for the first time, a former submarine Growler sailor. In addition to working with the public, volunteers assisted in the Information Technology, Institutional Advancement, Membership and Exhibits Departments, and approximately 12 dedicated volunteers helped our aircraft restoration staff sand, paint, wash and dust the historical aircraft. Volunteers assisted with an increasing number of education programs, especially those in which veterans were needed, such as Intrepid After Hours, teacher professional development workshops, programs for children with autism and others. Work continued on the Museum's Oral History project with a dedicated team of volunteers transcribing the interviews of former crew members of Intrepid and Growler. To date, volunteers have assisted in transcribing more than 150 of the 6090-minute interviews, each of which takes approximately eight to twelve hours of work. Volunteer Department also continued to partner with AMAC (Association for Metroarea Autistic Children) to provide some of their students opportunities to gain work experience and develop social and speaking skills. In addition, the Volunteer Department worked with the Bronx International High School to provide volunteer opportunities for a small number of their students, many of whom have only been in the United States for 13 years, in order to improve their public speaking and English language skills as well as prepare them for college or a work environment. GROUPS -In FY 2017, the Intrepid Museum's Group Sales offerings included a variety of programs for many different groups. These programs were aligned with our mission and offered our visitors the opportunity to explore and learn in an informal setting. The Museum offered specialized children's birthday parties with themes of sea, air and space, consistent with our exhibitions, and hosted 135 birthday parties attended aboard Intrepid by more than 4,600 guests. The Museum's overnight program, Operation Slumber, successfully completed 25 events involving over 4,700 children and their parents and chaperones. The Museum hosted day camp groups during the summer months, welcoming more than 5,700 children and adults. It also held two Scout Days during the year, welcoming more than 1,100 youth and adults for special programming to help young scouts gain their merit badges. More than 100 youth orchestras, bands, choirs and dance groups comprising more than 7,000 participants from across the United States and Great Britain performed on board for free as a part of their group admission, giving them the opportunity to honor and inspire by sharing their performances with Museum visitors. The Museum also hosted commissioning ceremonies on board, which included complimentary admission for veterans and active members of the military and their families, to celebrate a military enlistment or promotion as well as retirement. In FY 2017 three commissioning ceremonies were held on Intrepid, attended by 132 visitors, and eight groups of veterans and active military guests came for Museum visits. Groups visiting the Museum included individuals who are blind or low vision and Deaf or hard of hearing, individuals with learning disabilities or physical disabilities, and families affected by autism. EXHIBITS -In FY 2017 the following exhibits and collections enhanced the visitor experience by providing expanded interpretation, shedding more light on the Museum's artifacts, and presenting opportunities for Museum tour guides and educators to engage with visitors. Don't Be a Dilbert! U.S. Navy Safety PostersSeptember 29, 2016 (open through September 4, 2018)Hangar Deck Gallery 1The U.S. Navy lost more than 8,000 people in aviation accidents from 1941 to 1946. Safety posters used cartoons and humor to stress the importance of following safety proceduresand the grave consequences of carelessness. The exhibition Don't Be a Dilbert! U.S. Navy Safety Posters features a dozen examples of World War II safety posters from the Intrepid Museum's collection. The posters, illustrated by noted cartoonist Robert Osborn, feature two blundering cartoon charactersDilbert the pilot and Spoiler the mechanicwhose slip-ups endangered lives and equipment. The exhibition also includes excerpts from a Navy training film in which Dilbert comes to life. In the film, his stubborn inability to follow safety procedures has devastating consequences.Ports of CallJanuary 13, 2017 Hangar Deck Gallery 1Intrepid's missions took the ship and crew to cities around the globeCannes and Copenhagen, Halifax and Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney. At each port of call, 3,000 crew members fanned out to explore local tourist attractions, historic sites, souvenir shops, restaurants and bars. These adventures left lasting impressions on Intrepid's crew members, most of whom had never traveled outside the United States. The temporary exhibition Ports of Call explores the significance of these journeys to the young sailors who formed Intrepid's crew.After each deployment, sailors regaled their families with stories of faraway places. Decades later, these same men and their families entrusted their souvenirs to the Intrepid Sea, Air &amp; Space Museum. The temporary exhibition Ports of Call invites visitors into a 1960s home, reminiscent of those where Intrepid crew members shared their stories and displayed their keepsakes. The exhibition includes souvenirs, memorabilia, photographs, film footage and oral histories, all drawn from the Museum's collections.Oral History ProjectOver the past fiscal year, the Museum recorded 31 oral histories. Included in this collection of oral histories are an interview with a Corsair pilot from VF-10 who served aboard Intrepid during World War II and an interview with a torpedo fire controlman who served aboard Growler during the Cold War. The Corsair pilot discussed the different levels of pilot training, as well as his introduction to and thoughts on the Corsair. He even provided detailed descriptions of some of the missions he flew, recounting one of the times he shot down an enemy aircraft and another time when he fired rockets at an enemy radar station on the ground. The pilot also discussed life aboard Intrepid, the men in his squadron, losing pilots and the time a kamikaze struck Intrepid's number three elevator. He even spoke about being in Japan after the war ended. The torpedo fire controlman described submarine training, as well as some of the more memorable events that occurred during sub school. He also explained the procedure for firing a torpedo and how a torpedo tube operated. There was even a humorous story about a time when the crew fired a practice torpedo, resulting in an unexpected outcome. The torpedo fire controlman discussed his thoughts on the Cold War, as well as life aboard a submarine, including the practical jokes that occurred and the memorable moments the crew experienced.Total Oral Histories collected in FY 2017:Intrepid, WWII 7Intrepid, Cold War 7Intrepid, Vietnam 3Growler 13NASA/T-38 1TOTAL 31</Desc>

        <Desc>EDUCATION:The Intrepid Museum's Education Department served more than 30,000 individuals through various types of formal programming in fiscal year 2017 and thousands more through formal professional development programs for educators and public education programs such as tours, talks and demonstrations. [See Schedule O for continuation]The Museum offers multidisciplinary, dynamic programs for schools and families, audiences with special needs, vulnerable groups, veterans and community groups as well as the general visiting public. Programs are delivered at the Museum, in the communities of New York City and nationally and internationally through distance learning. The Museum prioritizes securing funding that allows it to provide many education programs at no cost to students and families from high-need schools and communities. A large percentage of those served are special needs groups, including English Language Learners. School and Teacher Programs -Museum educators delivered programs to approximately 19,100 students in grades K12 at the Museum. Programs focused on culture, science and history and were aligned with the State Standards, the New York City Scope &amp; Sequence and the Next Generation Science Standards. These programs included exploration of the ship's restored historical spaces, inquiry-based discussions, primary source analysis and design challenges. Students viewed the Museum's historical aircraft collection, discussed aircraft design and use, and engaged in physics demonstrations and experiments to discover how flight is possible; participated in space science programs focusing on the space shuttle Enterprise, the history of the Space Race and space exploration in relation to Intrepid's own history; created robotic arms, experienced simulated microgravity, discovered how astronauts work in space and competed in their own race to the moon; discussed waterways, the need for water on a U.S. Navy ship and preservation challenges for a ship docked on the Hudson River, conducted experiments utilizing hydrometers to test salinity and discovered its relation to corrosion. This year, in conjunction with two exhibitions at the Museum, students explored the history of the U.S. Navy's involvement in the Vietnam War as exemplified through the Museum's collections and oral histories of Intrepid crew members. Students also learned about the history, science and ethical questions behind drone technologies. An additional 4,618 students participated in distance learning experiences from their schools. The Museum's education team also engaged 1,202 students with physical, cognitive or emotional challenges through tailored programs that involved movement, sound, storytelling, use of touch-collection objects, pictures, and close examination of artifacts, such as the T-34A Mentor airplane and HH-52A Sea Guardian helicopter. Many of these programs, particularly those for students with autism, included a pre-visit experience. A major project undertaken with schools this year was the second year of a two year projectthe STEM Educator's Academy. The Museum, in partnership with ExpandED Schools, partnered with four schools to provide professional development for teams of in-school and out-of-school-time educators in a collaborative atmosphere. The teachers' goal was to build coherence in students' STEM experiences as they move throughout the school day and into after-school settings. Museum educators led free and low-cost professional development programs for more than 300 teachers of grades pre-K12. Programs focused on history and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The format of these offerings ranged from full-day experiences to 36-hour courses approved by the New York City Department of Education (DOE) for professional development credit needed to maintain credentialing. These programs in turn benefited approximately 15,000 students in the classroom, a figure estimated using a model of 1 teacher to 50 students. Considering that many teachers have more than two classes of students during the day, the number could conceivably be much larger. In order to provide timely and relevant support to New York City teachers, Museum educators continued to participate in professional workshops and take part in NYC DOE training, partner meetings and events. They also attend professional networking groups such as HIVE Learning Networks, the New York City Museum Educators Roundtable and the STEM Education Network.Youth Leadership Initiative &amp; Career Pathway -Upper elementary, middle and high school students participated in the Museum's proprietary youth leadership programs, culminating in a first-time work experience for interested students. These programs include the Youth Leadership Institute @Intrepid (YLI), a yearlong program serving 30 students, and Greater Opportunities Advancing Leadership and Science for Girls (GOALS), consisting of an intensive, six-week summer science program for 50 girls as well as science and college readiness forums throughout the year serving hundreds of GOALS alumnae. Two separate strands of paid internships for alumni of GOALS and YLI feed into a junior educator position designed to give these young adults work experience as they move from high school into college. Access, Veteran and Military Family Programs -The Museum provided programs for 3,358 people with cognitive, sensory, physical or emotional needs. An additional 816 support staff, instructors or caregivers also participated in these programs. Programs were offered regularly during weekdays and weekends. Offerings included American Sign Language (ASL)led public tours for adults; ASL-interpreted school programs for students in grades K12; verbal description and touch tours for adults who are blind or have low vision; verbal description and touch tours for student groups; modified school programs for K12 students; programs for visitors with dementia and their caregivers; family programs for children with developmental or learning disabilities and their families; and Early Morning Openings for families affected by autism. The Museum's access programs are designed to hone social and communication skills, and they incorporate activities, tactile supports, touch collection objects, music and photographs. The access team also facilitated 32.5 direct service hours for 14 campers during the weeklong All Access Maker Camp, where children were challenged to tinker and create. Military Family Programs for returning veterans and their families served 120 participants, and 116 veterans participated in Intrepid After Hours events designed just for them. In addition, two part-time, paid positions were created and staffed in collaboration with Birch Family Services, building our team capacities and providing work experience for people with autism. Community &amp; Family Engagement Programs -More than 2,930 people participated in community programs led by Museum educators at libraries, community centers, hospital schools and community events. Programs engaged people of all ages and promoted family learning through demonstrations, experiments, discussions and guided artifact-based learning, with a focus on Intrepid's history, aviation, water and space science. The multi-visit math and design program created for high school students incarcerated on Rikers Island continued and was also offered at Department of Youth and Community Development sites across the city. In addition, the Museum continued to work with NYC DOE hospital schools and offered several seven to ten-part programs delivered to homebound senior citizens over the phone through a partnership with Dorot, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to alleviate social isolation and provide concrete services to older adults.The Museum continued to collaborate with the New York City Department of Homeless Services to arrange visits to the Museum for more than 1,000 children and adults. Museum educators organized four events at the Museum and provided programming at community locations. The on-site events included tours of the Museum, hands-on activities, demonstrations, performances and a meal. The Museum continued its partnership with the Administration for Children's Services, providing programming for 82 children, all of whom had been removed from their homes within the previous 48 hours because of abuse or neglect and had not yet been placed in a permanent facility. During this vulnerable time, the Museum provided a chance for fun, engagement and a sense of normalcy. No-fee tours and workshops were also delivered at the Museum to students in non-secure detention through the NYC DOE's District 79, which serves students with legal issues and little success in a traditional classroom.</Desc>

Summer Movie Series MayAugust 20-16Attendance: 1,615 - 4 ScreeningsSpanning several weeks each summer, the Summer Movie Series is a free evening event with film screenings on the Intrepid's flight deck. Seating up to 850 visitors, the venue serves as the perfect setting for movies with themes of sea, air and space. Each film was introduced by a guest speaker. Fan favorite Top Gun was introduced by David Baranek. David enjoyed a successful 20-year career in the Navy, starting with assignments to F-14 Tomcat squadrons and the elite Topgun training program, and going on to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U.S. Seventh Fleet. Later in the summer, Galaxy Quest was introduced by the film's director, Dean Parisot. Space &amp; Science Festival July 23-26, 2016Attendance: 21,448The Space &amp; Science Festival is a multiday, family-friendly event. Welcoming a wide range of partners, the event focuses on the future of science and space exploration. The festival offers guests a variety of interactive displays, activities, exhibitions and presentations, as well as a Family Astronomy Night and a free movie screening on the flight deck of Intrepid. This year's celebration focused on how new technology is transforming science fiction into science fact, and it coincided with the Museum's temporary exhibition Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience, an interactive exhibition that immersed visitors in the world of the beloved science fiction franchise.London-based rock duo Public Service Broadcasting performed two very special shows from its acclaimed album The Race for Space. The concerts took place in the Museum's Space Shuttle Pavilion, underneath the space shuttle Enterprise, the original NASA orbiter. Blueprint Specials January 6-11, 2017 (6 shows)Attendance: 1,965In the summer of 1944, engulfed by a war spread across three continents, the U.S. Army made a foray into some unlikely territory: producing Broadway-style musicals. The original revues were designed as "blueprints" for soldiers to easily put on in the field as a way to boost morale. The Army packaged and distributed them as a complete script, with score and orchestrations, scene and costume drawings, and instructions for how to put on the show. The performances of these "Blueprint Specials" on the Museum's hangar deck were the first staging of these musicals since 1945and the first ever for the American public.The critically acclaimed theater company Waterwell excavated and revived these virtually unknown shows as collaboration between civilian artists and veterans. This program series was hosted in partnership with the Under the Radar Festival at the Public Theater and Waterwell.Kids Week February 15-20, 2017Attendance: 19,181Held during the winter break of New York City public schools, Kids Week is a six-day event full of fun, family-friendly education programming. Visitors enjoy fun-filled activities, hands-on workshops, live shows, special guests and demonstrations for the whole family. This year Kids Week focused on the science and art of games. Youth explored STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) as they played cutting-edge digital games, designed their own games engaged with interactive displays and saw live demonstrations. Families learned about the logic and imagination that inspires game design, scientific investigation and discovery as they built, tinkered and played.Astronomy Night 7 sessions total: 4 Family Astronomy Nights and 3 Astro Cafe events Attendance: Family Astronomy Night - 2,346; Astro Cafe - 540 This program features engaging talks by experts in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, cosmochemistry and more. Astronomy Nights are hosted either on the hangar deck or in the Space Shuttle Pavilion, with stargazing on the flight deck in the late spring and summer. Each year, amateur astronomers are invited to set up their telescopes on the flight deck and share their enthusiasm for and knowledge of the stars with the hundreds (sometimes thousands) of visitors who attend each Astronomy Night. Select Astronomy Nights, called Astro Cafe, are open only to guests ages 21 and over, who are invited to enjoy a glass of beer or wine as they listen to talks. Family Astronomy Nights, which are open to people of all ages, feature fascinating talks by innovative scientists and researchers. Admission to Astronomy Night and Astro Cafe is free throughout the year.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Intrepid and certain exhibits were placed on loan to the Foundation by the United States Department of the Navy ("Navy") and British Airways, and the value thereof is not readily determinable. Accordingly, the Museum has followed the accounting policy of most museums with respect to collections and exhibits on loan and has not included those assets in the financial statements. Major repairs and improvements which preserve these collections and exhibits and/or increase the future economic usefulness of the assets are capitalized. The submarine, Growler, was similarly loaned by the Navy to the Foundation, and was opened to the public in May 1989. The Concorde G-BOAD was loaned to the Museum by British Airways on November 24, 2003 for an unspecified period of time. The loan agreement cannot be cancelled by the Museum before November 2013. On November 22, 2011, the Museum entered into a Contract for the Conditional Transfer of title to NASA Historic Artifact(s) with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to acquire the Space Shuttle Orbiter Enterprise. NASA transferred the title to the Museum subject to certain conditions and restrictions for a 20-year period. NASA physically delivered the Enterprise to the Museum at JFK Airport on April 27, 2012. The Enterprise exhibit was officially opened to the public on July 19, 2012.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Intrepid Sea, Air &amp; Space Museum collects a wide range of artifacts to document its rich history as a U.S. Naval vessel from 1943 to 1974. Many of these artifacts include the personal memorabilia of both former crew members and officers alike. Photographs, letters, manuscripts, certificates, medals, souvenirs, and other ephemera help us to interpret the lives of the men who worked and slept on the aircraft carrier. Furthermore, the "sailor art" designed and created by the servicemen on board allows us a unique glimpse into the personal side of life on the ship. Examples of such art include sketches on the backs of handkerchiefs, an ashtray constructed from a shell fired by the Intrepid, as well as detailed wall paintings scattered throughout the interior of the vessel. Our vast collection of uniforms, from flight suits to officers' dress "blues," provides us with an understanding of the different duties and jobs for which the servicemen would have been responsible. Similarly, our collections include an array of gear and equipment associated with the ship and the aircraft that flew from her. These objects include landing signal paddles and aircraft tie-downs, as well as flight helmets and plotting boards. Our collection of larger scale artifacts, such as aircraft, specifically relate to the Intrepid's years of service from World War II through the Cold War. Finally, rounding out the collections are accurate models of other aircraft and ships associated with the period of the Intrepid's Navy service, providing us with yet another means of visualizing past technologies.</ExplanationTxt>

        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Aircraft Restoration -</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>The Aircraft Restoration Department realized a much-anticipated upgrade with the opening of the Aircraft Restoration Hangar in December 2016. The new hangar facility is watertight and climate-controlled, allowing year-round work on the Museum's collection of 28 historical aircraft. The new hangar can accommodate two aircraft projects at one time and has allowed the Museum to begin an extended two-year restoration of the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a significant aircraft in the collection. Another aircraft, the Israeli Aircraft Industry Kfir C-2, has been completely repainted, treated for corrosion resistance and returned to active display. Aircraft Accession - No accessions in FY17. Collections - FY17 - 90 total acquisitions: 7 purchases, 83 donations - 2,394 total artifacts: 2,227 media items, 50 archival collections, 117 objects - 5 historical spaces (project is largely completed), with 1 collection removed - Oral History Project participants who donated artifacts this year: 14 - Repeat artifact donors: 15 Collections Highlights: Edgar Blankenship Scrapbook: Edgar Gerald Blankenship was an aviator with VF-18 on board Intrepid during World War II. His scrapbook ties together many of our other VF collections. It includes Edward Ritter cartoons, many of which we had not seen before. Blankenship was the inspiration for the main character "Snipo" in these cartoons. We previously thought all of Ritter's original sketches were destroyed in a kamikaze attack, so it is very special that two original pencil drawings are in this collection. Mr. Blankenship survived the war but died while transiting a Corsair across the United States. Mr. Blankenship's death in 1947 had a profound effect on his only child, Edward. Edward is very pleased that his father can be remembered at the Museum. Allen Odette Growler Collection: Allen Odette served on board Growler from August 1961 until December 1963 as a fire control technician, guided missile second class. His collection has many slides of Growler, of which we had few. Additionally, he donated a large collection of Growler newsletters that provide contemporaneous accounts of the news and daily routine on board Growler. One family gram shows, in contrast to Intrepid, the very limited amount of interaction Growler crew members had with loved ones back home while on patrol. Ben St. John Collection: Bernard "Ben" St. John (19212016) served on board Intrepid as a pilot in squadron VT-18 in 1944. Ben St. John's family has donated his entire collection. It contains many aviator uniform parts from World War II that we previously did not have. Mr. St. John's oral history was used in the 4D simulator movie. Christening bottle: According to the seller, the christening bottle was rescued from the garbage by a dockworker at Newport News Shipyard. Over the years it had been passed down and sold to different antique shops. We have a collection of photographs from the Museum's sponsor, Mrs. Hoover, who christened the ship, and it is wonderful to have the object that was with Intrepid right from the beginning. Pierce Matthews Letters: Pierce Yarrell "PY" Matthews Jr. served as a lieutenant commander in the W Division on board Intrepid in the early 1960s. These letters were an eBay purchase from someone who had bought them from an estate sale. Matthews was a career Navy officer who wrote at length about his thoughts about service, life philosophy and everyday life on board the ship. The letters include heavily annotated photographs of the people and places mentioned in his writings. If we had not found them on eBay, this wonderful peek into an officer's life on board Intrepid would have been lost.</ExplanationTxt>

        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Out-of-School Time Programs -</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>Out-of-school time and enrichment programs, such as Camp Intrepid, were offered in the summer and during school breaks throughout the year. Programs highlighted a range of topics through activities, tours, demonstrations and experiments. During Camp Intrepid, each week included opportunities for campers to visit the Museum's historical spaces, receive guided access to select airplanes, and explore the Museum's exhibitsincluding the space shuttle Enterprise and the submarine Growlerall while learning about Intrepid's ports of call, space science, marine science, ancient navies and aviation. Through the support of the NYC DOE initiative STEM Matters, the Museum provided two weeks of STEM Stars, a free, weeklong, full-day program held during the summer and spring break. The Museum also served as a site for Summer in the City program visits, another NYC DOE initiative. With support from the New York City Council and the Department of Cultural Affairs, the Museum continued partnerships with New York City schools through the Cultural After School Adventures (CASA) program. Since 2006, the Museum's Education Department has partnered with 35 schools throughout the five boroughs, and this past year educators worked with 11 schools for 4550 contact hours with each school's students. Programs focus on Intrepid and its historical spaces, the Museum's archives, collections and aircraft, and the space shuttle Enterprise, which serve as catalysts to pique student interest in social studies, math and science. Students analyze artifacts, read text, write in journals, experiment with scientific materials and explore the Museum's exhibitions. Students also complete a newsletter at the conclusion of the program. Newsletters highlight their experiences, what they learned and memorable moments. New this year was the launch of a Teen Night and a College Night, both with similar formats and geared toward youth and young adults. Organized by our teen advisory council, these nights featured Museum learning, music, snacks and a chance for participants to socialize in a safe atmosphere. Public Education - Museum educators provided regularly scheduled demonstrations throughout the Museum and in the Space Shuttle Pavilion for the general public. These inquiry-based demonstrations engaged the audience in making hypotheses and predictions, describing what they saw and observed, and assisting with the demonstration or experiment. Audience demographics varied. The majority of the participants were adults, seniors and multigenerational families with grandparents, parents and children. Museum educators presented the demonstrations to engage all audience members. This year, more than 7,000 visitors experienced demonstrations. Weekend family programs, called Intrepid Adventures, gave guidance for intergenerational learning while visiting the Museum, generally consisting of a short tour and a thematically linked activity. This year, 345 children and their caregivers participated in Intrepid Adventures. The public tours and talks team served 23,341 members of the public through in-depth tours. Topics covered the history of Intrepid, the Pacific War, the Vietnam War, and the past and future of space exploration. A family-friendly tour was also introduced on weekends and holidays. An additional 1,685 visitors organized special private tours, and 415 college students took a tour as part of their courses. More than 5,000 visitors experienced free-with-admission Tour Guide Talks this year. Evaluation - In order to ensure the quality of the Museum's programs and exhibitions, our internal research and evaluation team implemented a range of projects to collect front-end, formative and summative data to inform the development of programs and exhibitions and document their impact. These evaluation studies spanned a wide range of education programming and exhibition development. Front-end studies of visitor expectations, prior knowledge and content preferences for both temporary and permanent exhibitions, and visitor feedback on public programs and Museum-wide festivals allowed for informed decision-making. Examples of the work completed during this fiscal year included documenting the behaviors and engagement levels of more than 10,000 visitors in a range of interactive exhibits to inform change in content presentation and design features; conducting interviews with visitors about the Museum's Space &amp; Science Festival, Kids Week and Fleet Week activities; and 1,130 visitor interviews during visits to areas of the Museum, including City at Sea, On the Line, the Space Shuttle Pavilion and the submarine Growler. In addition, the team continued their program-outcome tracking method for school programs and collected 1,415 surveys from individuals who participated in one of the following: Museum public programs, teacher professional development programs, family access programs, student internships and community engagement programming. With an increase in language capacities of Museum team members, surveys and interviews were able to be given in five languages as needed, further capturing the feedback of the Museum's diverse audience.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Board of Trustees (the "Board") is the governance authority for the Intrepid Museum Founation (the "Museum") and its members have a fiduciary obligation to act in the best interest of the Museum without regard to their personal interests. The Board provides guidance and oversight for the development and implementation of the museum's policies and programs to see that museum activities are conducted and resources are utilized in support of the Museum's mission, in accordance with professional standards and practices. Trustees must exercise due diligence and good faith in carrying out their duties on behalf of the Museum, and should refrain from taking any action that might conflict, or appear to conflict, with the interests of the Museum. This Code of Conduct and Ethics (this "Code") is intended to provide guidance to trustees to help them with their responsibilities, recognize and deal with ethical and compliance issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical conduct, and help foster a culture of honesty and accountability. Each trustee must comply with the letter and spirit of this Code. This Code is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state or federal laws governing ethical conduct or conflicts of interest applicable to non-profit organizations. No code or policy can anticipate every situation that may arise. Accordingly, this Code is intended to serve as a source of guiding principles for trustees. Trustees are encouraged to bring questions about particular circumstances that may implicate one or more of the provisions of this Code to the attention of the Chairman of the Audit &amp; Compliance Committee, who may consult with legal counsel as appropriate. 1. Trustee Responsibilities. The responsibilities of the Board and trustees are set forth in the Intrepid Museum Foundation Board of Trustees Position Description, which is updated from time to time. The Board of Trustees is the governance authority for the Museum and has the authority and responsibility for overseeing that Museum resources, programs and activities support the Museum's mission. The Board is responsible for reviewing and monitoring the strategic direction of the Museum, providing guidance on and oversight of policies and operations and seeing that Museum resources are responsibly and prudently managed in compliance with legal and ethical requirements. Trustees are required by law to adhere to a duty of care and duty of loyalty in carrying out the responsibilities of the Board. A trustee's duty of care refers to the responsibility to exercise appropriate diligence in overseeing the management, business and affairs of the Museum, making decisions and taking other actions. In meeting the duty of care, trustees are expected to: a. Attend and participate in Board and committee meetings. Participation (whether in person or by remote communication) is required. Trustees may not vote or participate by proxy. b. Remain properly informed about the Foundation's business and affairs. Trustees should review and devote appropriate time to studying board materials. c. Rely on others. Absent knowledge that makes reliance unwarranted, trustees may rely on Board committees, management, employees, and professional advisors. d. Make inquiries. Trustees should make inquiries about potential problems that come to their attention and follow up until they are reasonably satisfied that management is addressing these problems appropriately. A trustee's duty of loyalty refers to the responsibility to act in the Museum's best interests consistent with its mission, not the interests of the trustee, a family member or an organization with which the trustee is affiliated. Trustees must also act in good faith. Trustees should not use their positions for personal gain. The duty of loyalty may be relevant in cases of conflict of interest and corporate opportunities. 2. Conflicts of Interest. Trustees should try to avoid taking any action that might conflict, or appear to conflict, with the interests of the Museum. However, the Museum is aware that, because trustees are actively involved in a variety of outside pursuits, conflicts of interest may arise from time to time. Any situation that involves, or may reasonably be expected to involve, a conflict of interest with the Museum should be disclosed to the Chairman of the Nominating /Governance Committee for review and will be managed in accordance with applicable guidelines, directives and standards of conduct. This policy on conflicts of interest should be read in conjunction with the Museum's Interested Person Transaction Policies and Procedures (the "Interested Transaction Policy"). Conflicts of Interest A conflict of interest, or a potential or perceived conflict, can occur when a trustee's personal interest is adverse to - or may appear to be adverse to - the interests of the Museum. Conflicts of interest also arise when a trustee, or a member of his or her immediate family, receives excess personal benefits as a result of his or her position as a trustee of the Museum. A trustee's immediate family includes the trustee's spouse or domestic partner, parents, brothers and sisters (whether whole- or half-blood), children (whether natural or adopted), grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and spouses of brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. This Code does not attempt to describe all possible conflicts of interest which could develop. Some of the more common conflicts, however, are set out below: a. Interested person transactions. Transactions between the Museum and trustees or entities with which trustees are affiliated should only be conducted pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions set forth in the Interested Transaction Policy. b. Relationship of Museum with third parties. Trustees may not engage in any conduct or activities that disrupt or impair the Museum's relationship with any person or entity with which the Museum has or proposes to enter into a business or contractual relationship. c. Compensation from non-Museum sources. Trustees may not accept compensation (in any form) for services performed for the Museum from any source (other than reimbursement of expenses relating to meetings of the Board, if any, provided by the Foundation). d. Gifts. Trustees and members of their immediate families may not accept gifts of more than a nominal value from persons or entities who deal with the Museum. e. Personal use of Museum assets. Trustees may not use Museum assets, labor or information for personal use unless approved by the Chairman of the Nominating /Governance Committee or as part of a program available to all trustees. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest On an annual basis, trustees must complete the attached "Annual Certification," which must describe any existing or potential conflicts of interest and proposed interested person transactions and affirms that such person: a. has received a copy of this Code and the Interested Transaction Policy; b. has read and understands this Code and the Interested Transaction Policy; and c. has agreed to comply with this Code and the Interested Transaction Policy. During the course of the year, in the event that a trustee becomes aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest, whether it involves the trustee or another member of the Board or members of a trustee's immediate family, the trustee must promptly notify the Chairman of the Nominating /Governance Committee. In addition, all committees of the Board shall inquire about potential conflicts of interest as it relates to any contracts or compensation that they approve as part of their oversight responsibilities. Trustees must disclose their interest and describe all material facts related to the potential conflict of interest to enable the Nominating /Governance Committee to review the actual, potential or perceived conflict.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Executive Committee and the Board, via the budget presentation and approval process, are responsible for approving the hiring compensation and annual evaluations for salary increases. The Committee studies market compensation and competitiveness, analyzing both economic climate, current budget restrictions if hire is within a budget cycle, competitive data at similar institutions in metropolitan locations beginning with NYC (comparing budget size, position responsibility, number of subordinates to be managed, etc), position within non-profit world and for profit world. They also use current survey data for comparative analysis from various applicable sources in the museum field, such as American Association of Museums, Museum Association of NY, as well as a salary survey from PNP (Professionals for Non-Profits) and comparative salary information from the New York Cultural Institutions Human Resources Group, and data available for the fields applicable to the position, e.g. accounting, operations, education. At most senior levels, President discusses requirements and proposed salary range with the Compensation Committee. For President, the Co-Chairmen of the Board would be involved in the decision-making process and discuss requirements and salary ranges with members of the Compensation and Executive Committees. To establish salary increases and bonuses, the President assesses performance of direct reports, and President's performance is assessed by Co-Chairmen. AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, ALL STAFF, INCLUDING SENIOR STAFF, UNDERGO PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE IS EVALUATED BASED ON GOALS SET FOR THE MUSEUM, EACH DEPARTMENT, MANAGEMENT OF RESPECTIVE TEAMS, AND SUCCESS OF OVERALL VENUE. (SUCCESS IS MEASURED THROUGH REVENUE, BRAND AWARENESS, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, GROWTH OF PROGRAMMING AND CONTENT, GROWTH IN ATTENDANCE, INTEGRITY AND UPKEEP OF SAFE INFRASTRUCTURE.) BASED ON THOSE ASSESSMENTS, THE PRESIDENT RECOMMENDS SALARY INCREASES AND BONUSES FOR EACH MEMBER OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT TO THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE BASED ON ACHIEVEMENTS AND BUDGET AVAILABILITY. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ENGAGES A COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO PERFORM MARKET STUDIES OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT POSITIONS. IT MEETS WITH THE CONSULTING FIRM AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE MUSEUM. IF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS, THE PRESIDENT ADDRESSES THEM AND MAKES REVISIONS. THE COMMITTEE THEN CONSIDERS THE PRESIDENT'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPROVES THEM OR DIRECTS THE PRESIDENT TO MODIFY HER RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON OTHER FACTORS. THE PRESIDENT ALSO PRESENTS HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO THE CO-CHAIRMEN OF BOARD FOR REVIEW. THE CO-CHAIRMEN CONSULT WITH THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO APPROVE SALARY INCREASES AND BONUSES FOR THE PRESIDENT. If bonus and salary increases are approved by the Compensation Committee, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee advises the President, and the proper documentation is prepared and submitted to finance and the bonuses are paid and the increases are implemented. This process was last undertaken during FY17.</ExplanationTxt>
