LITTLE BIRD MARKETING CO FORMER DIRECTOR 24592 MARKETING CONSULITNG false Client Note 1 Client Note 1 - CHANGES TO 2016 AMOUNTS=======================The 2015 Federal and California tax returns were completed before the organizations 2015 audit was completed. During the audit process, the auditor determined there were additional donor pledges that should be recorded in 2015, which increased total and net revenue amounts. In addition, the organization had entered into a liability by agreeing to training service over number of years. The remaining monthly payments at the end of 2015 and 2016 were aggregated and reported as a liability. Therefore, the 2015 amounts reported in Part I and Part II of the 2016 Form 990 and corresponding schedules in the 2016 California Form 199 are not the same as those reported on the original 2015 forms. Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et JOHN BUENO IS THE FATHER OF RON BUENO, the executive director of the organization. Form 990, Part VI, Line 4: Description of Significant Changes to Organizational Documents One of the primary goals of ENLACEs 2020 Strategic Plan was to strengthen the governance structure of the organization by transitioning from a traditional to a Policy Governance board structure. The goal of the transition was to increase the Boards capacity to provide greater outreach, stewardship, oversight of operational structure and operations, and promotion as the organization grows. Starting in 2016, we have educated the board in the process and have approved 80% of the global policies. We have completed all the policies that define the role of the Executive Director and his/her relationship with the Board. We are in the process of defining the roles of the Board members and finishing the reporting mechanisms. We aim to complete the transition by November 30, 2017.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management SEE LINE 15b RESPONSE Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees ENLACE USA adopted an Executive Compensation Policy (the "Policy") in 2008. The Policy requires the board of directors (the "Board") to make every effort to comply with the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" under Internal Revenue Code 4958 and its supporting Treasury Regulations 53.4958-6. The Policy also directs the Board to adopt procedures for reviewing and approving new or materially modified compensation arrangements between ENLACE USA and its executives and senior managers that, among other things, include the following:a.Reviewing the compensation arrangement or the terms of the transaction. The body deciding on the compensation arrangement must be composed entirely of persons who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement or transaction under review. b.In making its determination of reasonableness, the Board should obtain and rely upon appropriate data as to comparability from internal or external sources to help it make its determination. c.The Board will ultimately decide (on the basis of the Compensation Committee's recommendation, if any) whether to approve the compensation arrangement or not. Only Board members who have no conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement may participate in the decision-making process. The person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement and any director who has a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement may answer questions regarding the compensation arrangement but otherwise must recuse themselves from the meeting during deliberation on the compensation arrangement. Additionally, if the Board or the Compensation Committee obtained a compensation study or opinion letter, the Board should be provided an opportunity to ask questions of person who prepared the study or opinion letter. d.The Board should document the basis for its decision the later of the Board's next meeting or 60 days after the Board's decision. And within a reasonable time after the decision is documented, the Board should review and approve the documentation as reasonable, accurate, and complete. The documentation should include, at minimum:(i)The terms of the approved compensation arrangement and the date the Board approved it; (ii)The persons who were present during the deliberation and vote on the compensation arrangement and the names of the persons who voted for it or against it;(iii)The comparability data obtained and relied upon and how the data was obtained; and(iv)The actions any director who has a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement took during the Board's decision-making process.e. The Executive Director's compensation is due to be reviewed at the Board of Director's 2016 Annual meeting. The review will involve examination and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.
