Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe completed Form 990 is reviewed by the Audit and Finance Committee, and subsequently by the Governing Board of the Museum prior to submission to the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cConflict of interest disclosures are completed yearly by trustees, officers, and key employees. Potential conflicts, whether initially disclosed or subsequently discovered, are reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee to determine if a conflict actually exists. The Nominating and Governance Committee provides a report of conflicts and Committee decisions to the Board yearly. Trustees, officers, or directors that may have a conflict are prohibited from participating at both the Committee and/or Board level in deliberations regarding any potential or actual conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees is responsible for evaluating the performance, compensation, and benefits of the President/CEO as well as those in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of the Museum, including the officers and senior administrative staff. The Compensation Committee solicits feedback annually from the Board of Trustees and senior staff regarding the President/CEO's performance. This feedback is reviewed and discussed by the Compensation Committee in conjunction with comparable salary data. After deliberation, the Committee's recommendations are presented to the Board of Trustees Chair who informs the President/CEO of compensation and benefits for the upcoming year. The Chair reports final salary decisions to the entire Board of Trustees at the next available board meeting. The President/CEO conducts, annually, a performance review of each member of the Senior Leadership Team. Using comparable salary data and compensation adjustment guidelines reviewed by the Board of Trustees, the President/CEO determines the compensation and benefits for each member of the Senior Leadership Team. The President/CEO then presents this information to the Compensation Committee for their review and approval. Minutes are kept for each meeting of the Compensation Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Governing documents are publicly filed with the Secretary of State and are available on DMNS's website. The conflict of interest policy is also made available on the website. Financial Statements are published in DMNS's annual report and are available on the DMNS website.
