We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people's health, to preserve magnificent places and wildlife, to advance clean energy, and to combat climate change. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer. We are heading into a challenging and unpredictable time. However, we live in a country of strong environmental laws -- and Earthjustice holds those who break these laws accountable for their actions. As the nation's original and largest nonprofit environmental law organization, we leverage our expertise and commitment to fight for justice and create lasting change. We bring cases that will have the biggest impact, setting precedents for generations to come. Our many successes across the decades are thanks to strong partnerships with hundreds of organizations and hundreds of thousands of passionate supporters. Of course, winning a case is only part of the battle. Our litigation is strengthened by policy and communications teams working with decision-makers in Washington, D.C., and within the court of public opinion to sustain our legal victories. Earthjustice pursues three key goals to secure a just and flourishing world: - Fighting for Healthy Communities - Preserving the Wild - Advancing Clean Energy and a Healthy Climate To that end, below are a just a few highlights of our legal victories and other progress in service of our mission during fiscal year 2016: Grand Canyon: A sprawling residential and commercial development proposed just five miles from the Grand Canyon's South Rim was stopped in its tracks when, faced with strong opposition from Earthjustice, conservation groups and the public, the US Forest Service refused to consider a permit the project needed to proceed. The development threatened to destroy the area's natural ecosystem and lower the aquifer that feeds the park's South Rim and Havasu Falls. Mexican gray wolf settlement: In a hopeful development for Mexican gray wolves, the "lobo" of the American Southwest, we reached a court settlement requiring the federal government to prepare a legally required blueprint for rebuilding the population of these highly endangered wolves after nearly 30 years of delay. Columbia/Snake salmon win: In May, we won a groundbreaking 20-year fight to protect and restore salmon in the Columbia and Snake rivers when a federal judge invalidated the government's inadequate salmon plan for the Columbia Basin. The judge's order requires the government to give serious consideration to removing dams on the lower Snake River that are devastating salmon. EPA reaffirms MATS: The first-ever national limits on mercury and other toxic air pollution from coal plants went into effect in 2015 and are already saving lives. Earthjustice battled for these protections for over 15 years, side by side with a large coalition of clients and partners. In April 2016, the EPA reaffirmed the limits in response to a ruling by the US Supreme Court. Clean energy wins in the Southwest: Across the country, Earthjustice is fighting utility attempts to undermine solar and other clean, renewable energy sources that threaten their bottom line. We defeated proposals to impose charges on solar customers and otherwise block the rise of rooftop solar with big wins in Colorado (August 2015) and New Mexico (November 2015).

The previous comprehensive review and revision occurred in 2012. The most significant changes adopted in November were as follows: 1) Updated the Bylaws' statement of purpose to incorporate the current mission statement. 2) Permitted Trustees to take a leave of absence from the Board for personal reasons. 3) Eliminated two corporate officers: the Vice-Chair for Finance and the Vice-Chair for Development. 4) Revised the terms and length of terms for corporate officers to be consistent with the practice of electing all officers at each annual meeting, to serve until the next annual meeting. 5) Revised the role of the Board Chair when the office of the President is vacant to accommodate the process for naming interim staff leadership. 6) Reduced the number of at-large members of the Executive Committee from five to three. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 A full copy of Form 990 is posted on a secure web portal accessible by the trustees at least one week prior to filing. The trustees are notified of the Form 990 posting and encouraged to review and comment on it prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The conflict of interest policy requires an annual disclosure by trustees and senior staff of entities in which they have personal, financial or professional interests. The results of thoses disclosures are compiled into a screening list of entities used by the Board Chair, Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel when reviewing potential transactions with Earthjustice and outside entities. The screening list is used to check to assure that individual decision-makers recuse themselves from any participation in decisions affecting the entities in which they have interests. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 We get competitive data from an outside compensation consultant for our CEO. In addition, our VP-HR collects salaries of CEOs from other non-profit environmental organizations to obtain additional data for the key national non-profit environmental organizations. This information is passed along to the executive committee of our board of directors who reviews the data and makes the appropriate recommendation for our CEO salary. We do a bi-annual review of all positions in the organization including the CEO and all staff. We update all position descriptions and use an outside compensation consultant to determine salaries that match the job responsibilities in the non-profit sector in the specific geographic areas in which our jobs are located. Our VP-HR then works with managers, based on performance to determine what the appropriate salary should be within this range. Since this proess is quite time intensive, we do this every other year. In the year we don't go through this process, we get competitive data about what the average raise will be and use this as a guideline for our budgeting process. Our attorneys' pay is based on the year of graduation from law school, to which we add a geographic adjustment based on the office location, e.g. Bozeman, Montana vs. New York, NY. We contact other conservation organizations like the Sierra Club and also government entities like the Department of Justice to determine the appropriate pay for our attorneys. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The audited financial statements are available on the organization's website. In addition, the audited financial statements, the governing/organizing documents, and the conflict of interest policy are made available to the public by email request: eajus@earthjustice.org.
