We believe that education is the road to peace. StandWithUs is dedicated to informing the public about Israel and to combating the extremism and anti-Semitism that often distorts the issues. We work by supporting people around the world who want to educate their own local campuses and communities about Israel. We believe that knowledge of the facts will correct common prejudices about the Arab-Israeli conflict, and will promote discussions and policies that can help promote peace in the Middle East. Through print materials, speakers, programs, conferences, missions to Israel, campaigns, and internet resources, we ensure that the story of Israel's achievements and ongoing challenges is told on campuses and in communities, the media, libraries, and churches around the world. Based in Los Angeles, StandWithUs has fifteen offices across the U.S., in Israel, and the UK. Please visit our websites for more information. false false 5543480 197 26200 ISRAEL OFFICE=============Misinformation about Israel has been promoted to young adults in countries around the world. In 2005 we realized that even American students traveling to Israel are either being misinformed or simply not receiving the kind of information that they can use to challenge misinformation when they return to the United States.Israel has become a place where students from all over the world come to study for a period of time. Many American students travel to Israel for extended periods. IEA initially began working in Israel by sending a few American employees to Israel with the mission of educating the participants in Israel. Once IEA began working in Israel, there was an immediate realization that the goal was huge and that we needed employees stationed in Israel. IEA opened an office in Israel and began working with two tracks: American or other students studying in Israel, and Israeli students on college campuses in Israel. We took our same mission to provide solid fact based information to Israeli through print brochures and internet materials, conferences and programs, including field trips to key sites in Israel. We have reached thousands of young adults annually through our full variety of programs and resources held in Israel, and this program continues to grow. 1746828 239218 CAMPUS SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES IN THE U.S.===================================================IEA, DBA StandWithUs (SWU) has become a household word around the country for people who want to educate their local communities about Israel, whether it is on their campuses or in their communities.SWU has been working on college campuses since its inception. This is because students across the country have felt that Israel is being misrepresented to their campus communities. They have been reporting hate speech and misinformation being pumped into the campus through speakers, extremist professors and propagandists who create ill will on campus for Israel and those who support it. Those who want to educate their peers need the tools to do so. StandWithUs provides education materials, speakers and programs that help inform young adults about Israel's strategic challenges and achievements so that a more balanced and informed picture can be presented. StandWithUs has become an important resource for any student who wants to correct the flow of misinformation on their own campus communities. The brochures of StandWithUs are presented both in hard copy and also as internet resources, and SWU has the largest collection of materials on the current hot topics available in hard copy.In addition to working on the campus, StandWithUs has found that the same anti-Israel propaganda being applied on campuses is also used in communities to achieve the same destructive goals. For example, the boycott movement against Israel continues to menace well-meaning communities around the country. Churches and coop markets, labor unions and billboards have become a common target for anti-Israel advertisement through anti-Israel propaganda. The same tools that StandWithUs is using on college campuses are also being used within communities across the country, and StandWithUs has become ever increasingly engaged with the war for hearts and minds of people of all ages, within churches, synagogues, libraries, markets, etc. Each year this program continues to grow. 7290308 true true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false true true false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 101 0 true 77 true false false true OC false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 36 36 true false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false AK AZ CA CO CT FL IL MA MD MI MO NJ NY OH OR PA RI SC WA WI X ROBERTA TURITZ CONTROLLER 3108366140 PO Box 341069 LA CA 90034 ESTHER RENZER Board President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN EMERSON Board Vice Pres 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARTY JANNOL Board Vice Pres 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE R LEDERMAN Board Vice Pres 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE POST Board Vice Pres 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NATY SAIDOFF Board Vice Pres 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BARRY WOLFE Board Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ADRIENNE P WIENIR Board Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ARTHUR BILGER Board Member 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAHLIA BILGER Board Member 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 HAIM DAYAN Board Member 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 HELEN DAYAN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RITA EMERSON Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MOTI GUR Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY J HOCHBERG Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN HOWARD DMD Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN JANNOL Board Member 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK KARLAN Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHMUEL KATZ MD Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DINA LEEDS Board Member 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRED LEEDS Board Member 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARAK LURIE Board Member 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADAM MILSTEIN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GILA MILSTEIN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RON PLOTKIN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID POLAK Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANET POLAK Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUSY RUBINSTEIN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEBBIE SAIDOFF Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANET SASSON Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FAITH SCHAMES Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RHONA WACHT Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD WALDOW Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SONYA WALDOW Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL WIENIR MD nonvoting board 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MIREILLE WOLFE Nonvoting Board 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROZ ROTHSTEIN CEO 40.00 0.00 X 308970 0 21216 JEREMY ROTHSTEIN COO 40.00 0.00 X 281885 0 16602 VICTOR F BEEDERMAN Frmr Controller 40.00 0.00 X 109518 0 2033 ROBERTA TURITZ Controller 32.00 0.00 X 7692 0 0 MICHAEL DICKSON Director -

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Every employee is required to sign an employee handbook when they are hired. On pages 49 and 50 of the handbook, the conflict of interest policy is described. The policy is monitored through supervisory meetings. We are aware of all activities that are work related and have open lines of communication. If there is any indication that there is an issue with any employee with regard to a potential conflict of interest, management meets with them personally and reiterates the company policy. We make a determination and discuss the potential possibility of conflict with the organization, and advise the employee to either cease or alter the activity or we would take action accordingly. To date, we have never had to terminate an employee because of this issue. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management The CEO and COO are periodically reviewed by the executive members of the Board of Directors, which temporarily becomes the compensation committee. The salaries in other comparable fields are studied (through other 990's) and checked to see if the compensation by the IEA is reasonable when compared to other similar organizations. A full compensation survey is created and studied by the compensation committee. Based on the capacity of the organization, job performance and comparison to other similar charities, the executive committee arrives at a suggested annual remuneration for the two top executives. The CEO and the COO are then advised of the decision reached by the compensation committee. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees The CEO and COO are responsible for doing a search and hiring employees within each category of work. Once a search is complete, if the employee's salary will exceed $100,000 dollars, the Board of Directors are part of the decision to hire (or not to hire) the candidate. There is always a study done of other 990's to make sure that the compensation is reasonable and comparable to other similar positions in other charitable organizations. IEA is always on the low side of the study for compensation until we can monitor the effectiveness of the new employee.
