ASSIST OUR MEMBERS IN BECOMING SMARTER, MORE VISIBILE, AND BETTER CONNECTED. false false The Chamber accomplishes its mission through three tenets of assisting its member businesses in becoming "smarter, more visible, and better connected." To this end, member programs and events are designed to address one or more of these organizational principles. The goal of these efforts is to grow our member businesses and, in so doing, provide jobs for local citizens and improve the Greater Kansas City region overall. The Chamber's Government Relations Department provides opportunities for members businesses to be "better connected" and "more visible" with regional elected officials at all levels of government. This is accomplished through various committees that develop agendas designed to convey to elected officials the legislative needs of regional businesses. In addition, events are planned to allow members to interact directly with elected officials. Examples include The Chamber's annual Governors' Summit, the Washington, DC Fly-In, Spotlight KC, and the Leadership Exchange. In addition, elected officials regularly connect with Chamber members through meetings of The Chamber's Missouri and Kansas State Affairs, Federal Affairs, Kansas City Missouri, and Johnson County committees and leadership councils. Government Relations also manages the Centurions Leadership Program in which member businesses nominate mid-level managers annually for a 2-year program of research and community projects. The program is designed to enhance each Centurion participant by expanding his or her understanding of community issues, and of government entities and local business relationships. The Programming and Membership Departments provide programs and events for members to become "more visible" and "better connected" through the annual five-month Small Business Celebration, which recognizes the impact of small businesses on the economic fabric and work force development throughout the region. With programs, such as The Chamber's Economic Forecast, Networking events, Manufacturing Summit, and Innovation Conference, members "get smarter" through these series of seminars and classes on best practices and current economic and business conditions regionally, while exploring business opportunities internationally. To ensure member businesses and their employees have chances to be "better connected," sharing ideas and generating new business, The Chamber's, Programming Department offers programs like Face2Face, genKC, Business Live KC Expo, Morning Schmooze, and Chamber Champions. The Communications and Media Relations Department provides the membership, each year at the Annual Chamber Dinner meeting, the opportunity to be "more visible, better connected, and smarter," by attending this premier business dinner with business leaders and elected officials. Members are updated on The Chamber's accomplishments of the previous year and the organization's plans for the upcoming year. The past and incoming chairs share their remarks and pass control of The Chamber from one to the other. In addition, Communications helps members "get smarter, more visible, and better connected" through various member publications, marketing materials, and member updates. false false false true false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false true false false false true 66 0 true 55 true true true false false false false false X 64 64 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MO X X RICK PERRY 8162212424 30 W PERSHING RD SUITE 301 KANSAS CITY MO 64108 JIM HEETER 40.0 X X 482919 0 62922 E FRANK ELLIS 10.0 X X 0 0 0 GREG M GRAVES PE 1.0 X 0 0 0 W RUSSELL WELSH 10.0 X X 0 0 0 IRIVIN V BELZER 10.0 X X 0 0 0 ROSHANN S PARRIS 10.0 X X 0 0 0 RALPH REID 10.0 X X 0 0 0 TERRY BASSHAM 1.0 X 0 0 0 ROBERT J BERKEBILE FAIA 1.0 X 0 0 0 JANE CHU 1.0 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW J CONDON 1.0 X 0 0 0 ROBERT COWAN 1.0 X 0 0 0 DAN CRANSHAW 1.0 X 0 0 0 KAREN DANIEL 1.0 X 0 0 0 MARK D DONOVAN 1.0 X 0 0 0 MELINDA L ESTES MD 1.0 X 0 0 0 NICHOLAS FRANANO MD 1.0 X 0 0 0 DAVID W FRANTZE 1.0 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER GENTILE 1.0 X 0 0 0 DAVID GENTILE 1.0 X 0 0 0 KENNETH V HAGER 1.0 X 0 0 0 JOYCE HAYHOW 1.0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL F HELMSTETTER PHD 1.0 X 0 0 0 MARK JAMES 1.0 X 0 0 0 DAVID J JANUS 1.0 X 0 0 0 RICK L KAHLE 1.0 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN M KEMPER 1.0 X 0 0 0 DENISE L KRUSE 1.0 X 0 0 0 BRETT LEWIS 1.0 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM P LUCAS 1.0 X 0 0 0 LORI MALLORY 1.0 X 0 0 0 AMY MCANARNEY 1.0 X 0 0 0 PATRICK J MCCOWN 1.0 X 0 0 0 CLYDE MCQUEEN 1.0 X 0 0 0 ERIC M MORGENSTERN 1.0 X 0 0 0 LEO E MORTON 1.0 X 0 0 0 JOHN F MURPHY 1.0 X 0 0 0 RANDALL L O'DONNELL PHD 1.0 X 0 0 0 DANNY O'NEILL 1.0 X 0 0 0 BOB PAGE 1.0 X 0 0 0 MI-AI PARRISH 1.0 X 0 0 0 JEANETTE HERNANDEZ PRENGER 1.0 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY L PROVOST 1.0 X 0 0 0 ORA H REYNOLDS 1.0 X 0 0 0 TROY M SCHULTE 1.0 X 0 0 0 BRENT A STEWART SR 1.0 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN WATLEY 1.0 X 0 0 0 BRIDGETTE WILLIAMS 1.0 X 0 0 0 JULIE WILSON 1.0 X 0 0 0 TERRY DUNN 10.0 X X 0 0 0 JOHN BLUFORD 1.0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL COPELAND 1.0 X 0 0 0 STEVE DOYAL 1.0 X 0 0 0 ED EILERT 1.0 X 0 0 0 WARREN ERDMAN 1.0 X 0 0 0 BRETT GORDON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DON HALL 1.0 X 0 0 0 SLY JAMES 1.0 X 0 0 0 MEL LAGARDE 1.0 X 0 0 0 JOHN MCDONALD 1.0 X 0 0 0 TOM METZGER 1.0 X 0 0 0 JOE REARDON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DON REIMAL 1.0 X 0 0 0 RON SHAFFER 1.0 X 0 0 0 MAURICE WATSON 1.0 X 0 0 0 KRISTINA SMITH WYATT 40.0 X 169240 0 11300 RICK PERRY 40.0 X 143489 0 10376 MELEA M MCRAE 40.0 X 127128 0 7575 922776 0 92173 4 false true false CBIZ MHM LLC 11440 TOMAHAWK CREEK PARKWAY LEAWOOD KS 66211 ACCOUNTING SERVICES TAKE 2 PRODUCTIONS LLC 1906 WYANDOTTE ST KANSAS CITY MO 64108 ADVERTISING 0 0 PROGRAM AND EVENTS INCOME 2509153 2509153 MEMBERSHIP DUES 2769842 2769842 5278995 -99600 -153854 54254 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES 3875 3875 CHAMBER SPONSORSHIP 454164 454164 458039 5637434 5737034 -153854 54254 0 0 0 0 922776 0 1562535 55742 176590 161298 0 9160 15782 0 0 0 0 0 136416 18834 0 450282 32016 0 1757 30878 0 185504 0 SPECIAL PROJECTS 874388 MEMBER DEVELOPMENT 433740 MEMBER SERVICES 545665 PARKING 35993 95463 5744819 82016 59532 580790 605458 0 0 10759 12005 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 307804 132042 1406526 608362 892849 798164 1535204 1307856 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3409422 2915057 309400 423049 0 0 906201 363118 0 0 0 0 0 0 781625 661162 0 0 276334 439251 2273560 1886580 X 1135862 1028477 0 0 0 0 1135862 1028477 3409422 2915057 -107385 X X false true X true false false false 2769842 506224 506224 692461 -186237 328309 59679 268630 1078217 548683 529534 798164 0 DEFERRED COMPENSATION LIABILIT 325778 CAPITAL LEASE 113473 439251 5927285 289851 289851 5637434 5637434 6034670 289851 289851 5744819 5744819 CMS EXPENSES SCH.

The committee uses an independent contractor to conduct an extensive review of current chambers of commerce presidents/CEOs of similar size chambers with similar mission focus across the United States. In addition, the contractor determines what salaries and compensation packages are for local and regional not-for-profit organizations' presidents/CEOs with similar size of staffing, budget, and regional scope. Once the contractor has completed a thorough analysis and made a recommendation, the Goals & Compensation Committee establishes the salary and compensation package for the president/CEO. For each vice president, a similar process is conducted by The Chamber, and the president/CEO determines each VP's salary based on independent contractor analysis and recommendation. The Benefits for VPs are the same as for all staff members. The Goals & Compensation Committee determines if any yearly incentive payment will be paid to all staff members, which include executive officers, based on The Chamber meeting corporate goals established by the Goals & Compensation Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year and the year-end financial statements. The president/CEO annually at year-end reviews executive officers' compensation with the Goals & Compensation Committee and the committee determines what if any increase will be set for the coming year. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request. The Form 990 with 990T is also available upon request and can be found on www.guidestar.org after filing with the IRS is completed.

The audit firm then presents the Audit Report and findings to the Finance & Audit committee. The committee reviews the Audit Report and recommends forwarding the Audit Report to the Board's Executive Committee for review and approval. The Board Chair sends copies of the annual Audit Report to each Executive Committee director and encourages each to review the Audit Report prior to its next monthly meeting. The Board Treasurer, who is the Chair of the Finance & Audit Committee, makes the presentation to the next monthly Executive Committee meeting. The Executive Committee, after review, then approves the Audit Report and recommends the documents be forwarded to the Board for review and final approval. The independent audit firm upon completion of the audit also prepares the Form 990 with 990T. The Form 990 and 990T are also reviewed by the Finance & Audit Commitee as well as the Officers. The Forms 990 and 990T are also made avaialbe for review by any board member. CONFLICT OF INTEREST PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C Conflict of Interest statements are completed and signed by all Board Directors and key employees annually and immediately by any replacement directors and key employees upon taking the new position throughout the year. The Conflict of Interest Statement also has a Code of Ethics section by which each director and key employee is expected to conduct themselves and must be signed. In the Conflict of Interest Policy are sections that address: Fiduciary Responsibilities/Disclosure; Definition of Conflict of Interest; and Restraint on Voting. The Board Chair reminds directors of the need to declare any conflicts of interest throughout the year. Those directors with a conflict of interest announce before a vote is taken that they are abstaining from the vote and state the reason for the conflict. The Board, as well as the Executive Committee, minutes will then reflect which directors abstained due to a conflict of interest.
