Factors considered include the cost of housing in the specific country, US government housing allowance guidelines and negotiations with the expatriate employee to be assigned to the location.

No housing allowance benefits are provided to directors, officers, or key employees.

Number of Individuals Employed FORM 990 Part I, Line 5 & Part V, Line 2a The number of employees listed (170) only reflects the employees paid out of the headquarters office. IREX is an international organization with over 480 total persons (including foreign local hires) in 50 locations throughout the world. The majority of employees are located in IREX country offices. Only one hundred employees are located in the headquarters office in Washington, DC. ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) promotes positive lasting change globally. IREX enables local individuals and institutions to build key elements of a vibrant society: quality education, independent media, and strong communities. To strengthen these sectors, IREX's program activities also include conflict resolution, technology for development, women and youth. With nearly 45 years of experience, IREX is guided by its enduring values and is committed to organizational excellence, measurable impact and thought leadership. IREX employs field-tested methods and innovative uses of technologies to develop practical and locally-driven solutions with our partners. PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY #1 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A IREX focuses on work with local partners to advance media professionalism, sustainability, sound media laws, and the local institutions that support independent media and journalists. We work across all media - television, radio, online, print, and mobile. Recognizing the shift to interactive and multiplatform media and the role of citizen journalists, IREX works to provide and integrate new technologies that democratize the flow of information. IREX research in media development, including the Media Sustainability Index, helps inform policymakers, academics, and media practitioners throughout the world as they seek ways to expand citizens' access to information. In 2011, IREX was a key organizer of the largest ever World Press Freedom Day commemoration May 1-3 in DC. This was the first time the central events were held in the United States. Working with UNESCO and fellow Executive Committee members from the National Endowment for Democracy's Center for International Media Assistance, the UN Foundation, and the U.S. Department of State, IREX helped bring together more than 800 speakers and participants from around the world to examine the evolving challenges to media freedom in the digital age. PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY #2 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B With a focus on local partners and local impact, civil society development engages people, organizations, and government bodies to work in partnership to improve their communities and foster good governance. IREX adapts its approach and training to meet the specific local needs of a community so that stakeholders can better serve their constituents. IREX integrates targeted activities for underrepresented populations, which include women, youth, ethnic minorities, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and people with disabilities. New, low-cost technologies are lowering the threshold for people to improve their lives and be leaders in their communities. While the technologies become more common, skills in applying them effectively for social issues often lag behind. For almost 20 years, IREX has been pioneering the integration of appropriate technology into development activities. Using simple technology, IREX has developed networks of young women leaders in Turkmenistan, helped health organizations send SMS medication reminders to those living with HIV/AIDS in Ukraine, worked with professional and citizen media to use blogs in the Middle East, and brought libraries in Romania and Ukraine into the 21st century. PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY #3 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C Education supports economic development, social reform, and civic participation within a society and provides the foundation for tomorrow's leaders. IREX works with individuals, institutions, and governments to expand access to and improve the quality of education worldwide. IREX designs programs and provides consulting to support lifelong learning starting at the primary and secondary levels, continuing through higher education, and including continuing professional training. Program areas include Basic Education Development, Higher Education Development, International Education and Research Support.

A similar disclosure is required for all members of staff senior management group. In addition, IREX has a written conflict of interest policy covering employees. After the annual disclosures are submitted, they are reviewed by the Office of the President (for Board members) or the Chief of Staff (for senior staff). If there is a potential or perceived conflict, the matter is elevated to the President and Chairperson of the Board (for Board members) or the President and Chief of Staff (for senior staff). If there is a conflict, the person would recuse themselves from any deliberations or decision-making related to the transaction. Process for Determining Compensation Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15a & 15b The President's annual salary increase and award are determined by the Chairperson of the Board of Governors in consultation with the members of the Executive Committee. Annual salary increases and awards for other officers and key employees are determined by the President based on annually established institutional salary increase ranges for all DC paid employees. Any officer or key employee awards are determined by the President within the parameters of an employee award plan adopted by the Board of Governors. Finally all other officer and key employee salary increases and awards (if any) are reviewed by the President with the Chairperson of the Board. Annually, IREX acquires salary survey information from a variety of sources and makes adjustments of salary ranges, if necessary. How Documents are Made Available to the Public Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
