SPECIFICALLY, THIS INCLUDES THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, MANAGEMENT, AND OPERATIONS OF THE THOMAS JEFFERSON NATIONAL ACCELERATOR FACILITY (ONE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF SCIENCE'S 10 NATIONAL LABORATORIES), AND THE COLLABORATIONS TO PROPOSE, AND SUBSEQUENTLY CONDUCT, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH UNDER FEDERAL AGENCY SPONSORSHIP. false false 10409467 1785232 The Southeastern Universities Research Association, Inc. (SURA) was established in 1980 as a nonprofit association of aselect group of research universities with the objective of proffering a plan for the construction of a national continuous electron beam accelerator facility (CEBAF). Ultimately, SURA was selected in a national competition by the Department of Energy to design, build, and operate CEBAF as an experimental nuclear physics facility in Newport News, Virginia. Today, SURA has over 60 universities, predominantly in the southeast, and including international members, organized to promote cooperative activities for scientific and engineering purposes, to foster excellence in scientific research, to strengthen the scientific and technical capabilities of the nation, and to provide training opportunities for scientists and engineers. CEBAF, renamed the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, or Jefferson Lab, is one of the US Department of Energy Office of Science's 10 national laboratories. SURA has been responsible for the management and operations(M&O)contract for the Jefferson lab since its plan for CEBAF was selected in 1983. SURA partnered with Computer Sciences Corporation/Applied Technology to form Jefferson Science Associates, LLC (JSA), which was competitively awarded the contract for the management and operations of the Jefferson Lab in April 2006. As the M&O contractor, JSA has oversight responsibility for Jefferson Lab operations including over 700 employees, ~ $100 million annual operating budget, and ~ $400 million in facility upgrades that will double the accelerator's energy and provide a new technology and engineering center that involves the addition of approximately 100,000 SF of industrial assembly, laboratory, and office space and renovation of the existing production facility. JSA is organized as a limited liability company and is governed by an operating agreement that limits activities exclusively to those having charitable, scientific, and educational purposes and a primary mission to perform the DOE Jefferson Lab M&O contract. SURA is the 60% majority owner and controlling administrative and tax member of JSA, and CSC/Applied Technologies LLC (CSC) is the 40% minority member. As part of JSA's management and operations responsibilities, SURA provides oversight of the scientific mission of the Jefferson Lab with assistance from faculty experts from its members and other universities. SURA also operates a 42-room Residence Facility on its property adjacent to the Jefferson Lab campus. Originally constructed in partnership with the City of Newport News, the guest house accommodates scientists and researchers who need temporary housing while conducting their research at the Lab. In addition to its work with the Jefferson lab, SURA directs intramural scientific research activities through collaborations with its member universities, government agencies, and other researchers working to advance and exploit the transformative nature of information technology on the regional, national and international fronts, and facilitating a better understanding of coastal, ocean and environmental phenomena that plays a prominent role in our lives. 10409467 true true false true false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true 12 0 true 20 true false false false false false false false false false false X 62 62 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true true true false X PETER BJONERUD 2024087872 1201 NEW YORK AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20005 X DR DOUG RIGNEY 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ALICE M CLARK 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR CURT PETERSON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR GERALD SONNENFELD 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR LISA CLOUGH 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR CAMILLE COLEY 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR LEO M CHALUPA 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR SPIROS DIMOLITSAS 1.0 X 0 0 0 MR JAMES O'CONNOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ELIZABETH ANDERSON FLETCHER 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR CHRISTOPHER F D'ELIA 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR KELVIN DROEGEMEIER 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR STEPHEN KRESOVICH 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR FRED D TOMPKINS 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR KEITH WILLIAMSON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JAMES M RANKIN 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR DANIEL I SOBER 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR MARK A BARTEAU 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR DAVID C LEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR DENIS A WIESENBURG 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ANDREW MEYERS 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ANDRES GIL 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR DAVID J ERNST 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR DONALD J BENSON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ROBERT DIXON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ROBERT R TWILLEY 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR SARA J GRAVES 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JOHN M MASON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR TRUELL HYDE 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR M J SOILEAU 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR EDWARD BRASH 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JAMES N SIEDOW 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR WINFRED M PHILLIPS 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR DAVID R SHAW 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR RICHARD NEWMAN 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR PAUL EUGENIO 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ROGER R STOUGH 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR GEOFFREY SUMMERS 1.0 X 0 0 0 MR J L ALBERT 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR CELESTINE A NTUEN 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JOHN NOFTSINGER 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JAMES W TRACY 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR LES GUICE 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ELIZABETH J BEISE 1.0 X 0 0 0 MR CHARLIE MCMAHON 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JUNE L MATTHEWS 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR RONI AVISSAR 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR SCOTT L WHITTENBURG 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JOSEPH C HALL 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR MARC HOIT 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR HARVEY SEIM 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JEFFREY R SEEMANN 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR MOHAMMAD KARIM 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JAMES S COLEMAN 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR GERARD P GILFOYLE 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR KAREN A HOLBROOK 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR JUAN SANCHEZ 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR ZISIS PAPANDREOU 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR DENNIS M MANOS 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR THOMAS C SKALAK 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR FRANCIS L MACRINA 1.0 X 0 0 0 DR TERRY L HERDMAN 1.0 X 0 0 0 PETER BJONERUD 40.0 X 222818 0 34080 ELIZABETH LAWSON 40.0 X 176256 0 27616 GREG KUBIAK 40.0 X 168483 0 28611 JERRY DRAAYER 40.0 X 406004 0 65445 GARY CRANE 40.0 X 183731 0 30171 1157292 0 185923 5 false true false Van Scoyoc Assoc 101 Constitution Ave NW Ste600-W WASHINGTON DC 20001 Lobbying 210464 KPMG LLP 1801 K STREET NW STE 12000 WASHINGTON DC 20036 Audit & Tax 116017 2 218000 9306878 50000 9574878 PERFORMANCE FEES 900099 1333584 1333584 RESIDENCE FACILITY INCOME 900099 451648 451648 1785232 453403 453403 0 0 8053856 7603123 450733 450733 450733 0 0 0 MISC.

Consistent with SURA's majority and controlling interest in Jefferson Science Associates LLC (JSA), the consolidated financial statements include the activities of SURA and the operations of JSA. Form 990, Part VI, Lines 6 and 7 SURA is organized as a non-stock, non-profit corporation and has three categories of members: standard members, entity members, and affiliate members. Standard members are institutions of higher learning or other complementary organizations that are exempt section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or that are the equivalent of Section 501(c)(3) organizations, and desire full participation in SURA's activities and support its goals. Each standard member has one vote and is represented both on the council of presidents, which provides overall direction and leadership to the corporation, and the board of trustees which manages the funds and business of the corporation. Entity members are for-profit entities which participate in some or all programmatic activities of the organization and support the goals of the corporation. There are 3 classes of entity membership, A, B and C; but only class A entity members have a vote and are represented on the council of presidents and the board of trustees. Class B and C entity members may attend the board of trustees meetings by invitation only and may participate in programmatic activities as permitted by policy and procedures. Affiliate members are non profit members desiring some participation in SURA's programmatic acitivites. Affiliate members do not have a vote nor are they represented on the council of presidents or the board of trustees. Both the standard member and the class A entity member are admitted to the corporation by the affirmative vote of the council of presidents. All other membership categories are admitted by affirmative vote of the board of trustees. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11 The CFO is responsible for assembling all information required to complete the form 990 which is ultimately prepared and reviewed by the organization's independent accounting firm KPMG. A final review of the form 990 is then conducted first by the CEO and then by the chair of the SURA finance committee on behalf of the board. Shortly before submitting the form 990 to the IRS, an information copy is provided to each trustee of the SURA board of trustees. A copy of the Form 990 is also provided to the corporate secretary as a permanent file copy for public access. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c It is SURA's policy that trustees, officers, committee members, staff, volunteers and others while acting on behalf of SURA, must avoid conflicts of interest. Even appearance of a conflict of interest must be avoided. Monitoring compliance with this policy is accomplished through a "mandatory conflict of interest disclosure policy" which requires that all board of trustees, officers, senior staff as designated by the president, and other specific individuals who may be considered to be "disqualified persons" under Federal Regulation 53.4958-3 sign and submit on an annual basis a mandatory disclosure statement to the corporate secretary. The corporate secretary is responsible for enforcing the mandatory disclosure policy and is required to maintain and annually update a file of signed mandatory disclosure statements. Disclosure statements are distributed annually and second notices are sent to non respondents. If the corporate secretary in consultation with SURA's general counsel conclude that a conflict of interest exists, the individual must not participate in the deliberations, consideration or vote in the transaction or matter at issue. A notation must be made in the minutes of any meeting at which deliberation, consideration or vote in the transaction or matter at issue is undertaken indicating that the individual with a conflict or potential conflict was excused for the meeting, took no part in any discussions pertaining to the transaction or matter, and refrained from voting on the transaction or matter. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15 The SURA board of trustees elects a compensation committee (committee) consisting of the chair and vice chair of the council of presidents, the chair and immediate past chair of the board of trustees, and the chair of the finance committee. The committee is an independent body responsible for compensation review and approval of, or transactions with, SURA's top management officials, officers, and key employees in accordance with SURA's compensation policy and intermediate sanctions compliance policy. The committee reviews or determines compensation for SURA's top management officials, officers, and key employees in comparison to compensation levels and other consideration paid by similarly situated organizations, both taxable and tax-exempt, for functionally comparable positions or transactions, and taking into account the location of the other organizations and the availability of similar specialties in the geographic area. The committee determines competitive compensation each year through surveys by nationally recognized independent firms and other relevant data when appropriate. The committee supplements this information by retaining independent human resources management consultants approximately every three years. The deliberations and decisions of the committee are facilitated and contemporaneously documented by the SURA Director of Administration and Human Resource Services. In compliance with the independent compensation analysis, the committee approves the salary range and specific salary of the SURA president and prepares formal correspondence amending the employment contract of the president. The committee reviews and approves salary range recommendations of the president for other corporate officers and key employees. The most recent compensation study was performed in 2010 by Mercer, a nationally recognized compensation and benefits consulting firm. The study resulted in an executive compensation review compliant with the terms of the RFP and committee responsibilities outlined above. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 SURA's governing documents (e.g. bylaws and board resolutions) and the most recent prior two years audited consolidated statements of financial position are available to the public via SURA's web site at www.sura.org. In addition, SURA's conflict of interest policy, as well as, other governance and corporate related policies are readily accessible at www.sura.org/staff.
