Conflict of Interest and Compensation Approval Policies

Section 1. Purpose of Conflict of Interest Policy

The purpose of this conflict of interest policy is to protect this tax-exempt corporation's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the corporation or any "disqualified person" as defined in Section 4958(f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code and as amplified by Section 53.4958-3 of the IRS Regulations and which might result in a possible "excess benefit transaction" as defined in Section 4958(c)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and as amplified by Section 53.4958 of the IRS Regulations. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations.

Section 2. Definitions

Interested Person. Any director, principal officer, member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, or any other person who is a "disqualified person" as defined in Section 4958(f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code and as amplified by Section 53.4958-3 of the IRS Regulations, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person.
Financial Interest. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family:
1. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the corporation has a transaction or arrangement;
2. A compensation arrangement with the corporation or with any entity or individual with which the corporation has a transaction or arrangement; or
3. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the corporation is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.
Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial.
A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under Section 3, paragraph B, a person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the appropriate governing board or committee decides that a conflict of interest exists.

Section 3. Conflict of Interest Avoidance Procedures

Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.
Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting

while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.

c. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest.

The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement.

After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the corporation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.

If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.

d. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.

If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

Section 4. Records of Board and Board Committee Proceedings

The minutes of meetings of the governing board and all committees with board delegated powers shall contain:

The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the governing board's or committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed.
The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings.

Section 5. Compensation Approval Policies

A voting member of the governing board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the corporation for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member's compensation.

A voting member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the corporation for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member's compensation.

No voting member of the governing board or any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the corporation, either individually or collectively, is prohibited from providing information to any committee regarding compensation.

When approving compensation for directors, officers and employees, contractors, and any other compensation contract or arrangement, in addition to complying with the conflict of interest requirements and policies contained in the preceding and following sections of this article as well as the preceding paragraphs of this section of this article, the board or a duly constituted compensation committee of the board shall also comply with the following additional requirements and procedures:

the terms of compensation shall be approved by the board or compensation committee prior to the first payment of compensation;
all members of the board or compensation committee who approve compensation arrangements must not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement as specified in IRS Regulation Section 53.4958-6(c)(iii), which generally requires that each board member or committee member approving a compensation arrangement between this organization and a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section 4958(f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code and as amplified by Section 53.4958-3 of the IRS Regulations):
1. is not the person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement, or a family member of such person;
2. is not in an employment relationship subject to the direction or control of the person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement;
3. does not receive compensation or other payments subject to approval by the person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement;
4. has no material financial interest affected by the compensation arrangement; and
5. does not approve a transaction providing economic benefits to the person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement, who in turn has approved or will approve a transaction providing benefits to the board or committee member.
the board or compensation committee shall obtain and rely upon appropriate data as to comparability prior to approving the terms of compensation. Appropriate data may include the following:

compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations, both taxable and tax-exempt, for functionally comparable positions. "Similarly situated" organizations are those of a similar size, purpose, and with similar resources;
the availability of similar services in the geographic area of this organization;
current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms;
actual written offers from similar institutions competing for the services of the person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement;

As allowed by IRS Regulation 4958-6, if this organization has average annual gross receipts (including contributions) for its three prior tax years of less than $1 million, the board or compensation committee will have obtained and relied upon appropriate data as to comparability if it obtains and relies upon data on compensation paid by three comparable organizations in the same or similar communities for similar services.

d. the terms of compensation and the basis for approving them shall be recorded in written minutes of the meeting of the board or compensation committee that approved the compensation. Such documentation shall include:

1. 2.

the terms of the compensation arrangement and the date it was approved;

the members of the board or compensation committee who were present during debate on the transaction, those who voted on it, and the votes cast by each board or committee member;

the comparability data obtained and relied upon and how the data was obtained;

If the board or compensation committee determines that reasonable compensation for a specific position in this organization or for providing services under any other compensation arrangement with this organization is higher or lower than the range of comparability data obtained, the board or committee shall record in the minutes of the meeting the basis for its determination;

If the board or committee makes adjustments to comparability data due to geographic area or other specific conditions, these adjustments and the reasons for them shall be recorded in the minutes of the board or committee meeting;

any actions taken with respect to determining if a board or committee member had a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement, and if so, actions taken to make sure the member with the conflict of interest did not affect or participate in the approval of the transaction (for example, a notation in the records that after a finding of conflict of interest by a member, the member with the conflict of interest was asked to, and did, leave the meeting prior to a discussion of the

compensation arrangement and a taking of the votes to approve the arrangement);

7. The minutes of board or committee meetings at which compensation arrangements are approved must be prepared before the later of the date of the next board or committee meeting or 60 days after the final actions of the board or committee are taken with respect to the approval of the compensation arrangements. The minutes must be reviewed and approved by the board and committee as reasonable, accurate, and complete within a reasonable period thereafter, normally prior to or at the next board or committee meeting following final action on the arrangement by the board or committee.

Section 6. Annual Statements

Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person:

has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy;
has read and understands the policy;
has agreed to comply with the policy; and
understands the corporation is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.

Section 7. Periodic Reviews

To ensure the corporation operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects:

Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's-length bargaining.
Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the corporation's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes, and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit, or in an excess benefit transaction.

Section 8. Use of Outside Experts

When conducting the periodic reviews as provided for in Section 7, the corporation may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the governing board of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted.

Lisa Menna – call to order
Verified that a quorum is present (defined as at least one other board member at least one of whom is the President)

Secretary Mary Vargo verified that advance notice of the meeting was properly given by e-mail and by phone.
Verified that all members received a copy of the 2012 annual board meeting minutes.

3. Present a copy of the minutes from previous meeting

All present confirmed that they had reviewed the minutes prior to the meeting and we did not need to review them together.

4. Legal report: Amendments to Bylaws

On January 21, 2013, Lisa Menna and Mary Vargo spoke with counsel (Arthur Rieman of The Law Firm for Nonprofits) and were informed that the following motions were inappropriate and unlawful, thus we wished to rescind the following prior motions. Mary read each motion and the board decided on each of their amendments.

Motion: The President of Cause to Wonder will serve a 25-year first term which will be renewable for a second term at the President’s discretion. The President may not be voted out for any reason, and if at any time this becomes untenable, the organization will cease to exist and the President will choose the qualified charity to which the assets will be donated.

Motion: The President has veto power over all decisions made by the board of directors and by any group within the organization, including any and all future employees and volunteers. This includes who can join the operation and how they operate. Furthermore, the President will determine which future projects will be taken on, who they will involve, and how they will be administered and presented.

Motion: The members of the board of directors will serve as long as they choose. Upon their resignation, the president will determine their replacements or if the position will be terminated. Tambra Swann moved and Lisa Menna seconded.

Motion passed. Tambra Swann nominated Lisa Menna for President and she was elected unanimously for her first 25-year term. Lisa Menna accepted the nomination and appointment.

The board agreed unanimously to rescind the prior motions.

Tambra Swan read each of the following proposed changes to the Bylaws. After each proposal, Lisa Menna motioned to pass the motion. The board unanimously agreed to pass each motion.

A. Page 3, Article 3, Section 5. Term of Office for Directors. We propose the following addition: "Lisa Menna shall be a board member for life or until she resigns or no longer has the capacity to serve. Each other director shall hold office for a period of three years and until his or her successor is elected and qualifies."

B. Page 3, Article 3, Section 8. Regular meetings. Currently: Regular meetings of directors shall be held annually on the best day available for as many directors as possible, unless such day falls on a legal holiday, in which event the regular meeting shall be held at the same hour and place on the next business day.

C. Page 4, Article 3, Section 11. Quorum for Meetings. Current wording "A quorum shall consist of two of the members of boards of directors." New wording: "A quorum shall consist of two members of the board of directors, one of whom is the President."

D. Page 5, Article 3, Section 13. Conduct of Meetings. Current wording: "Meetings shall be governed by Robert’s Rules of Order." Proposed new wording: Meetings shall be governed using rules of procedure deemed suitable by the board of directors. When a suitable set of rules is found, we will amend again.

E. Page 11, Article 7, Section 2. Corporate Seal. Move to remove this section.

F. We decided to add the following verbiage to the Executive Committee Section: "The president has the authority to take such action and make decisions on behalf of the organization as she deems necessary, in the best interest of the organization and to support its objectives and tax-exempt purposes."

Tambra Swan read the following proposed change to the Articles of Incorporation. After the proposal, Lisa Menna motioned to pass the motion. The board unanimously agreed to pass.

Change to the Dissolution Provision. "Upon the dissolution of this corporation, its assets remaining after payment, or provision for payment, of all debts and liabilities of this corporation shall be distributed to The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc." This shall change to "a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) chosen by the Cause to Wonder board of directors." Or see if anyone has another way they would like to word it.

Mary Vargo will notify the IRS and Nevada Secretary of State's audit department of the changes.

Lisa Menna noted that the Board ended its relationship with The Law Firm for Nonprofits and needs to seek new legal counsel.

5. TREASURER’s REPORT

Tambra Swan read each of the donors and donation amounts that have come in since March 2, 2013.
Mary Vargo confirmed that each of the donors has received a receipt of contribution by email.
Lisa Menna is going to do more research into funding Cause to Wonder in the way of a loan that would get paid back from the renewable unified trust that has been provided by John Menna.
Tambra Swan is going to look into the possibility of using Square to take donations. There is concern about the percentage of each donation that Square takes.
Lisa Menna stated that in 2013, professional service payments were made to:
- Mary Vargo
- Arthur Rieman, lawyer
- Terran Orletsky and Robyn Huth (website)

6. PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Hope for Limpopo fundraiser
- Lisa Menna reported that the Hope for Limpopo fundraiser in St. John brought in over $12,000.
- Lisa is not sure if she will be present for next year’s Hope for Limpopo fundraiser, but Chad Long has volunteered. A date has not yet been chosen.

Ethiopia Documentary update
- Simon missed his deadline for production
- He finished the 90-second introduction clip which explains CTW and is now on the front of CTW’s website.
- CTW is now looking for someone else to complete the documentary
- Simon applied for a $175,000 grant but was denied.

Website
- New website is up and donations are coming in via PayPal
- Need Meta Tags and updates to Facebook page
- Should we have a Wikipedia page?
- Mary Vargo will update on Google Ads in Secretary’s report
- Pro-bono consulting: Lisa implemented some of the easy changes suggested by Yoni Binstock (formerly of Ashoka)
  - Mary will send him a recommendation on LinkedIn

Lisa Menna proposed that we add Ralph Perkins to the Board of Directors and nominate him for the Thunder Award
- Ralph is interested in a U.S.-based CTW outreach event related to Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (LGBT) tolerance. This would be in the form of a viral video featuring a rat study that can be applied to human sexuality.
- A motion was made by Lisa to nominate Ralph Perkins. Motion was granted and there was unanimous approval to add him to the Board.

Thunder Award
- Lisa Menna announced nominations for the Thunder Award. The board agreed unanimously to award it to Ralph Perkins for his support of the gang violence program, future support for LGBT tolerance, and his fine pancakes at last year’s awards ceremony

CTW had hoped to go to Mozambique in November of this year, but the trip has been postponed until April.
- CTW will be working with the Manda Wilderness Community Trust, likely presenting its “helping women brings good luck” message.
- Lisa Menna has been in touch with Ambassador Griffiths and Lily Bunker

Program follow-up is needed for impact measurement
- CTW needs to do a video follow-up in St. Thomas to see what kind of impact “What have you got to lose?” has had three years later. It was suggested that an ad be placed in the St. Thomas newspapers and/or on Craigslist.
- Ethiopia. This could be an easy place to determine impact over time. The place to do this would be to go to Awassa, which is near a resort area.

Media coverage update
- CTW has an upcoming article in Comment Magazine
- There will be an article in New Moon, a magazine for girls aged 11-13. The article will feature Lisa and CTW and will come out in November 2013.
- MUM, International Brotherhood of Magicians, will have an article come out around Christmas.

Partnerships

- Lisa had an idea to place ads in playbills in LA and NYC.

7. Secretary’s report

o Franklin Ibemessie: $100 – an African man that Lisa met in the airport in Africa,

 Donation of 190,000 frequent flyer miles from John Menna was used for the
Mozambique trip.
 Jacque Menna donated $5,600.
Review of Payments Made

 Services rendered (PayPal payments) - $230 to Mary Vargo; $50 to The Limitless

Generation (Lindsey)

 Government fees - Filed annual list of Directors, changes to Amendments/Bylaws, and

trademark CTW -

 Additional expenses:

$351.50

$10,316 on Mozambique trip.

 Lisa brought receipts from Mozambique and Mary Vargo will scan and organize them.

 Lisa paid out of pocket for all Mozambique expenses, which are considered a loan to

CTW .

 Anticipating needs to change from loan to finding a credit card.

Mary Vargo will research credit cards suitable for non-profits.

 Lisa would like to set it up so that she can loan money to CTW and be paid through the

organization. She will find the paperwork needed (was e-mailed to her).

We will need a lawyer’s assistance for the paperwork. Can we find pro bono non-

profit lawyer?

Fundraising

 Lisa will approach the group Live Marketing out of Chicago. They do corporate events

and trade shows and might be able to donate.

 Lisa performed at the Gathering 4 Gardner conference, which resulted in the creation of a

short video. The video is on the CTW website, and its purpose is to publicize Lisa as a

corporate speaker. CTW will take donations for Lisa’s speeches.

 Can we find an organization that can sponsor us?

 Congratulations to Jacque Menna for directly referring three individuals who made

donations.

 Lisa made a list of high net worth people she knows who she plans to approach this year.

We need to structure our approach and communications plan. It will likely consist

of multiple e-mails customized to each individual. We will come up with one and

implement it during the next year.

 Google AdWords Results from 2014

In 2014: 46,000 clicks and 3.2 million impressions. Click-through rate was

1.44%.

Did not result in any donations.

vs. 2013: 55,688 clicks and 2.6 million impressions. Click-through rate was

2.12%

Need to change our Google ads and, instead of focusing on Ethiopia, feature Lisa

as a motivational speaker. We can base it on the quote used in Scientific America

about using curiosity as a precursor to creativity and discovery. Our target

audience will be event planners, and the ands will link directly to the motivational

speaker page of the CTW website. We need to come up with some key phrases,

such as “trade show in the jungle.”

 We should try to increase spontaneous donations by using Squarespace machines for

smartphones. Lisa has one, and believes that Mary Vargo, Ralph Perkins and maybe

Jacque Menna should each have one.

Trademark Status

 Mary Vargo worked with the California Western School of Law, specifically law student

Bryan Martinez, to file for a trademark for the Cause to Wonder name and logo.

 The serial number for the application is 86469026, and the status can be searched at

http://tsdr.uspto.gov/.

 The trademark was filed on December 2nd. The last status update on December 9th reads:

“

New application will be assigned to an examining attorney approximately 3 months after

filing date.”

Mary Vargo

nd. will follow up around March 2

 Lisa Menna suggested that we nominate Bryan Martinez for the Thunder Award, and

Mary Vargo agreed.

Ethiopia Wonder Tour and Film Follow-Up

 Simon Clentworth was a videographer that accompanied CTW on the Ethiopia Wonder

Tour. He has laid claim to the footage, BUT CTW only agreed to compensate him for his

funds. If Simon wants to create a film, that is up to him, but Lisa Menna can no longer

work with him. He proposed to make a documentary film and had a time limit of 2 years.

He did not meet this goal and still has not created a finished product. His proprietary

claims do not exist. CTW has documentation that he was a volunteer (in form of a letter).

This proof that he is a volunteer was required to obtain a visa to Ethiopia.

 Lisa Menna took Simon Clentworth’s footage to Nancy Rosenberg (10 Emmys). Her

advice was to return to Ethiopia and determine if the Wonder Tour was effective. Lisa is

considering a Kickstarter campaign to finance a return trip.

 Lisa went through her paperwork from Ethiopia and we reviewed some of the items (for

instance, we were unable to obtain a copy of the video footage that was televised in

Hawassa. Ideas about future villages to visit.)

Mozambique Wonder Tour Report

 Ambassador Doug Griffiths assisted the CTW group on the ground in Ethiopia. Leti set

up the events at the 5 villages (of 26) that were visited.

 Questions that were asked to gather baseline data include: 1. Did they think the lake was

clean? and 2. Were people taking care of the lake? Only about 1 percent believed the lake

was dirty and/or not being taken care of.

o Cause to Wonder posted a sign that stayed up for weeks.

o CTW also used an African musician to help write the jingle. The music had an

African beat and sound.

 It was suggested that we plan a return trip to Mozambique for 4 to 6 weeks to conduct a

follow-up study with film. An impact report with metrics needs to be written as a follow

up.

o Unfortunately, Leti is not there now, but Richard (the translator) is.

o Doug Griffiths is ambassador there for another year. Lisa Menna suggested that

we approach his children’s school and send out an entourage.

 Lisa presented Mary with a drawing from a boy in Mozambique, and the CTW Tour

itinerary from the Manda Wilderness Community Trust.

 Lisa will contact Leti. Thunder and Lightning Awards

Guy Benjamin School Career Event with Captain Tambra Swan of America West

Salary for Lisa

 It was proposed that CTW nominate Leti and Richard of Mozambique and Bryan

Martinez of the California Western School of Law.

 The Board of Directors will vote at a future meeting.

 We want to thank Board Member Tambra Swan for volunteering at this event for

elementary school children in Coral Bay, St. John.

 Starting in 2015, Lisa should be paid for her contribution. Since Cause to Wonder’s

inception, her volunteer time has totaled 10 hours per week, or 500 hours per year.

o Mary Vargo moves that the organization compensate the President, Lisa Menna,

$40,000 annually beginning in 2015.

o Lisa Menna seconds the motion.

o Motion passed.

 As a next step, we need to create an arms-length loan set up through CTW. It was

reiterated that we will need to seek legal advice.

Acquisition of training space

 Lisa Menna staed that the Mennas’ property at Hansen Bay, St. John, has been used for

several events, planning, and the CTW award ceremony. Continued use is a possibility,

but there is also a chance that it may not be available in the future

 Lisa Menna stated that another possibility is to do a “Wonder Fest” in Nelson, BC. We

could work with the Impatience Cultural Development Association to presenting

“curiosity as a way of opening minds.” The headquarters would be The Roxanne House

in Nelson, BC. Lisa Menna has a valid work permit for Canada, and we will look into

hosting an event there. The house has a stage and seating, and Lisa has used it for past

events.

Special Mention

Lisa read a quote from Congressman Jared Huffman from Northern California. He said of Lisa

Menna, that she is: “Uniquely applying your skills as a world class magician to help people who

are truly in need.” We could use this for the website or other marketing.

Review of Other Past Wonder Tours

 What Have you Got to Lose – Gang Prevention/Awareness

o Recently, a young man working as a porter at the St. Thomas airport

approached Lisa Menna and said he recognized her as the magician from a

show at his school. He told her he was one of the boys in a small group Eddy

talked to after the presentations. He asked Lisa how Eddie was doing and

showed her a picture of his baby girl.

o We should have a follow-up of the event through the schools in St. Thomas.

 Hope for Limpopo events

o We will not do an event this year. We have done three, and this has been

enough

 We have received resignation letters from all three.

Lisa Menna moves that these three positions remain vacant until a qualified volunteer

becomes available.

Mary Vargo seconds the motion.

Motion passed.

Other items

 Lisa wants to do a show featuring homosexuality. The Cause To Wonder team is

presently working on a short animated video project, based on the 1964 scientific

experiment with rat population that proves that homosexuality in a species goes from

approximately 5% to 40% when overpopulation occurs. Made without language, this

video is aimed to be accessible to all nations, so that wonder, tolerance and understanding

can be built where there once was simply no cultural context for understanding,

supporting or even appreciating homosexuality.

o In the website, under “Current”, Lisa wants to do a short animated video.

 Other idea is to go to India. Mary can ask Lydia Dean of Go Philanthropic for ideas.

 Should we include our meeting minutes on the website? Transparency is important.

 We should get listed on GuideStar.

 We will move the address of Cause to Wonder from Kingwood, Texas to Mary Vargo’s

address in St. John.

 Next step for Mary Vargo is to create an official metrics and impact report.
