WHEN YOU’RE A CYCLONE, YOU’RE NEVER REALLY FAR FROM HOME. The Iowa State University Alumni Association strengthens the lifelong Iowa State adventure of Cyclones everywhere by COMMUNICATING, CONNECTING, and CELEBRATING Cyclone pride.

#CyclonesEverywhere


A MESSAGE FROM THE ISUAA BOARD CHAIR Iowa Staters are different. We have a passion, loyalty, and pride in our university and each other that is unmatched. (If you don’t believe me, try traveling anywhere in something cardinal and gold and see what happens - you will witness that Cyclones really are everywhere!) We are each unique and have a different path and story, but as Cyclones, we are forever connected. At the Iowa State University Alumni Association, we are incredibly honored to be the hub that brings our alumni, students, and friends together by continuing to build relationships (personal and professional) and by offering innovative benefits, discounts, activities, travel, events, and programs. We take very seriously the opportunity to be your lifelong conduit to Iowa State and each other. There’s something else I’ve noticed about the Iowa State community. We have a spirit of resilience and a work ethic that shows we don’t give up or quit, just because something’s hard. 2020 has been a real test of that resilience – both on and off campus. No one anticipated we would have a global pandemic hit and unemployment would be at an allPhoto credit: Matt Van Winkle time high. No one anticipated we’d be sending students home to finish their Spring 2020 classes online. No one anticipated that our connections with our alumni, students, and friends would only be electronic. No doubt we’ve all experienced some pretty big challenges this year. But remember, we’re Iowa Staters. We can and will do this. We will rise up and pull together and find a way. We will innovate – just as many Cyclones before us did. In 1896, George Washington Carver was recognized as one of the most iconic scientists of all time – and not surprising, he began his journey at Iowa State University. His research resulted in the creation of hundreds of uses for peanuts and sweet potatoes, from plastics to laundry soap to diesel fuel. Computers today continue to be built on many of the basic tenets that originated with the world’s first electronic digital computer, created at Iowa State in 1937. The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) was developed by physics professor John Vincent Atanasoff, who wanted to increase the speed and accuracy of scientific calculations. Professor Wes Buchele was awarded a patent for a machine he invented in 1966 alongside grad student Virgil Haverdink: a baler that produces large, round bales of hay that can be moved by tractor. Today, nearly all of the world’s hay is collected using the large round baler. There are numerous other alumni, students, and friends of Iowa State with stories of thinking outside the box and innovations big and small. There is so much innovation at Iowa State AND after Iowa State. Rest assured this will continue well into the future, as under President Wendy Wintersteen’s leadership, Iowa State University continues to infuse innovation and entrepreneurship into the curriculum in every college. And visit the Student Innovation Center if you haven’t; it’s amazing!

“Instead of thinking outside of the box, think like there is no box.” – Ziad Abdelnour

Your Iowa State University Alumni Association staff, Board of Directors, Board Associates, club leaders, InCYde Influencers, and Student Alumni Leadership Council members are working hard to find ways to bring us together and continue to tell the stories of our alumni, students, and friends in FY21. We know that things may need to be different, but we also know that now, more than ever, Cyclones need each other. This quote seems fitting for this year, “Instead of thinking outside of the box, think like there is no box.” – Ziad Abdelnour. We’ll dream about what could be for our Cyclone family, instead of what is. We’ll use this year as an opportunity to reimagine, reinvent, and refresh. As our fellow alumni, students, and friends, we ask for your continued support, engagement, and feedback as we innovate and create the future together.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE TIPS Article VIII-Section 3 (Parliamentary Procedure) of the ISUAA Bylaws states, “Matters of procedure in parliamentary practice, not covered in the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, shall be governed by the latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order.” The purpose of these tips is to help all board members understand some basics of following proper parliamentary procedure for board and committee meetings. The use of parliamentary procedures promotes efficient meetings so the business can be transacted in an orderly manner. Practicing proper parliamentary procedure also helps the group in the following ways: •

address one item at a time,

extend courtesy to all involved in the meeting,

ensure majority rules, and

protect rights of all members.

Use of gavel This is a symbol of leadership, and it helps keep meetings flowing efficiently. •

One tap (3 basic uses) - 1. After announcing results of vote; means that business item is completed. 2. Meeting is adjourned. 3. Members are to be seated.

Two taps - Officially call meeting to order.

Three taps - Signal that all members are to stand (such as for salute to flag).

17

Series of taps (2 basic uses) - 1. Get members attention. Everyone is to be quiet and sit down so meeting can be called to order. 2. Restore order; help get attention and focus back on the current business item.

Basics of a motion to formally and properly make decision on a business item which is officially on the approved board or committee agenda. Agenda should clearly show which items will need board or committee approval.

4. Member is recognized by chair, and member presents motion in proper form - “I move that (give specific business item) be approved. 5. Chair asks for a second. 6. Another member seconds the motion. 7. Chair calls for discussion on motion. 8. Upon completion of discussion, Chair calls for vote (All in favor; then, all opposed, and any abstaining). Special Note: Vote is usually by voice, but chair can take a vote by show of hands or by asking members to stand. If special circumstances call for a recorded vote (due to policy or chair wants to be sure all members vote), than a roll call vote is taken. 9. Chair announces vote results with one tap of gavel and moves on to next item on agenda. Robert's Rules of Order has many specific motions that can be used to help conduct efficient and productive meetings. Two basic motions that could sometimes be used in a meeting are the motion to amend and the motion to refer to a committee. •

Amend is when during discussion on a motion, a board/committee member can add/delete language in the original motion by properly approving such an amendment before voting on the main motion as amended..

Refer to a committee is when discussion on a motion brings up areas or questions that need further information before a final decision can be made. If approved, the committee is charged to get information and bring item(s) back to a future meeting for the final decision to be made by the Board.

Adjourn the meeting 1. Chair calls for motion to adjourn after all items on agenda are completed. 2. Member is recognized and moves to adjourn.

1. Report/update is given by board member and/or staff

3. Chair gets a second from another member.

2. Discussion and questions on item.

4. Chair takes vote (Note- motion to adjourn is not debatable so no discussion).

3. Chair asks for a motion to approve specific item which has been indicated needs board/committee approval.

5. Chair announces that meeting is adjourned and taps gavel once.


Consent Agenda An organization can follow protocol to have this on agenda. Basic item is minutes of previous meeting to be approved. ISUAA Board protocol has been to include formal approval of an appointment of a board associate to a committee or a non-alumnus/a representative to the board as part of the consent agenda. Key point of proper parliamentary procedure on 'Consent Agenda' is that it means one motion is properly presented and seconded to approve the 'Consent Agenda.' Chair can ask for minor clarification or correction on minutes but no open discussion is allowed! Immediately take vote!! If a board member wants to discuss something specific on the 'Consent Agenda,' chair must move that item off the 'Consent Agenda' and place it later in the meeting as a separate item to be fully discussed and then properly voted on.

Executive Sessions (Formally known as 'Closed Meetings of the Board') Such sessions should be of very, very limited use by the ISUAA Board of Directors. The primary function of a Planned Executive Session should be to discuss/review the ISUAA President/CEO evaluation. Only if a specific legal or liability issue has come forward on an item, should such a session be on the agenda. The ISUAA Board adopted an Executive Session Policy in 2018. The current board chair needs to be responsible to ensure all board members understand this policy and ensure the policy is followed. The Executive Sessions Policy, adopted by the ISUAA Board of Directors, meets all basic parliamentary procedure rules for these sessions as well as legal requirements.

HISTORY OF THE ISU ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Iowa State University Alumni Association was founded Nov. 12, 1878, by the first graduating class (1872) of Iowa Agricultural College. The class consisted of 26 alumni—24 men and two women. The original mission, which is still honored today, was to keep alumni close to the college (now university) and to each other. Edgar W. Stanton (class of 1872) served as the Association’s first president. Stanton served as president until 1893. The Association has functioned continuously since that time. Under the leadership of Ward R. Jones (class of 1897), president from 1893 to 1920, the Association was first incorporated in 1904 as an independent, self-governing association and began publication of the periodical Iowa State Alumnus in 1905, which continued publication for 69 years. Membership dues, $1 per alumnus/a, were first charged in 1910. This included an Alumnus subscription. In 1914, the Association employed a professional staff and established an office in Alumni Hall. Harold D. Pride (class of 1897) became president in 1921 and served until 1932. The Association’s office was moved to the Memorial Union in 1928. In 1932, the Alumni Association, under the leadership of Wallace E. Barron (class of 1928), was reincorporated to legalize the organization for the acceptance of gifts and bequests for the college. From 1934-1938, the Association had rights to all potentially patentable processes and devices growing out of the college-supported research. In 1938, the Iowa State Research Foundation was incorporated, and the Association assigned all its interests in the area of patents to the new foundation. Barron served in this role until 1968. By World War II, gifts to Iowa State through the Alumni Association totaled $100,000.

19

From 1951 to 1980, alumni gifts were solicited annually by the affiliate organization, the Alumni Achievement Fund, to finance a wide variety of projects and activities that would not be supported by state appropriations alone. During this time, the Association was led by Robert L. Crom (class of 1950) serving from 1968 to 1971, Don F. Gustofson (class of 1955) serving from 1971 to 1979, and James A. Hopson (class of 1969) serving from 1979 to 1999. In the 1970s, the Association expanded its outreach to include the engagement of current students by creating the Student Alumni Association (known today as the Student Alumni Leadership Council).

As the Alumni Association moved into the 1980s, the emphasis on service increased. Ongoing fundraising activities for the university were assumed by the newly incorporated Iowa State University Achievement Foundation, now known as the Iowa State University Foundation. The number of alumni had doubled during the decade of the ’70s, and services to the group expanded rapidly during the ’80s. Memberships in the organization soared, allowing new programs and services to be developed, including VISIONS, a full-color quarterly magazine. Programs and services for alumni in the 1990s were enhanced by an emphasis on research and planning. Since 1990, the Board of Directors has commissioned market research, conducted self-studies and external reviews, and developed five strategic plans designed to focus resources on increasing memberships, visibility, and services to alumni and the university. The recommendations from the 1996 self-study and external review and the 1997-2000 Strategic Plan guided the budget and programming decisions for the Association to better serve Iowa State and its present and future alumni and friends. In 1999, Jeffery W. Johnson (class of 2014) was hired as the Association's eighth leader. The Board also voted in 1999 to create The Circle, a group composed of Iowa State University Alumni Association former presidents/chairs and executive directors/presidents. In 2011, The Circle leadership expanded the group’s membership to include honorary members. Honorary members consisted of spouses and partners of deceased leaders and long-serving staff of the Association. Today, The Circle continues to work on behalf of the university and the Association. The 2001-2006 Strategic Plan focused on strengthening membership, engaging constituents, developing strategic alliances, and enhancing organization health. In 2003, the Board voted to focus its efforts on building a permanent home and planned for the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Alumni Association. A proposal for an alumni center was approved by the Iowa Board of Regents in FY04. Due to the impending renovation of the Memorial Union, the Alumni Association took up temporary residence in Fisher-Nickell Hall. The Alumni Association celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2003-2004 and reached its goal of topping 50,000 members


by the end of 2005, making it the second-largest duespaying member organization in the Big 12 Conference. A new strategic plan for 2006-2009 was adopted in May 2006, with an emphasis on connecting alumni and friends to ISU and each other, engaging students for a lifetime connection to Iowa State, and positioning the ISUAA to advance Iowa State University. In 2006, the Association also assumed responsibility from the university for oversight of the ISU Retirees Association and the College for Seniors program (renamed the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Iowa State University in 2008 (OLLI at ISU), established to serve educational needs of individuals 50 years of age or older. The OLLI at ISU program was established through a grant, and subsequent $1M endowment gift, from the Bernard Osher Foundation. Construction of the new ISU Alumni Center on Beach Avenue in the Iowa State Center complex began in August 2006. Roy (class of 1957) and Bobbi (2006 honorary alumna) Reiman funded the cost of the building’s construction, with additional donors contributing to the project’s furnishings, art pieces, gardens, and endowment. HLKB architectural firm of Des Moines designed the facility, ISU’s Office of Facilities Planning and Management served as project and construction managers, and Woodruff Construction of Fort Dodge, Iowa, was selected as the facility contractor. The 34,500-square-foot facility was dedicated during Homecoming on Oct. 25, 2008. In 2007, the Board of Directors approved the creation of the Young Alumni Council (YAC), an organization charged with enhancing service to and engagement of recent graduates, defined today as less than 12 years out of Iowa State. In 2020, YAC was reconstituted to be a listserve group and had its name changed to InCYde Influencers. In 2008, the Association’s Board of Directors signed and implemented an official memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the university, clarifying the relationship between the university and the Association. This MOU was amended in 2019. As part of this understanding, the Association’s president and CEO became the sole employee of the Association. Ongoing evaluation, as well as future hiring of the Association’s president and CEO, is the responsibility of the Association’s Board with input from the president of the university. The Board signed a similar MOU with the ISU Foundation in 2010.

In 2009, the Financial Success Task Force concluded its work and voted in 2010 to have staff of the ISUAA remain “loaned” employees from the university. The Board voted in 2009 to create The Leadership Guild to be a constituent group charged with re-engaging former ISUAA Board members in the life, work, and aspiration of the Association. In 2009-2010, the Alumni Center grounds were landscaped; dedication ceremonies were held in October 2011. In 2010, the staff and Board began work on both a new strategic plan and an Alumni Center business plan. Both were approved in 2012. The 2012-2016 strategic plan focused on student and alumni networks, promoting the excellence of Iowa State, and providing exceptional service to constituents. In addition, under the new plan the Association sought to nurture loyalty, pride, and tradition; be a healthy, sustainable organization; and provide a destination for the Iowa State family in the ISU Alumni Center. In 2012, the Board of Directors kicked off a membership campaign to grow paid membership from 50,000 to 60,000 by the end of 2016 and increase the Association’s use of social media technologies. During Homecoming 2013, the Alumni Association celebrated the 5th anniversary of the dedication of the ISU Alumni Center, with a focus on the building’s themed hallways. Also during Homecoming, the Student Alumni Leadership Council celebrated its 40th anniversary. In spring 2014, the Association published a special VISIONS Across America issue of VISIONS magazine and opened its companion portrait exhibit in the Brunnier Art Museum. During FY14, the Association adopted a Strategic Values Proposition statement. In FY15 the Association’s Board approved a staff reorganization plan. The plan was implemented in FY16. The Board and staff worked together to draft a FY16 work plan that focused on the following four areas: communications, engagement, membership, and financial health. In FY15 the Association utilized a Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion to develop its Culture Statement. On Oct. 29, 2014, Lora and Russ Talbot (’17 honorary alumni) of Belmond, Iowa, signed an ISU Foundation agreement making a $2.5M gift commitment to endow the Association’s president and CEO position. The endowment led to the position being retitled to the Lora and Russ Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO. This endowment also

HISTORY OF THE ISU ALUMNI ASSOCIATION CONTINUED became the first non-academic endowed position on the Iowa State University campus and the first such endowment for an alumni relations position in the nation. Furthermore, following the hiring of a vice president for marketing, engagement, and business development, the Association issued a request for proposals for branding and marketing services. Flynn Wright of Des Moines was hired. The ISUAA Board approved three major initiatives in FY17: 1) new branding elements, marketing strategies, and the rallying cry “Cyclones Everywhere;” 2) relaunch of its legacy program under the name LegaCY Club; and 3) a new fiveyear strategic plan focusing on constituent engagement, collaborative partnerships, internal organization and diversity, and financial health. FY18 was framed by the first-year implementation of the Association’s five-year Strategic Plan. Key accomplishments were the completion of a comprehensive Programs and Services Audit, staff reorganization plan, staff professional development funding plan, successful fundraising, a refocused budgeting process, and outreach to collaborative campus partners.

FY19 saw the Association complete an all-alumni printed directory; a redesign of the ISUAA’s mobile app; including partnering with the Registrar’s Office to add the Commencement program to the app; solidify an inaugural sponsor for the annual wall calendar; increase the number of travelers, OLLI participants, University Book Store sales, Gala attendees; and focus on diversity, especially related to alumni of color. Financial policy work further enhanced the sustainable future of the organization. The Association saw engagement with its alumni of color grow from 7% in FY18 to 14.44% in FY20. A three-year Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Office of Extension and Outreach. In September 2019, the Association hosted its inaugural Loyal Leaders Celebration Weekend. In March 2020, Association staff began working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Alumni Center was closed to the public and outreach activities and programs were moved online.

CYCLONES ARE EVERYWHERE! Alumni, students, and friends of Iowa State University are located throughout the world. The ISU Alumni Association is continuously learning more and more about these constituents. The Association's ultimate goals are to attract and retain members and to involve ISU constituents in the life and work of the University. Serving members is at the center of everything the Association does—from producing an award-winning magazine to providing innovative ways for ISUAA members to connect online to ISU, to the Association, and with each other.

ALUMNI 273,134 Iowa State alumni live in more than 150 countries. A total of 97.5% of alumni live in the United States; 2.5% live world-wide – from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Membership in the alumni population – those holding degrees from ISU – totaled more than 32,967 in FY20, representing 76.3% of total Alumni Association members. Young alumni represent more than 23.5% of all alumni, 3.5% of whom have active Alumni Association memberships. (Source: ISU Alumni Association Country, State, County Report, July 2020.)

STUDENTS Fall 2019 enrollment at Iowa State was 33,391. Academic year 2019-2020 student membership in the Alumni Association reached 4,457 members. Sophomores made up the largest category of members, with freshmen close behind. FAN membership represented 13.3% of total students. (Sources: ISU Fact Book 2019-2020 and ISU Alumni Association FAN Report, July 2020.)

FRIENDS Friends of Iowa State are perhaps too numerous to count, but we do keep in touch with a special group of non-alumni—former students, spouses, parents, ISU faculty and staff, and others who have chosen to strengthen their affiliation with ISU through Association membership. 5,767 non-alumni friends represented 13.4% of the Association’s FY20 total membership. (Source: ISU Alumni Association Membership Statistics Report, July 2020.)

Amended on May 29, 2009.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ARTICLE I – Purpose The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to prevent the personal interest of employees, members of the Board of Directors, and/or committees from interfering with the performance of their duties to the Association, or resulting in personal, financial, professional and/or political gain on the part of such persons at the expense of the Association or its members.

ARTICLE II – Definitions 1. Interested persons. An interested person is any employee, Board member, or committee member of the Association or family as outlined in section 3 below who has a financial interest in a transaction or arrangement involving the Association. 2. Financial interest. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment or family: a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Association has a transaction or arrangement.


c. A potential ownership or investment interest, greater than five percent, in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Association is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. 3. Family. “Family” includes an individual’s spouse, partner, parents, siblings, children, and corresponding in-law and step relationships. 4. Entity. Entity shall mean any sole proprietorship, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, corporation, professional corporation, association, professional association, enterprise, franchise, trust, joint venture, business or other entity, whether non-profit or for profit. 5. Compensation/employment. Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are substantial in nature. Employees, Board members, or committee members must disclose any employment relationship with an organization that does business with, or competes with, the Association. This disclosure requirement includes serving as an advisor or consultant to any organization of that type, unless that activity is conducted as a representative of the Association. Employees, Board members, or committee members and their immediate families may not accept gifts, except those of nominal value, or any special discounts or loans from any person or company doing or seeking to do business with the Association. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under Article III, Section 2, a person who has a financial interest will be determined to have a conflict of interest if the Association’s Board of Directors or appropriate committee decides that a conflict of interest exists. This conflict of interest policy shall be reviewed with each new director during that Board member’s orientation meeting and shall be reviewed with the full Board of Directors at the Board retreat each year.

ARTICLE III – Procedures 1. Duty to disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and all material facts to the directors and members of committees with Board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.

BOARD INFORMATION

b. A compensation arrangement with the Association or with any entity or individual with which the Association has a transaction or arrangement.

An interested person is prohibited from misusing inside information, prior to public disclosure, for his/her own benefit or for the benefit of members of his/her family or from disclosing that information to anyone who does not have a legitimate business need to know the information. 2. 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, the Audit Committee will have the responsibility of determining whether a conflict exists. 3. Procedures for addressing conflict of interest: a. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or committee meeting, but after such a presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or the arrangement that is the subject of the potential conflict of interest. b. The chair of the Board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate the alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. c. After exercising due diligence, the Board or committee shall determine whether the Association can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the Board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Association’s best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Association, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.

BOARD POLICIES – GENERAL CONTINUED 4. Violations of the Conflict of Interest Policy:

CONSENT AGENDA POLICY

A consent agenda will be used when there is a noncontroversial business item(s) on which the Board needs to vote.

BOARD POLICIES – GENERAL CONTINUED EXECUTIVE SESSIONS

GRIEVANCE POLICY

PLANNED EXECUTIVE SESSIONS

A grievance is any significant concern, other than harassment, that arises and is in violation of Board or personnel practices, either between members of the ISUAA Board of Directors or Alumni Association employees and Board directors.

The board of directors may hold a planned Executive Session as part of any regularly scheduled board meeting. Agenda items proposed to be discussed and specific individuals, including the President/CEO, whose attendance is requested will be identified on the full board meeting agenda sent out by the Chair.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES EXECUTIVE SESSIONS An Executive Session may be called by the Chair or majority vote of the board members present to address special circumstances at any time during a regular meeting. The Chair will determine if the President/CEO and/or other specific individuals will participate in any or all of this type of Executive Session. Protocol for all Executive Sessions must follow ISUAA Board of Directors Bylaws and accepted Parliamentary Procedure based on 'Robert's Rules of Order' including approval of a motion to go into Executive Session; requiring that discussion is limited by the Chair to stated topics; confirming that all discussion is confidential; ensuring that no official minutes are kept of these sessions by any board member; verifying that the Chair documents or records the proceedings to have for future Executive Sessions or if ever needed for legal issue; ensuring that no official decisions are made; allowing the Chair or board to request specific individuals to be present for all or part of the Executive Session; and upon completion of discussion, requiring that a motion is approved to move back into full open board meeting.

107

If an item discussed in Executive Session requires board action, a motion is presented when the board resumes its open session or at the next appropriate board meeting. Board minutes will indicate when board went into Executive Session and when the board completed the Executive Session. Board minutes will include any action taken which resulted from the Executive Session. Adopted by the ISU Alumni Association Board of Directors on Feb. 9, 2018.

Board directors are encouraged to take grievances involving another director directly to that person for discussion and resolution. If the two directors are unable to resolve their differences, they may at that time request a mediation meeting with the chair of the Board with both directors present. If the grievance is unresolved at that level, a second mediation meeting can be arranged with the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO and/or executive committee. The resolution of the chair and the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO and/or executive committee shall be considered final. Board directors are encouraged to take grievances involving staff directly to that person for discussion and resolution. If the two are unable to resolve their differences, they may at that time request a mediation meeting with the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO and/or the chair of the Board of Directors. The resolution between these parties shall be considered final. Should the grievance involve a Board director and the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO, the involved parties should meet and attempt to resolve their differences. If the two are unable to resolve their differences, they may request a mediation meeting with the chair of the Board and the executive committee. If the grievance is unresolved at that level, a second mediation meeting can be arranged with the president of the university or his/her designee for discussion and final resolution. Board members are encouraged to take grievances involving the chair directly to that person for discussion and resolution. If the two are unable to resolve their differences, they may at that time request a mediation meeting with the executive committee. The resolution between these parties shall be considered final. The ISUAA Board of Directors recognizes that certain circumstances may arise in which it may be inappropriate for Board members to pursue the resolution of a problem


• If the grievance or problem involves a known or suspected violation of the law • If the grievance or problem is clearly not within the authority of the Board chair to resolve • If the parties involved mutually agree to bypass the Board chair • If the nature of the grievance, problem, or dispute involves or has been caused by the chair and/or Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO This policy does not apply to harassment grievances, which should be handled pursuant to the harassment policy. Adopted by the ISU Alumni Association Board of Directors on May 22, 2004.

HARASSMENT POLICY

If an individual alleges that harassment has occurred, the reporting of the incident shall occur as follows: 1. If the individual making the complaint is a staff member who claims harassment by a Board member, the incident should be reported to the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO or the university’s director of equal opportunity and diversity, who will investigate the matter and take appropriate action. 2. If the individual making the complaint is a Board member who claims harassment by a staff member, the incident should be reported to the chair or any member of the executive committee of the ISUAA Board, or to the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO, who will have the incident investigated and take appropriate action. 3. If the individual making the complaint is a Board member who claims harassment by another Board member, the incident should be reported to the chair or any member of the executive committee of the ISUAA Board, who will investigate the matter and take appropriate action.

The ISUAA Board of Directors expressly prohibits any employee or Board member from harassment or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, marital status, disability, status as a U.S. Vietnam Era Veteran, or any group protected by state or local law.

The ISUAA prohibits any form of retaliation for filing a bona fide complaint under this policy or for assisting in a complaint investigation.

Sexual harassment undermines the integrity of the employment and volunteer relationship. All employees and volunteers must be allowed to work in an environment free from unsolicited and unwelcome sexual overtures. Sexual harassment reduces morale, interferes with work productivity, impugns individual dignity, and is contrary to the ISUAA mission.

This policy is intended to address non-routine contact with the media and those situations that have not been previously designated by the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO as part of the ongoing job responsibilities of specific Alumni Association staff and/or Board of Directors. To ensure the quality and consistency of non-routine information provided to media sources, the following shall be enforced:

With respect to sexual harassment, the ISUAA Board of Directors prohibits the following: 1. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and all other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual or otherwise offensive nature, especially where the conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. 2. Offensive comments, jokes, innuendos, and other sexually oriented statements.

BOARD INFORMATION

Adopted by the ISU Alumni Association Board of Directors on May 22, 2004.

MEDIA POLICY

• All media contacts are to be handled by the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO, or his or her designee. • All press releases or other promotional materials are to be approved by the Talbot Endowed ISUAA President and CEO, or his or her designee, prior to dissemination. • Failure to comply with the media policy shall constitute grounds for removal.

BOARD POLICIES – GENERAL CONTINUED NEPOTISM POLICY The Iowa State University Alumni Association permits the employment of qualified relatives of employees and Board members as long as such employment does not create an actual or perceived conflict of interest. For purposes of this policy, “relative” is a spouse, partner, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, or corresponding in-law or “step” relation. The Iowa State University Alumni Association will exercise sound business judgment in the placement of related employees in accordance with the following guidelines: 1. Individuals who are related by blood or marriage are permitted to work for the Iowa State University Alumni Association, provided no direct reporting or supervisory/ management relationship exists. That is, no employee is permitted to work within the “chain of command” of a relative such that one relative’s work responsibilities, salary, or career progress could be influenced by the other relative. 2. No relatives are permitted to work in the same department or in any other positions in which the Iowa State University Alumni Association management believes an inherent conflict of interest may exist. 3. Employees who marry while employed are treated in accordance with these guidelines. If, in the opinion of the Iowa State University Alumni Association management, a conflict or an apparent conflict arises as a result of the marriage, one of the employees will be transferred at the earliest practical time.

109

4. The Iowa State University Alumni Association management recognizes at times, employees and their “close friends,” “partners,” or “significant others” may be assigned to positions that create a co-worker or supervisor-subordinate relationship. The Iowa State University Alumni Association management will, in its discretion, exercise sound judgment with respect to the placement of employees in these situations in order to avoid the creation of a conflict or the appearance of a conflict of interest, avoid favoritism or the appearance of favoritism, and decrease the likelihood of sexual harassment in the workplace.

Step 1: Vice chair of records informs the Board chair if a member is subject to removal due to lack of attendance.

Step 2: The chair contacts said Board member to identify reasons for lack of attendance and what the member sees as his/her future commitment to Board service, especially in light of reasons for lack of attendance.

Step 3: Following the chair’s consultation with said Board member, the chair has the authority to recommend to the executive committee the removal of said Board member or to consult with the executive committee to determine whether the Board member should be removed. In every instance when confidentiality is requested by the Board member in question, the chair must respect that confidentiality.

Step 4: The decision of the executive committee will be forwarded to the Board for approval. In every instance when confidentiality is requested by the member in question, the chair must respect that confidentiality.

• This past fall (2019) the Student Alumni Leadership Council (SALC) was excited to create a new committee, the First Year Leadership League. In the past, SALC’s structure and selection process did not lend itself to engage first-year students. We found that by the time our application and interview processes came around, the best, brightest, and most diverse students were already overwhelmed with commitments they’d made to other student organizations. Ideally, we wanted to expose these incoming students to the four different SALC committees, what they do, give them event planning and execution experience in the spring, and ultimately help them to find a great fit on one of the SALC committees. • Homecoming Central Committee organizes a variety of homecoming activities, including painted banners, community service projects, Yell-Like-Hell spirit competition, pep rally, ExCYtement in the Streets, Mass Campaniling, fireworks, tournaments, silent auction, and more.
