“CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT In observance of best governance practices, Wounded Warrior Project requires each current officer and director to sign, on an annual basis, a statement that affirms such person has received a copy of the organization's conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the organization's policy, and has agreed to comply with it. The organization's conflict of interest policy requires, among other things, directors and officers to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest. The nominating and corporate governance committee of the board reviews signed conflicts of interest statements on an annual basis. Persons with a conflict are not permitted to participate in deliberations and vote on matters with respect to which they have a conflict. Additionally, on an annual basis, each current officer and director completes a questionnaire to determine "independence" for purposes of Form 990, Part VI, Line 1(b). The organization reviews these completed questionnaires and, as appropriate, seeks additional information to monitor and enforce compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Following revision of the WWP Teammate Handbook effective January 1, 2016, all current employees acknowledged receipt of the handbook, which contains a conflict of interest policy. The policy requires all employees to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit actual or potential conflicts of interest. As set forth in the handbook, certain prohibited actions may lead to immediate termination, such as non-disclosure of interest in, or connection with any business that could be perceived as improper, a conflict of interest, or gives the appearance of impropriety. The policy advises employees to consult with a manager or the human resources department if they are unsure how to handle and/or unsure about whether they should disclose a specific situation. Together with the management team, the human resources department and the legal department review and address any actual or possible conflicts of interests.”
