“All actions of the governing body were handled at the board level for the organization for the current year. No committees were utilized.”

“Management reviewed in detail form 990; an executive summary was provided to the board of directors.”

“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers the following individuals: members of the board of directors of wss, officers of wss, department heads and other administrative employees, employees to whom authority has been delegated to commit wss to a course of action or whose recommendations are likely to be influential in determining a course of action, and individuals having certain relationships with the aforementioned individuals, such as being members of the same family or household or beneficiaries or trustees of any trust in which the aforementioned individual is a beneficiary or trustee. A copy of the conflict of interest policy is provided to each covered individual at the time he or she assumes such status. Within 5 days of receipt of that policy, the covered individual shall sign and submit to the human resources director or delegated staff member an initial conflict of interest disclosure statement form which acknowledges the policy and its contents. This disclosure statement is maintained in the covered individual's personnel file. Each covered individual shall report situations involving an actual or partial conflict of interest to the human resources director of wss in letter format. Each covered individual shall disclose any interest in transactions presented to corporate management and/or the board of directors of wss, depending on the role of the individual. Once the actual or potential conflict is identified with management/board of directors, it is reviewed by management/board of directors and a determination is made as to whether the situation has the potential to result in a personal gain for the employee/board member or for a relative. If the potential for a personal gain exists and a conflict is identified, safeguards are established by management/board of directors to protect all parties. Such safeguards could include prohibiting the employee or board member from participating in the deliberations and decision making process relative to the situation or transaction causing the conflict. Wss obtains signed conflict of interest statements from each member of the board of directors on an annual basis.”

“The organization's compensation plan follows a base pay market approach which is similar for all employees including top management. On an annual basis, the human resources department recommends changes to the base pay ranges as determined through market analysis. As part of the annual budgeting process, the board reviews and approves, as appropriate, the funds to be allocated for total compensation. In addition, there is a compensation committee who reviews the compensation of the ceo. A member of the compensation committee informs the vp of finance of any changes to the ceo's compensation so they can be processed. The process is documented and secured in an undisclosed location.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Wesley spectrum services sends a copy of the annual report to all donors of the organization.”

“In fiscal year 2017-2018, wesley spectrum services provided services promoting recovery and resiliency at 8 different agency locations and various shared facilities in the community. We were able to provide person-centered care to over 5,000 individuals and families. Our transformational support services were provided to individuals ranging in age from infancy to older adults, with youth being the majority of our service recipients. Thirty-two percent of program participants self-identified as racial or ethnic minorities. Of families and clients who participated in agency satisfaction surveys, 97% said that staff carefully listened to them and treated them with respect and dignity. Of those surveyed, 92% said they would recommend the respective program to others with similar needs. Outcomes overview: 70% of youth who spent time in the wonder kids social skills groups were in the normal-mild range on the social responsiveness scale when they left the program, which indicates that participation can result in little or reduced social impairment despite being on the autism spectrum. 75% of individuals who leave our behavioral health rehabilitation services (bhrs/wraparound) program utilize a lower level of behavioral health support at discharge. 90% of youth in the foster care program are enrolled in at least one community program at discharge vs fewer than 20% when starting the program. Completion of our in-home program is significantly related to the youth staying in school or experiencing improvement in educational environment as well as choosing to maintain more stable living situations. 57 school districts throughout southwestern pennsylvania had students who participated in the education services provided at our schools. 87% of youth at risk of out-of-home placement were able to remain in their family homes after working with the family-focused, solution-based program. Family based mental health provided services to nearly 400 families across 3 counties. Almost 100 parents and children successfully completed parent child interactive therapy (pcit) and built stronger relationships with each other because of it.”
